I knew I would have a beyond-busy summer, I would be a junior teacher for the Little Dragons Karate(空手道) Camp. And I had to do summer swim team. And Ollie and I already had two customers for our dog-walking business,
"You might be biting off more than you can chew, " my mom said with a warning glimpse when I talked to her about it and announced, "I want to do everything!"
"Don't worry. " I grinned, "I have strong teeth!"
My mom smiled back. "In this case, it's your organizational skills, not your teeth, that need to be strong. " I didn't take it to my heart.
And the first week really was no problem. My friend Ollie was out of town and karate camp hadn't started, so my swim stuff was all I needed to worry about. The next week was great too. I swam, and a Little Dragon at karate camp told me I was his favorite teacher ever!
I did learn, though, that staying organized with two activities was harder. My backpack was already stuffed with a towel and swim things, so I needed another for my karate clothing. Riding my bike from karate camp to the pool with two backpacks was a challenge. But I still had it under control until Ollie got back.
"We're late getting our business together!" he said. "We'll have to spend every spare minute preparing. "
"But I don't have any spare minutes!" I said
"Did you forget we agreed to walk Alfie every Saturday? And Muffin on Tuesdays at 4:00?"Ollie asked. I couldn't let Ollie down, so I took out a third backpack and filled it with dog toys, treats, and plastic bags. I thought I was all set.
But I was wrong! It didn't take long for my dog-walking stuff and karate stuff and swim stuff to get all mixed up, forgotten, or lost. One day, I forgot my karate backpack and had to borrow Emma's extra outfit, which was too tight. The next day, I remembered my karate stuff but forgot my swimsuit, so I had to help out in the snack shop and stay out of the pool all afternoon. And another time, when I reached into my dog-walking pack for plastic bags, all I could find were swim goggles(护目镜) and sunscreen.
