It's Friday anyways
Apparently for medical reasons, one of my neighbors is transfering from Earlham College.
This girl isn't too much of a socialite and I could tell that she doesn't feel like she fits in at Earlham, but I have always been nice to her and all of my neighbors.
SO today her dad showed up to help her move out and last night her friends threw her a little party. However, we are in Earlham, and I think that other people should be in on the fact that she is moving out and I know that everyone would be really supportive and help her out.
I continue bugging everyone so that someone will tell me what's going on (even though I already know) because I think that it's ridiculous that I talk to (and am friends with a couple) every single one of these people and none of them want to fill me in.
So I just walked in to the girl's room (because I heard a lot of chatting and laughing) and asked them what was up and they all got quiet. Luckily, I am not dumb enough to allow that to make me feel awkward or left out, so I proceeded to make conversation with the girl that is leaving. Apparently she lives in Eugene, OR, and somehow I never knew this.
I shouldn't be bothered by this, but it seems to me that everyone is really cool and accepting at Earlham, and I really want these people to see that and not just seclude themselves.
Also, I am going to be a Reading Coach at an Elementary School as part of my work study. It sounds really exciting, but during the training we were told that students who are diagnosed with ADD are not allowed to be in the program, which only encourages the fact that ADD does not exist!!!!
If you're diagnosed with ADD shouldn't you be given more one on one education than other kids????
Instead, kids who are diagnosed with ADD are given pill after pill in hopes of getting rid of their short attention span.
How ridiculous.
