Day 203: ThinkTogether Ending.

July 22nd, 2011Day 203 of my blog = Day 19 of ThinkTogether = the final day of the summer program. After going to EHS in the morning, I went to Jack in the Box for brunch before heading to Waigenheim for the FINAL DAY OF MY JOB. SO SAD. I’ll give a more comprehensive review of my summer job later, but the last day was quite a challenge, and at the same time bittersweet. Lunch was exciting as I got my yearbook signed by various students as well as took various pictures with my favorite students, making my picture of the day (The gossip Girls). With it being the last day, I showed 4 periods of the films the students made in alternating periods, with Group7&8, Group 1&2, Group 3&4, and Group 5&6. It was super exciting as most of the kids were extremely rifled up and ready to go home. I gave the best groups (1&2) prizes, and subsequently showed videos to everyone, really enjoying the Twitter Movie (Group 2), as well as the Bachelor (Group 4). With the day over, we all proceeded to the auditorium in an effort to watch a slideslow made by Mr. Alex. It was super cute, and afterwards some of the students performed a song about a cat to the audience [The Cat Came Back] (which included parents). THE END, AND GOODBYE in this case, might just be forever. I might not see those students EVER AGAIN.

Afterwards, me and Geetha met up, and went on a “surprise date” to Pho Hoa Hiep. We bused there using the 41 and went to Rite Aid afterwards to get ice cream. Not quite as good as Pho T. Cali, but loads better than Pho La Jolla. On the bus ride there, a fight almost broke out. A group of white boys were spitting on each other (for fun) in the front of the bus, while black men in the back were mocking them and making fun of them. When the white boys left the bus they cussed out the black men, agitating the bus driver to yell at them to get off. It was super exciting and at the same time very dangerous. When we got back, Amul called – I met him in the parking lot and picked him up. Jessica and Alex soon came after, we all caught up and played Catan with Lauren. Afterwards, we talked for quite a few hours, before Alex and Jessica departed. We watched Human Centipede, which was an extremely depressing and grotesque movie. EWWWWWWWWWW. NEVER WATCH ITTTT EVER! We watched some Youtube videos afterwards before falling asleep.
