So today was the last day of VBS(vacation Bible School for the uninformed) and sherry and I taught a class of 10-12 preschoolers on any given day. Preschoolers are energetic as hell, as anyone might imagine if they had half a brain. But for whatever reason much of the preschooler curriculum involves sitting still and listening to stories(without pictures) or sitting still and playing instruments nicely, which simply doesn't happen with 5 year olds. Also, there were several activities that required them to wait and watch while other children in the group performed activities. If you've ever even seen a 5 year old, you know that doesn't work well. All in all, it was a frustrating week. But today was supposed to be the end. Usually on this friday, they'd have given us a volunteer appreaciation lunch and we'd clean and go home happy. But this year, we had a visitor appreaciation snack(doritos and weak kool-aid), sans the appreaciation part. Then at 7 this evening, we were required to come back and give up yet more of our time to lead our classes in some songs for their parents and tell them what we'd done all week, and be given yet another snack(cookies and weak kool-aid). And then clean-up happened. So suckiness.

Besides that, the world is just being generally sucky. Spent my one-month anniversary apart, pretty not fun. I guess a one-month isn't a big deal to most people, but since my relatinships rarely last longer than two, it would have been nice. Also still dealing with residual psuedo-parental disapproval. But at the moment, there really isn't anyone about to make it worth it, so it makes me tired.
