This weekend totally rocked! Well mostly just Saturday. It was Trees & Treasures- St. Mary's formal fundraiser that they have every year to raise money for Life Teen. Every year St. Mary's raises about $60-70,000 Since we don't have dances anymore, its like the next best thing! Speaking of dances, I heard some amusing news about Jesuit's formal. It really cracks me up when people who have graduated or don't go to school there come back to things like that and hang around with all the undergrads. I mean, I'm not saying that I'm better than them- well actually wait...I'm waaaaaay better because I actually have a life that revolves around people my own age! I mean, I loved Jesuit but please, those days are way over. No offense to Sher and a few others who are actually mature but I think it's just super sad when people have to go back and try to "relive" college all over again. I guess it's people who just don't have any real friends though. It's certainly easier to be accepted by people younger than you than to actually go out and make friends in the real world.
But anyway... now that the hillarity of losers has passed, I'm so glad that I've finally come to so much self-realization about myself and about people in general. I guess it goes with the territory of being a counselor. You hear alllll kinds of things and occasionally something a client says will totally resonate and make you think, wow I do that sometimes... look at it how it looks, sounds, etc. Tomorrow is the last of my clients and honestly I'm looking forward to the break from all the paperwork and hassles of leap students who skip their appointments. Not to mention I have a sinus infection and feel kinda crappy. I guess its the price to pay for looking good on Saturday night... my co worker Brian did a total double take when I stopped by the store before T&T. It was satisfying to say the least because I KNEW how good I looked! ;)
