It's the same almost every day!

Welcome back to another edition of the occasional updating of my blog. As promised last time, like nine days ago, I will take you through a day in the dorms.
It starts with breakfast in the morning. That gets set out by 7:30. It is usually a simple affair, cereal, toast, milk, and juice. At the same time we have a lunch table set out - bread, meat, cheese, juice boxes (they are actually little juice pouches), yogurt, and some sort of desert. The kids make sandwiches to take to school. They have to be at the bus stop by 8:15, at least, technically they do. The bus is usually later than that. Some days we make a hot breakfast for them - eggs and hashbrowns, or waffles, or something like that.
After they are gone, we have our morning staff meeting. We talk about what needs to be talked about and we make sure we all know what is going on. Some days have long meetings, other days are quick. Wednesday we have larger staff meetings - sometimes all of the RAs together, sometimes the 'new staff', sometimes every single dorm staff member. Those meetings usually go until almost noon.
After the meeting we do things around the dorm that need to be done. This is when someone will go shopping for the dorm if it needs to be done. We usually go shopping two or three times a week, just to keep these guys fed. We do room checks, to make sure they are keeping their rooms neat (no one checks my room, thank goodness) and keep track. At the end of every two weeks those who kept their room extremely neat get a prize. It is during this post meeting time that we will often do baking for various occasions. We will make cookies or brownies for snack or for lunch dessert. Sometimes sports teams need snacks for the weekend.
After that we have some free time until around four when the kids get back from school. Around four there is a snack put out for the kids who come home then. Many like to stay after school and hang out with friends. Then they come home around six.
Once snack is eaten we hang out with the kids, doing whatever, playing ping pong or pool, or doing whatever. Supper is around six or six-fifteen. After supper many of the students have to do chores, AKA their 'gratis'. At 8 o'clock is study time for everyone but the seniors (the grade 12 students). We have to be supervising them during this time, making sure they are keeping relatively quiet and not bothering other people, even when they have no homework. That goes until ten o'clock. At ten-thirty they all go to bed, except for the seniors who have no 'bed time', but who are expected to keep up with their sleep and homework anyway.
That is a typical day. It doesn't sound too bad, but it can be quite tiring. Anyone with children can understand, I'm sure.
But I should go now. I will try to write more often, but it is hard to keep motivated to update regularly. Kids are tiring.
Auf Wiedersehen!
