Hey ya'll! Hopefully I'm not infectious any more, but I think I'm getting a rash from the meds. Oh well, I feel really well and that's all that matters :) I hope you all are well too! Not much is goin' on here. I had almost my last day of work on Friday or at least my last day of summer work...then I'm off til Wednesday. Random- I just noticed that both of my calendars are still on June...how sad, it is now August...and my room is also a mess! I'm either really neat or really mess...now is my messy phase.
Like everything that could happen pretty much did happpen on our last day. I had to switch shifts with Bekah and open at 6am because she didn't have a key, which wasn't her fault. Then I was supposed to stay until 5pm, but I got to leave at like 2:30 or so. The kids were pretty crazy as usual...I did a lot of yelling, which is sad. We were trying to organize it so they could have icecream and watch movies in the afternoon but they were making it hard. At first I took some outside and they tried to hide behind the dumpsters. Then a speaker came to talk about drugs...let's just say of the 50-something kids, 20-something had to write sentences, which looked bad when my boss came in. Then we got them calmed down for lunch but I had to start making a no-icecream, no-movie list when they wouldn't sit and eat...arggh. Oh, I also had to clean poo off of the floor...I think we have a little boy with a problem. But, I just can't believe that none of the kids had mentioned the poo, it had apparently been there a while. Anyhow, I got to supervise the ones who made the list after lunch.
They were going to go outside and pick up trash while everyone else watched movies...but, then (exciting pause) one of the kids was helping another teacher take out trash and he got a really bad gash on his leg from a pickle jar. He was freaking out and was bleeding pretty bad...thankfully I didn't see it until it stopped gushing. I had to call his mom though and she couldn't get off work so his grandma called and asked if we could wrap it up for a couple of hours! We were like...uhh, no. It ended up not being too by the time she showed up an hour later. I felt sorry for him even though he had been a smart-elic to me, he is a good kid. Poor thing, hopefully he's okay. Earlier that day, I had a kid who had had stomach surgery get hit with a pool ball in the stomach (on accident), but he was okay. scary stuff
So my day ended with a bang. I did feel like I had accomplished something though because I took all of the naughty ones in a room and made them be still and discuss what they had done wrong before I let them have fun. I was still not strick enough, but I was surprised how well they know the rules that they continuously break...oh well, no more complaining. It was a good summer with lots of memorable, valuable experiences, frustrations, and well just plain stuff of life.
Gosh, I'm rambling...but I'm not done yet and I don't care if anyone choses to read this. On Saturday I went for a long run that included this hill that I did not know was so steep...crazy...I was pratically crawling up it...sad, I know. So, I'm a bit sore but it was worth it. Then I went shopping with my mom!! We have so much fun together...oh yeah, on Friday we made cookies and hung out. Anyways, I got some crop pants and some shirts and other stuff...today I've been packing all of my fav. clothes for school. I'm still a little unsure about my new stuff. I can't decide whether to get clothes to big to conceal my butt or clothes that fit and make it stick out...I know, it is an earth shattering problem.
I finally got to see Zak last night after a whole week. We had fun just hanging out and we went to Shakespeare on the Square...downtown Knoxville is so pretty in the evening. Today I went to church and ate lunch with my family which was a treat...I love them so much, but there was a bit of fighting involved between me and my brother. When you are in a family like mine where everyone makes fun of each other all the time...which I like...sometimes, feelings are bound to get hurt. Anyway, I went to youth tonight, then ran a bit. At youth we did something that my MC pals should try. We wrote letters to each other that you can read whenever you need a boost.
Well, I'm done...finally.
