54 hours completed
The smell I forgot to mention last time has since disapated. I think it was the smell of a death, the calling card of a rat past its prime. I had smelled a similar scent in my own basement and had been relieved to be rid of it as I entered 826. We had a field trip today but this time there was a new leader. Instead of Walter, who was playing Mr. Blue today, a role I'm finding more and more intreaging, there was this other dude. I'll attempt to find his name out. Anyways, he was pretty good at being a leader, in fact, he was one of the best I'd ever heard perform. He was lively, energetic, and seemed to know the ropes pretty well. A good start to a great day.
The day was hectic. The book making process took a lot longer than was expected. The artwork was the main culprit. There were apparently a lot off errors and almost as many people back there trying to rectify the situation. Hmm...I wonder if anybody is reading this...if so offer me a double high five the next time you see me, and thanks for reading! Back to the main story line-The kids left and we were still working overdrive in the back. Apparently the kids were in the park next door and we had to put the cover on the books and then bind them in addition to printing out their pictures and putting the back covers on. We had some help from a longtime intern I just meet today and she really helped us out. She did the majority of the work, we were more like helper bees.
But during this entire time the rest of the crew was preparing a surprise lunch because one of the veteran drawers was celebrating his 100th field trip; I thought they were kidding when they said it was his 100th but boy was I wrong! We had a celebritory lunch at 826 after which we had our regular tutoring sessions which went pretty well. Once again I was told I was a bad tutor, this time by a student. But I think I've gotten better, two more days, rock.
