EEK!!! As of today there are only two weeks left of my internship and this blog and my articles are horribly behind!!!

In other news, this week is "Build It!" and I think it has gone quite well. Basically, I give the kids a bunch of "stuff"-cardboard, cardboard tubes, straws, yarn, Cool Whip tubs, etc.- and glue and let them go to town. They really seem to enjoy it. Some have made abstract art while some have made crowns, masks, and one of my guys made a telescope. Everyone left happy which is all that matters to me. Would be nice if we could get them to help clean up though....

I actually didn't do the "Build It!" program today. Miss Laura went to the Monrovia branch for the program and I stayed at Main to help Jennifer with one of the teen programs. It was quite cool actually. The kids (we had four) brought in a t-shirt and place stencils, puzzle pieces, etc. on the shirt to form a desired pattern and Jennifer sprayed the shirts with a bleach mixture. The bleach faded the shirts except for where the objects were placed leaving some really cool designs. Two girls brought brown shirts but one shirt become purple when the bleach faded while the other turned orange. I rinsed the shirts out for the kids and bagged them so they could take them home. I even got to bleach my own shirt to keep!

Sigh...I'm really gonna miss seeing my kids and my coworkers....
