Commencement was last night. Lindsay and Jennifer are not high school graduates. I'm surprised at how much I'm going to miss them next year. Jennifer will be working at the swim club doing the drama camp that I did last year so I'll see her every day. Lindsay is going to be taking summer classes at the local Penn State campus so that she can get ahead. She's also working at an ice cream shop in town. Alex will be going away again this summer. This year he's going to Europe for the month of July. Molly is trying to pretend that she's okay about it, but I can tell she's sad that he'll be gone.

Today I'm working at the swim club for a few hours. Henry wants me to give Jennifer an orientation so that she'll be ready for the campers when they come next week. I'm going to help Jennifer learn the ropes and help her and Lauren pick a play. It would have been a huge help if someone had done that for me last year.

I'm looking forward to my job this year. Originally I was supposed to do the drama camp, but Jennifer needed a job and Henry needed an assistant so I secured the assistant position and then helped Jen get a job. She's kind of nervous since she's never worked outside of a theater or soundstage, but she wanted to stay close to home this summer because of Terry.

My job is going to be great. As Henry's assistant, I get to be the Assistant Activities Coordinator. I'll help him oversee the camp and the swim club activities. I may act as a substitute camp counselor when people are out sick or on vacation. I may also fill in at the snack bar from time to time. The only thing I'm not thrilled about is that Henry wants me to get my lifeguard certification. He knows I'm a good swimmer and that I've had CPR training so he thinks I could be a substitute lifeguard too. Actually, I think it was Jill's idea since she's the head lifeguard.

After work today, I'm going to Terry's graduation party. He goes to a different school than we do so we didn't get to see him graduate, but we will get to help him celebrate. We had a few invitations but Molly thought we should go to Terry's. It didn't take much to convince me when she reminded me that Josh will probably show up for a little while at Terry's house since they're friends. I hope she's right! :)
