Hey all! so sorry its been so long since ive been on here, the last few days have been really really crazy. So saturday was the day when all the kids left, which was a great relief for me as my cabin had been slipping further and further out of control for the last week, to the point where one kid punched another in the face infront of me. not good, but it gave me an excuse to shout at them all and draw the reigns in a little! So saturday came, we had a mad mad tidying up session first thing in the morning. Then me and brendan found out we were going to LA, that day. Which was so so so exiting. So we travelled down on the bus with all the kids, two seperate busses, a mini bus, a pickup, and a SUV all went down cos there were so many kids with lots of baggage coming back. So we get to LA at about 6 oclock and meet up with all the other people from skylake and we went out and hit the town... with Jeff the directors credit card!!! he gave us it to cover all our expenses. So we had a really lovely meal in this place called the cheesecake factory. I had a pasta dish with prawns and chicken, it was so so nice. The bill came to $130 for 4 of us so it was pricey, but hey, jeff owes us! We then headed back to our hotel/motel. Which was ok, not the ritz but was great to have 4 rooms full of people to run around between. It was really great fun. We were meant to get up at 6 this morning to get to the federal building for 730, we woke at 645 by accident so we had a mad mad rush getting organised and getting all the kids on the bus and all the lawyer parents off the bus. But it was great, i had a great ride back, made lots of new kid friends who are already telling people im the coolest!! LA was fantastic, we did alot of driving round beverly hills area in the big skylake mini bus with me and brendan just junping about with excitment. It didnt really feel real at all. So we are defo gona try and put our names down on the list for next time cos its really great fun. So now im a relief counsellor, which means that i just cover for the cabin when the normal counselor is off. What it really means is lots and lots of free rest time for me, which is so nice, im really tired and ready for a really chilled out few weeks. The kids im relieving for are 13yearolds and ive spent tonight with them, they are completely awesome, had me laughing outloud all night. I bought a phone card the other night, so be expecting a phone call home at somepoint to mum and dad!! Anyways, im gona head off now, i think im going to sleep on the tennis courts tonight, just cos i can. Love to you all, hope all is well every where.. keep me up to date, i want to hear!! love to you all! XXXXXXX
