Not me, personally. But I was on Night Crew yesterday.

For the most part the day was cool... I was in-charge of entertaining the kids until 3:30 P.M. while they were waiting for their interviews (when they first come all the kids get interviews), so that meant arts and crafts, poker-playing, and wandering the grounds and doing random fun stuff.

Since I had night crew though, I got from 3:30-5:30 P.M. off, and I spent that time on Gaia talking to James... XD. He was jealous because of what I said about all these guys I'm working with, but we've got that sorted out now. Believe me, he has nothing to worry about.

Anyway, night crew didn't go so badly until about 9:30 P.M. Basically when you're on night crew you have to put the kids to bed. Night crew starts at 7:30 with the younger kids, and 8 P.M. with the older ones (I know that's early, but they also have to get up early). Basically that just means I get them to take their showers, make sure they're in bed on time, and that after lights out no one's talking, and that everyone goes to sleep (lights out is 9 P.M. for the older kids, and 8:30 for the younger kids, and then you can have your flashlights and whatever on until half an hour later. So it's not quite that early. But still pretty early).

I was in charge of the girl's dorms (lucky me), and the older girls took awhile to get in bed because they take too long, but the younger girls were easy. The problem was after getting everyone to bed, because two of them were crying and wanted their moms. One was the daughter of a staff member, so eventually her father came and calmed her down, but the other one wanted to call her mom, so eventually I took her to my house and let her call, and then she calmed down, but she came back to my house afterwards saying that she couldn't sleep. So I let her sleep in my room, in MY bed, and I (believe it or not) slept on the floor in a sleeping bag.

I'm waaaaay too nice... meh. But I really didn't want her up any longer, and I knew she'd have a hard time sleeping on the floor. I gotta go... breakfast is in four minutes. But I'll finish this entry later. Cya.
