Hello, you don't know me, but I know who you are


"Hey, you don't know me, but I know who you are. "
"So, you're a volunteer too eh? You're a pretty young volunteer, as old as some of my campers. "
"So what school do you go to? Burnaby Mountain? Cool."
"If you went to Burnaby North, that would mean you go to the same school that I do. "
"So, you got a girlfriend?"

Geek


A kid called me a geek today.
Abe: "How do you open the website program?"
Me: START > Programs > Applications > Macromedia Dreamweaver > Voila!
Abe: "Can you help me type in airliners.net?"
Me: "I'm not your maid, type it yourself. It's easy."
Abe: *clumsily types in www.ariliner.net*
Me: *Gets impatient and types it for him*

This is the same kid who got himself stuck in a chair for fifteen minutes during a game of telephone charades. How? That escapes even me. Was it hilarious? Yes, but it made the class go insane and absolutely uncontrollable. Which just reminds me of why I love computer time.


Although computer class usually pertains me scrambling around the classroom answering to needy kids' computer questions, they are such n00bs that they will give me their undivided attentions while watching me copy and paste an image onto Macromedia Dreamweaver, or gawk at my 1337 typing skillz. Also, once they kids get occupied with internet games, It's free time for me, until the inevitable, but always tragic end of class time. Well, it's the end of computer class now, I must now return dutifully to my kids.

Who can give me some examples of web browsers?


Ryan: "Who can give me some examples of web browsers?"
Brian: "Google!"
Joey: "Microsoft!"
Kevin: "MSN?"

There's something about a room full of 9-11 year old n00bs in a computer lab playing internet scavenger hunt that's oddly stupid and amusing. Ryan had assigned a list of questions regarding the internet for the little fools to research. Ryan is my hero for being able to keep these kids interested and occupied for the entire class. Even Hank, who has found a liking to lagging behind while the pack traverse from classroom to classroom to ask me personal questions has quieted down and devote all of his... youthful energy to doing these questions.

As I currently write this, I am sitting in the back of a dimly lit computer lab, and making trips around the classroom helping kids use Google. How many email accounts ARE there anyway? That is beyond even my googling skills, but only because it's impossible to find out since about 11'000 new ones are created every friggin day.


Who can tell me, who has the most money in the world?
Bill Gates!
No, Bill Gates is very rich, but he's not the richest person there is. I'm looking for something more like a corporation...
Microsoft!
No...
Firefox!
No, think of a place, that has alot of money to spend on things...
America!
Yes! What part of America?
California?
South America!

lmfao

Well, it's now 10:15, and the kids are getting 15 minutes of free computer time. Man do I not miss the days of Neopets and cartoonnetwork.com. It's almost Rec. time, and my legs are still sore from yesterday, so I probably won't be overly active today.


Hank called me over to show me what Pokemon I am. Apparently I am a Raichu.
Well, it's about time to go, I won't be posting a picture until I get home.
