I took the day off today. I'm ecstatic. I have cheer practice later, as I do every day at this point with the competition less than 2wks away. I slept 12 hours last night and I'm thinking of camping on the couch for a few more hours (so I can study of course for my counseling exam). I totally feel like this break is deserving. Yesterday I had the most dramatic counseling experience of my life. A student cut herself (badly at that) in the bathroom and I was the only one on "duty", so to speak, when she came into our office. I had to respond and report and be there for her. The ordeal was hours long but I feel confident that things went the way they should. And though it really blows that this happened, I'm glad that I was there and that I knew what to do. It's nice to know that you can really pull thru in a crisis. I hope this helps my confidence in my career. On top of that I had Butler school last night and I'll tell you that it went pretty well. When all else is chaotic in my world it's nice to know that my career/educational path is set and good.
No other fantastic news really. I've choreographed three dances in the past week and I've been teaching them a TON. I'm feeling in good shape and I love doing it, I just can't wait for the competition to be over. 6am practices are ridiculous, but necessary. I want to go back to basketball chants and worrying about hanging signs in the gym. Less stress for sure. Thank God my girls rock. Nuff said.
So I missed over half of the game on Monday night. I fell asleep on the couch at 7:45, woke up around 9, fell back asleep and woke up around 10, fell back asleep and finally went to my bed around 11. Loser. But sleep is feeling so nice lately and I'm feeling way more energized and happy. That may be the key to a happy life friends...
So I'd like to plan a trip to Chicago sometime in December. Brad, Greg, any one else busy in December? Let me know...
