Day 8: Training :)
Yesterday I continued my lovely training. First I learned how to clean and set rooms for guests. Our Chalet is like a hotel, so I can now set up rooms! We cleaned and set up a few rooms in Main Chalet and in Speaker.
Then I helped with organzing the tool shed on the veranda near the kitchen. There was stuff piling on all of the tables and reminded me of a Hoarders episode. We put some items in the recycle pile and then re-organized the rest of it. By the time we were done it looked like piles of stuff that was organized (when you looked closely at it).

There were two highlights of the morning:
1) My socks arrived! After one week of borrowing socks, I finally have my socks! Thanks Mom!
2) We have two cows spending some time at Our Chalet. They have a grazing area near the Main Chalet (fenced in with a small electric fence). They are creamy white with brown spots and their names are being voted on Our Chalet's facebook page. I can hear their bells as they move around and eat grass :)

Their names are Trixie and Bambi (I'm not sure which name belongs to which cow though...)

After lunch, we had a training on WAGGGS. WAGGGS stands for World Association of Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting. I learned more about the structure of WAGGGS and how the World Centres fit into that. I also learned that there is a 5th World Centre that is currently being set up. It will be a virtual travelling World Centre in Africa. I learned a lot about the World Centres, and WAGGGS; I hope to volunteer at another World Centre soon.

Then it was kitchen training time! We helped Katy prepare dinner. I did miscellaneous jobs including....writing the menu on the whiteboard! We prepared beef chili, lentil chili and salad for dinner along with cherry pie. Yum!

After dinner, a few more summer vollies went through the oven!  We also planned on hiking to town at midnight and then climbing the fountain as part of the staff challenge. I went to sleep early to prepare for the hike but it was raining too much that we decided to call it off. It was too dangerous and slippery last night!

It was not the most exciting day (besides getting the socks) but it was mildly productive (I read one page of my summer reading book for Critical Pedagogy!). Whoo!
