A nice long weekend!
So I haven't quite figured out why I am so tired. Since my internship started, I haven't felt extremely overwhelmed or stressed out. I have been getting good sleep...although maybe not enough of it. That could be my problem. On the nights that I have to go to the school I probably get about 6 or 7. Not absolutely horrible. But when you factor in that I spend an entire day with 25 6 and 7 year olds, it can be kind of exhausting. Maybe my problem would be solved if I went to bed a little earlier. Something to think about. It has been such a nice weekend...a little on the hot and humid side, but I guess I can not control the weather. Today my mom and I went to a arts and craft show in South Haven. Can you believe it, that was the first time I have been to South Haven all summer. I swear Marci, i don't go to South Haven near as often as I did when you lived here. Oh those were the good ole days. Anywho, I got a cool new bracelet. The main color in all of hte beads is black and then there is a different design on each bead in either pink, blue, purple, or green. It is pretty cool!
My internship is going quite well. There is one kid though, taht makes the day incredibly long sometimes. He has already tired to flood the boys bathroom twice...not once...TWICE...in the same week. He has already been suspended one day because he kicks, hits, and bites. On Thursday, he went around the whole day saying "school sucks" and flipping everyone off. Oh, and did I mention...he is SIX years old. His parents think he is perfectly fine. As hard as it is to admit that your child may have some type of disability, you owe it to your child to get them help. He needs to see a counselor, or something. He needs help because if he doesn't, he is going to end up in juvie by the time he is 12. It is a very sad situation. The teacher told me that I probably will not have a student worse than this. She said in all of her years teaching, she has only had one student who even compares to this kid. One good thing about him being in this class...I get to see how they react and deal with these types of situations.
Tonight I have made it a movie night. First I watched Never Been Kissed, then Head Over Heels, and finally Someone Like You. Pretty much all cute love stories. Hey, sometimes you gotta do what you gotta do.
After I graduate, I had thought about putting my resume into schools in Florida because they need teachers down there. Well, after Hurricane Frances...I am just saying NO! I don't think I could handle something like that. I wouldn't have the slighest clue on what to do in a hurricane, plus the fact that everything is being destroyed. One of my half brothers and his wife and two children live around the Orlando area. I hope everything is ok. Weather can be scary.
Well, I think I am going to sign off right now...maybe I will try and catch up on a little sleep! Night all.
