Schools Over...
And not a moment too soon!
The non-trad families teacher changed my grade to a 76. I can't complain, because I genuinely did not complete the assignment in the 4th-grade writing style that she wanted us to use. I had a solid A in her class, but this assignment was weighted very high. I let her get the upper hand, and I humbly admit defeat. I don't plan on losing sleep over the situation. :)
I'm pretty sure I'm getting a B in Spanish, unless she's nice and decides to bump it up to an A because she's passing all the failing people! I have a B average without any of her "help", so we'll see.
I needed an 86 on my Astronomy Final to get a B in that class. I totally admit I blew that class off...rarely went...relied on friends notes, etc. I think I just may have pulled it off though. I feel pretty confident about the final. It'll be close!
Learning and Memory is also up in the air. I know I got an A or a B. I'm leaning towards a B because I got a C on one of the exams, but I did really well on everything else, so I guess it'll depend on my Final.

I cant believe that family is flying down here this Tuesday! I asked at work if I can bring my mom and my friend S. over to the school to show them around, and he OK'd it. I can hardly wait for them to meet the kids. lol
The autistic girl has just been having brutal behavior ever since her home visit with her mom. I really thought she was going to attack me today. I had picked up with her while she was out in the quiet room, and said I didn't mind being alone with her. I got her calm pretty quickly, and then like 30 minutes later (she had to stay out there for 2 hours) she randomly bites her arm, shoulder, and acts like shes going to run out of the room. I have to play it cool but in reality I'm scared shitless because I had no rubber gloves with me (she has open wounds)and I thought i was going to have to restrain her by myself! lol Note to me: get Hep Vaccine!!!!!!! I think I feigned confidence and mentioned something about her losing her "tent" (a bedtime reward) if she tries to leave the room. She then attempted to punch (swat, really) me (you know how she NEVER hits me..this is the second attempt this week now!! lol) but I dodged it and she just sat back down in the room and started crying. She finally calmed down and said "I'm sorry I tried to jack you up". I think I just said... "thats ok, don't do it again". lol She was able to go back inside, but had more trouble at dinner. I told her she needed to move her chair over because she was practially in my lap. She didn't like me telling her anything having to do with "body space", so she smashed her fist into a plastic cup of salad dressing, splattering it everywhere, and then runs down the hall, banging on the walls. Another staff member guy was with us, and we walked out to the QR again with her. Nothing major happened in there this time, and she just stayed there until bed time because it was her third time in there today (the other 2 incidents didnt happen with me; I was just helping them out). It was definitely an interesting night.
It's been nice since J. changed his hours so we're working 4 or so hours together a couple of nights a week, as aposed to having the exact opposite schedules. It makes those last few hours go by a little faster. :)
Now for some random pictures because I've been slacking on the photo-front lately...

Ok, time to go to sleep so I can get up bright and early.
