Just thought I'd update

So today at work was probably one of the most tiring I've had so far. I've started to get restraint training so now when there is a promblem with one of the kids I get to help. This is really helpful now that we have started to get some new teachers for the summer program but today it was like crazy. Since they are in summer school they come in at 8:30 and leave at 1:00. So during this they have two recesses. At the end of first recess Andrew, a wicked cute little six year old kicked out at another kid. So I pulled him out and he was just sitting down starting to calm down when the other kid came over and started teasing him. At this Andrew litterally started to like attack the other kid so I had to carry him back to class. Luckily after he cried for a few minutes he calmed down and was fine. Then at the end of second recess two of the kids hit each other which means they automatically lose their prize. So they came inside by themselves and then I was writing it down on their charts when Enrique flipped out because he didn't want to lose his prize and we had to send the rest of the class out of the room while we kept him in the room because he was throwing chairs. Then he started hitting and kicking so we had to restrain him which just means we gently hold them down until they are calm enough. Enrique is really strong for a kid his size and it was really hot in the time out room so this was really tiring and my arm was really bothering me afterwards. I think its ok now so thats good. So I am like about to go crash and go to sleep because I don't have work on Fridays(summer school) so I am going into Cambridge tommorow to bother people at my dad's office. I really want to see these like Sony dog things they are working with and anything else thats cool. Also my dad's division got moved to a seperate building so my dad's the boss for everyone on the floor which is always fun. Plus they are talking about recruiting CMU students so my dad will probably come down to school next year to one of the like career fair things which will be fun. So anyway i'm wicked tired and I am like re-reading some of the Harry Potter books before the next one comes out on Saturday so I should probably stop writing because I will probably keep myself up reading and I have to leave at 6:30 tommorow.
