Anyway. I’ve lost my train of thought. So, ciao.

And goodnight

Dear diary.

Let me tell you about my day. I woke up at 7 20. Set the table, made around 30 slices of nutella (since we have 21 kids and another intern was helping and made the rest). Then i helped make ten sandwiches, had a cup of cereal when I was doing all this and then washed all the dishes. Then i went to the bathroom and changed my clothes. The little kids were getting ready to go to the beach. I was hanging around to se if they wanted something and then went upstairs to check my phone. Then I was down again. The owner was getting late as the kids weren’t getting ready. Then she yelled at me, ‘CONTROL THE KIDS! IN THE MORNING YOU HAVE TO CONTROL THE KIDS! YOU CANT BE I DON’T KNOW WHERE!’.

So I ran to the rooms and tried to tell them to hurry. 

‘Pronto!’

‘Blah blah blah’

Then when I said pronto again, I heard a very rude ‘one MOMENT!’
   

I don’t speak Italian. If the kids want something, they usually can’t explain to me and if I want them to do something, they don’t understand. So I prefer to do the cleaning instead of dealing with the kids. That’s how the owner prefers it too. She gave us that option. Cuz the two Spanish speaking interns can actually talk to them and understand them, they have to play with the kids and we have to clean.

Anyway so the owner took the kids and the two Spanish speaking interns to the beach and me and the Russian had to clean.
   

I made 15 beds and fixed two. Making beds is really annoying.
Fix the mattress cover, spread the sheet in a certain way, spread the bed cover and fix the pillow. Repeat repeat and repeat. I picked up all the dirty wet clothes including underwear from the bathrooms. Cleaned the shower areas. Swept atleast five rooms. Swept the kitchen. Mopped the kitchen. Mopped the gym room. Collected the clothes that were hanging to dry. Put the wet ones on the washing line. Put everyones belongings in the right place. Collected the clothes that needed to be washed from the line. Emptied the trash can and placed a new trash bag in the bin. Washed the remaining dishes. Cleaned the owners bedroom. The shelf. The second kitchen. The shelves in the first kitchen. Wiped the two dinner tables. And I don’t remember what else.
   

Then they came back. I stayed with the girls colouring for a while. Asked the owner if I could help with lunch. Set the table outside with three other people. Brought water. Filled the glasses. Put the extra plates back in the kitchen. Cleaned the kitchen. Went to find and give the kids tissue paper. Came back to the kitchen. Cleaned the extra dishes. When they were done with lunch, helped collect the plates. Washed all the glasses and a few plates. Cleared the kitchen area.

Then the kids asked to play cards so we sat at the dining table to play. I played for 5 minutes and then the owner came lookin for someone and went upstairs to the gym room. Then she came down with a really angry expression and yelled ‘I don’t understand why TWO little GIRLS are alone in the gym room! It’s INCREDIBLE! Put them to sleep!’
   

       
(I dont understand what a 5 year old is doing at a camp for kids who are 8-14 years of age but what business is that of mine).
   

So I left the apple that I was eating (incidentally, my lunch) and the cards and ran upstairs. 
   

The two little girls 5 & 9 were sitting and talking. So I
went to them and asked them to sleep as best I can in Italian but the 9 year old didn’t want to sleep. I took the 5 year old, gave the 9 year old to the kids playing cards put her to sleep and then returned for the 9 year old. She scratched her finger so then she wanted bandaid and I followed her all around the camp. Another intern had Bandaid so she looked for him but he was showering. I asked her to wait but noo.

She went to the room where he was showering, played with an extremely sharp nailcutter and then made me play hide and seek with her. The owner came. I was standing outside the room and writing this when the she was all where is Valentina? I told her that we were playing hide and seek. The owner gave her the phone cuz her mum had called. The owner left and Valentina finished talking on the phone. Then she started turning the light on and off so that the intern would come out. He finally did and by that time she didn’t want the bandaid but spent half an hour in the bathroom. I was waiting inside but she told me to go lie on the bed.

(Took me ten minutes to understand that). 
   

Half an hour and one stinky bathroom later, she was done and I followed her to the room where she applied her nail colour. Then the owner told her to leave the room since the 5 year old was asleep and I followed her to the dining room where she continued with applying her nail colour. Noe shes in the pool and I’m standing under the hot sun, looking at her play in the water.
   

It’s not even 4 pm.

When the princess is done with the pool and soaking wet she wants me to carry her to her bedroom. Which is far enough for ME to be soaking wet by the time I get there. This is what happened just now. Plus, a nine year is no 5 year old. A nine year old is heavy.

Princess is taking a shower now. And I’m waiting outside. Like a humble servant. Wait I have to go get her towel.
