5 weeks down, 3 to go

Jul 27, 2007 17:48

Recently I've found myself getting really angry. Not at people, but just in general. I think it has to do with working with campers all day. They were really good when camp started 5 weeks ago, but for the last 2 weeks the ones who have been here the whole summer have gotten bad. I feel like I spend my whole day yelling at kids to stop what they're doing or they'll have to see Mr.Berry (the camp director) and I'm only the sports director, so it's not just one group that I'm dealing with each day. I think thats part of the problem, I don't have to deal with only 20 kids each week, I have to deal with 50-60 who are all different ages and different maturity levels. I do my best to be peppy all day and make the kids have fun, but its soooooo hard when I have 30 minutes to have them do a sport and they spend 15 of it goofing off. I'm glad the camp's only 8 weeks, cause if it was longer, I'd probably go crazy.

Another thing that frustrates me is the fact that I didn't go to Wayland, and therefore don't have a lot in common with all the people I work with. They all have known each other for a long time and they are always talking about this thing or that and I sit there with my mouth shut cause I don't have anything to put in the conversation. When I first started I thought not knowing people would help me to speak out more, but since they all know each other, I think it makes it worse.

I hate that I haven't seen people, and I'm gonna work on that. I don't leave for London until the 21 of September, so there's plenty of time to see everyone I want to see (even if I have to make some trips to see people when they get back to school in the fall).

Umm... yeah. Can't think of anything else, I just want this anger (or I guess its frustration) to go away, cause life would be good if it did.

♥ ciao
