blah blah blah
I can't believe that it's almost the end of October...I was just saying like "yesterday" that I couldn't believe it was the beginning of October. So, here we go:
School:
I'm far enough into the semester to say that school is going pretty well. On my first poetry test I got an 87, which is scaled as an A...my Spanish Conversation class I've gotten a B and a B+ on the presentations so far, my ED class is going great, I got a school to observe at, so I'll hopefully start that next week (Southeastern Regional!), and I'm awaiting results from my first test in Spanish Civ.
I'm been thinking A LOT about psychology. Last year, from like mid first semester on, I wanted to add that as either a double major or a double minor....and it came up the other day in poetry. It's sooooo interesting to me, and I am amazed at how much information I retain from it that I don't from other subjects.
ANNNNND since I'm a Secondary Ed minor already, and a CORE Member, and I interact SOOOO much with teens/young adults, so many of the professors I've talked with said it would be WICKED beneficial to have a psych minor under my wing as well. SO yesterday I picked up a minor form for psych...I'm gonna meet with a professor in the dept and talk to him/her about it...
Work:
STILL SOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH BETTER THAN MCDONALD'S!!!! I've been talkin alot to this woman Kim who works with me in the deli. Like religion has come up SO much in that department, and so I let people know my role with my church, and share my faith with them. She thought it was wicked cool, and said she needs to get her kids back into Religious Ed, but their church closed, and she can't find one that can accomodate her...so I offered to help. Sunday her and her kids came to LIFE TEEN (the kids LOVED it), then I introduced her to Alice (rel.ed. director) and the kids are now gonna learn the ways of the Lord!
I like the deli and all, but I think I'm gonna asked to be cross trained in another department, because when they post "Want More Hours" it's always up front, and although I like that I usually get MWF off, I'd like to be able to take a shift if I can.
Friends:
I've said it before...but I really do have the best friends ever. Like...there's not doubt in my mind.
Tonight for example made me so happy. Chrissy Anna and I were gonna hang out and do this dunner thing (like we did when we first graduated high school). So I made a salad to begin with, spaghetti and meat sauce, cheese bread, and Chrissy brought half a cake for dessert. When I was on the way out from work after buying what I needed, Mike saw me, so I talked with him, and he said he was gonna come by after work. (which I didn't think he was gonna, but I gave him the benefit of the doubt). While waiting for Anna, Chrissy and I put on a dress (she did) and a dress shirt/tie sports coat and khakis. It was wicked fun. We had the house to ourselves basically, and pretended to be a family. We all cleaned up the house after we ate, then had a dance-a-thon. Chrissy and I went to pick up Juli from MB, dropped her off, and went to Shaws to try and visit Mike...he was on his way out, so we just kidnapped him, fed him some food, and then Anna came back and all 4 of us had a dance-a-thon/fun time.
It made me wicked happy because although Mike and I have "hung out" (aka seen each other at school, talked at work etc) we really haven't hung out since I was a junior/senior in hs. And it was like things never changed, I could act the same way as I did last time we hung out without fear of being judged or whatever.
Other than that, my friends in general are just awesome. Obviously your friends can tell if something is bothering you, and my friends imparticular are amazing at listening and giving advice. I can't explain it, but I get so happy when I see any of my friends, no matter how long it's been, a year, a week, an hour...and further more sometimes my friends bring tears to my eyes because they make it known that they care so much.
I'm procrastinating watching a video for my Spanish class now...hence the update..
but I think I'm gonna go.
PEACE!
