Every night the past week I have been at Pleasant View working in my room. In a perfect world I would go to school at 8:00 and leave at 3:30, after an hour-hour and a half lunch break. In all actuality, I've been hitting the school at 8:00 and not making it back home until anywhere between 6 and 8! Why do I do this to myself? I dunno. Nana has been up about three or four times this year, Renee once, and Mom twice. My assistant even came in a helped the day I stayed particularly late. I think I like the set up more this year . . . and I hope that I can deal with it and NOT change it.
I think the worst part is that I actually went today, on a Saturday. WHAT? Yes. I know. I stayed for over 3.5 hours too! Just going through junk. Hopefully this won't happen next year because I'll pack my own stuff!
Last night was a pretty good night. I finally dragged myself out of school by 6:00 so I could meet JD for dinner at Wasabi at 7:00. After a delightfully filling dinner we walked down to the Starbucks near Falls Park. We sat and talked for quite some time and have decided that when I move in September we're going to use my "complimentary tennis lessons" and learn how to play together. Hopefully he'll be a friend to hang with at the least! After JD headed home I made my way to the Cazbah (alone, yes) to meet up with Michael and his entourage of homosexuals. :) They were all pretty nice, and pretty hot too I must admit! :) Anyway, after spending a few with them I was surprised to see a familiar face come strolling in . . . .
I gave Michael a number and forced him to call it . . . and I was right! Kip (Brock) had waltzed into the same bar I was in! How random! He came over and spoke and told me that he intended to call me Saturday (tonight). I told him that was fine and we all parted ways. At this time I was about to fall out from exhaustion so I headed home.
Kip DID call tonight, but I never got back to him. I'm just worn out. Luckily I can report that my fatigue/laziness is NOT pain induced. My back is doing fine, I'm just TIRED. Maybe because it's been so long since I've been so active? Or maybe the nearly 10-12 hour days are just getting to me in general!
Tomorrow is a rare day out of the classroom. I have to go to Union though because I have to drop off my car. Gotta get the bumper fixed. Damn steel trucks when all I have is a plastic bumper! I won't get into details. At any rate, I'm losing my car (and what money I DON'T have) tomorrow. Great.
And then Monday we get to "sleep in" until 9:00-9:30ish. Yay Mr. Adams! We have our first TEAM meeting at 10:00 at GCO on Monday. I hope I have nice/normal/SANE people as evaluators. I just don't want them to be perfectionists that expect me to be great, especially after only one semester of experience! Mrs. Hendricks informed me that she told Mr. Adams she thought it'd do me good to have a quasi-mentor because of my experience level but obviously he didn't agree. I guess I can taake that as a compliment, even though I wouldn't MIND having a mentor? At any rate, she told me to come to her anytime, and I might just do that!
For now? Sleep. Yes, on a "Saturday."
