Friday

Today was the last day of camp. I had to be camp lifeguard but I didn't miss too much, the kids just snorkeled and did plankton tows. We got to leave early at 3 because we're so efficient and got everything done.
My big project that I finished this week was going through two years of evals (This lady, Penelope Kingman donates "scholarships" to send 4 kids from boys and girls club to camp every week of the summer and we in turn evaluate all the kids by something called a kingman eval) Basically we give the kids a blank piece of paper on the first day and ask them to represent a question that is related to the theme of camp for the week. We give them back the paper on the last day and they add on to their response. Then we have to score them based on 3 things, relevant topics, correct topics but not something they would learn at camp and an overall score on a scale of 1-5 of how well they answered the question. We have to have 2-3 reviewers for each week of Kingman evals. I just organized and made sure that every week got eval'd by at least 2 people and then I had to enter the data into excel spreadsheets. This was something they expected to work on "sometime during the summer" but we all just wanted to get it done first. We are now caught up, even on the two weeks of camp this summer.
Other than that, nothing too exciting, I celebrated getting home early by taking a nap. Last night Sarah-Jane (her weekends are Friday and Saturday) went out to dinner at chilis (we had a $5 off coupon for the 10 under $7 entrees) and then we met her friend/fellow intern in Siesta at the Daiquri Deck. We weren't out too late but I was just tired from the week.

PS:
Patrick sent me this video in an email. I thought it sounded like a pretty accurate description of what goes on there in the summer! haha.
