I’d like to say the first day of camp went flawlessly, but of course that would be a BIG FAT LIE! The buses were late, we ran out of name stickers, the phone in my lab was the only phone working and it rang off the hook all day, and my first group was an hour late which was actually a God send; they were an unenthusiastic lot and had me yawning within 10 minutes.

The little ones were ‘little’, half the class was computer literate, and the other half weren’t quite sure what a mouse was. I had to put little dots on the left mouse button. Thank God for kidpix, the stupid sounds kept them entertained.

The junior group lesson was a nightmare. None of the games worked. I installed all the games under the  administrator user and none wanted to work under the limited account – wtf is up with that? One of the games insisted it would only work on a dvd player, and another didn’t like the pc graphics card.

Oh yeah, and the guitar amp caught fire so I had to evacuate.

A fire drill is scheduled for tomorrow.

7 weeks 4 days to go!
