The Time is Drawing Near

It's that time again. Next week I have 3 finals and two papers due on Monday. Then I should be home for the summer. I'm very glad the semester is almost complete. I need a break from classes. Hopefully this summer I'll be able to find a job that will pay for school next year.

Other than the usual hustle and bustle of the end of the semester we had BCYF last weekend. That was good fun. Attendance was down, but we made the best of it. CCC performed skits Friday night and, I and three other students led a workshop on Saturday called "Fire, Ice, & Scales." It was a big hit. We had students from our first group come back for the last group because they liked it so much. Basically we blew things up, froze some bouncy balls in liquid nitrogen, and let them play with the snake and the skink. Saturday night I was entrusted with running the EuroBungy.

I had to put harnesses on people and make sure they were tight enough, and then I had to run the controller that raised the bungy cords up and down. This part of the job wasn't difficult it was the part where I had to keep a watch on the cords as the were going in and out of the pulley systems and making sure that the cords didn't rub together and break. Luckily no one died on my watch. Overall the weekend was a good one.
