JDC seemed to think
that a week was too long to go without pampering me so it was time for another
weekend in a hotel. This one actually required work, but I guess I would have
to do that eventually so it may as well happen in a free hotel with free food.
This
seminar was for madrichim and, as my brain found out later, mostly for program
planning and brainstorming. That is a lot of program planning. I helped plan
for the kids and university students mostly and after a full two and a half
days of that I planned for a good long nap.
There were
fun things too though: a really nice Shabbat dinner with really nice people,
barbecue, and games.
I also led my first sessions which was an important experience for me. It took me a while to realize that sometimes when the madrichim were speaking over me in Russian they weren't being disruptive but were actually translating for each other. I don't know what percent of the time but it happened at least once. So I either need to learn fluent Russian or chill. I'll go with both.
The
highlight for me was when I led an evening program. Not because I think I'm a
genius, but because they did this:
So many
bonus points
