Week of 10/15

This week in LEAP we talked about a few trips that are coming up this weekend.  There are a couple of trips on Saturday one of them is a rock climbing trip and another one is where they're  going to a middle school and playing games with all of the kids all day.  Another group is also going on the backpacking trip that got cancelled last weekend.  I was going to be going on the rock climbing trip this weekend but I decided to quit LEAP due to personal reasons.  There are also other reasons why I quit.  The group that I do LEAP with has a lot of drama and everyone is connected in a way somehow.  The program is definitely a lot different than I thought it would be.  I realized that we all can't go on the trips together so only about 5 or 6 people can go on a trip each time.  It definitely is not whay I thought it was and I would rather do a different program next semester.  I think next semester I'm going to join the juvenile hall program where we hangout with kids from juvenile hall and play games with them and distract them from all of the problems they have.  From now on I think I'm going to write my blogs on my daily life and what I have been doing every week and how I am doing in school.  It'll be like my diary instead of what I have been doing in LEAP.  I think it'll be good for me to not do LEAP anymore because there were certain people in the program that are not healthy for me to be around.

October 6th meeting

This week’s LEAP meeting actually went by really quick.  Shannon brought some nachos as snacks and also these really yummy powdered chocolate goodies (I’m not sure what it’s called).  For our question of the day we had to go around in a circle and say what the most awkward place to fart in is.  It was a weird question, but people had some really funny answers.  Mine was a church right before the couple says “I do”.  During the meeting the directors went over a few trips planned out.  They talked about this weekend’s backpacking trip and they announced who gets to go.  I was disappointed because I wasn’t on the list to go.  They also talked about a couple of trips next weekend.  One trip is where we can take kids rock climbing at Moonstone all day next Saturday and another one is where we get to play board games with kids inside at their school.  It’s been a month and I still haven’t gotten the opportunity to spend time with children.  I’m really hoping I finally get to go on a trip with the kids.  I got a phone call about an hour ago and it was one of the directors saying I could go on the backpacking trip!  I got really excited and then he called back twenty minutes later saying the trip was cancelled due to rain.  So once again I am out of luck.  I’m going to cross my fingers for next weekend!
