Last night at a teen lock-in, I volunteered with other staff from WBCWS. The theme was surviving a zombie apocalypse. I now have a super awesome shirt that says "I Survived Zombie Apocalypse Training" with zombies on it. After picking up a couple girls who needed a ride, I arrived at SGU's multi-purpose building at 8pm. By this time, I had already drank one double-shot Starbucks coffee drink from a gas station. I was really tired before the night started, but that was all it took to get me through the night's events:
-From 8pm till 11pm, I signed kids in and got permission slips from parents.
-Marathon of The Walking Dead and other zombie movies began and continued all night.
-Students did get-to-know-eachother exercises.
-11pm everyone is locked in.
-Self-defence training. We learned how to take down the slow zombies, fast zombies, a mob of zombies, and people trying to take our supplies. This included getting out of a chokehold...it was legit!
-Then two girls and I did face painting to "zombify" people. Some of the ones I did looked okay...but one was my masterpiece: guts coming out of his eyes (per his request). It looked so freaky!
-At 1:30ish, nobody was asking me to paint their face, so I joined some girls passing a volleyball in a circle. It had been tempting me for a while. My fingers have been itching to play.
-Super warm and sweaty, I retired from volleyball. Watching from the sidelines, I ended up playing catch with a football. Third catch jammed my finger. I kept playing. Right away it started swelling. Luckily I thought to take my ring off before my finger grew a couple sizes. My now puffy finger feels naked without my ring.
-Then I played volleyball again. It didn't even bother my finger much!
-Sat and chilled for a bit.
-While fetching a bottle of water, a staff member asked me if I knew how to ref. I told her I play basketball. At about 4:30am, I was the ref for three basketball games going to 15 (including the championship game). I've decided that I'm an awful ref because I don't call many fouls. I also can't multitask: someone else kept score for me.
-I then chilled for a bit.
-Breakfast
-Clean-up time.
-After taking leftover food to WBCWS, I went home and to bed at 6:30am.
Waking at 3:30, I've just been relaxing.
Church tonight at 7pm!
