Getting closer
Jul. 29th, 2009 06:29 pmGoodness, but I have a new appreciation for the Sorting Hat's work right now. As I've mentioned, part of the plan for the YPL camping trip is to give our students new ways to interact with each other, outside of the bounds of formal classes or houses. Setting up how to do that, however, is rather trickier, and I admit I reverted to various repeating patterns to produce random selection most of the time.
This week has, of course, been rather complicated by the addition of Mr Thomas to the trip. That's not to say that I mind the extra changes at all: I agree that it's a wonderful way for him to meet his agemates and learn some skills before coming back to Hogwarts with me for some intensive tutoring before the year begins again.
I do believe I've gotten everything resolved, however. I'm quite glad that Mr Thomas will have tentmates so eager to explain everything to him and help him along. Since most of the other staff are gone for their vacations at the moment, I've also been helping our headmistress round up materials, notes, and other such things for him to work with once we return from camping.
Now, it's down to the last few details, and confirming dates and times with everyone, and getting my own kit packed up to be ready Sunday morning, in order to meet with the older students and get things ready. I've piles of lists, and I don't believe I've forgotten anything, but there is always that lurking fear that I'll completely forget to pack socks or some other silly thing like that.
