Left at 6:00 on Monday morning to make sure I was at the Bartlett campus for the 5th and 6th grade trip to Chattanooga!!! It was amazing!!! I learned sooo much!!!! Like seriously, I learned more than some of the kids did probably. I learned that fish do not have eyelids, that the aquarium floor in Chattanooga is slanted so after you fall asleep you WILL manage to roll down to practically the other side, that parts of the TN river have eagles (yes we saw 3) ,that Camels are really cool to see but they don't do a whole lot when in a zoo, that 5th and 6th grade children and I think alike because a few of us thought that the Chattanooga Choo-Choo Conductor looked just like Santa Claus, that I CAN hike both up and down a mountain to get to the bottom of a waterfall, and hike another mile along a river (about 2-3 miles total) and actually enjoy it! I learned that rocks can be slick and if I'm not careful I WILL fall into the water... That rocks are sharp and can cut your thumb if you aren't careful.
I learned why certain things bother my mother. For example: handing her all of your stuff because "you want to go do something else for just 1 second" or leaning on her in the hot hot sun because you "are tired and bored" or why it bothers her so much when I complain. Hahaha I'm telling you, I learned ALOT on this trip! I also learned how to scrub out pots and pans and things, and how to pour the box dish cleaning stuff into a dishwasher. How to make noodles for spaghetti, how to make green beans from a can, how to NOT open a giant green beans can, and how to properly kill a cockroach. (You stomp on it ALOT and then sweep it up and into the trash.)
I learned that if you compare the world to the rest of the universe, we would barely fit on the end of a pin prick. That we are unbelievably, incredibly, super super, TINY! That God loves us sooooooo much! I learned more about LAMININ!!! Go. Look. It. Up. NOW. Go on!!!! U done yet? Good! Isn't it incredible? Look up the video by Louie Giglio!!!! Crazy right?
I learned that sleep deprivation can lead to hysteric giggles!!!
I learned that when you are filling up a tub for "bobbing for apples" and the other CIT asks you to lean over to make sure it's deep enough, he just might dunk your head into the really really really cold water!!!!
I learned that I really truly do NOT miss Middle School.
I learned that I definitely, absolutely, without a doubt want to work with kids for the rest of my life. =)
