Today was a long day at work. The kids had no desire to learn anything or listen to what we had to say. They’d ask us questions and then not pay attention to the answer. They would proceed to ask the same question again a couple minutes later. Then there was little people coming up to ask a question, mumbling something and trailing off. It’s quite hard to discern what they’re trying to tell you. They drove me nuts, but I made it through the day without flipping out on someone. It wouldn’t be a good idea if I did. I remember it happening last year too, they’re good for the first three days, the last two are a challenge. I think they must have some sort of maximum amount of information that they can cram into their heads over a short period of time. Either that or they can only sit in front of a computer for so many days in a row.

I haven’t spent a whole
I haven’t spent a whole lot of time online the last few days. Between working a couple jobs, some of it being teaching computers, as well as the holiday weekend, I haven’t really had that much desire to go online at home. I’m back in brockville for a couple months, i dragged my computer back too. I convinced my parents to get dsl this week, so hopefully I won’t have to deal with the dial-up for much longer.
The camp I’m teaching right now only has dial-up, the one i’m teaching at for the next five weeks will be high speed. I talked to some people today and they said that the place i’m teaching at right now should have highspeed up and running by the time i get back there for my seventh and eighth weeks. It’s prety much the same situation as last year right now. It makes it kind of hard to teach the kids how to use the internet.
