well, I sure hate being sick. it really really sucks. I've been soooo drugged up for the last four days, it is a wonder that I've functioned at all. I woke up thursday morning with wickedly swollen glands - had I had tonsils, they would have been mighty big! with the nose blowing and coughing, the last few days have crawled by at an alarmingly slow rate - not that I've been able to slow down. on thursday I was able to chill during the day, but I had my first painting class at six fifteen, and then I went to apt.207's lovely potluck. it was really nice and I am glad that I went. there were a large number of people that I didnt know at all, and then a few regulars. ally and I had a great bonding moment with Kia - we lauged about dead baby jokes and brown trouts (apparently that is slang for a 100$bill, who knew?!). kia invited us to her birthday party next friday. dan was there too, dustin's roommate. he kept checking me out - he wanted me to come out with them afterwards, I was much too sick for that though. he is ok. I definitly don't like him as much as jihaari. it is going to be really difficult to find someone I like as much as him. whatever. life will provide.
on friday I went for my first day of training for my monitoring job. I found out that I am actually working in a juvinile detention centre with teenage girls instead of in a primary school. it is really really intense. I was seriously worried afterwards on friday. I couldnt beleive that they didnt warn me that I could be placed in a situation like that. that was never an option and then suddenly I am there. it is really intense. I toured the school and saw where they live and the class rooms and I met the staff and some students. well, they arent really students because half of them dont really follow the curriculum. we are just there to do school-like activities, but they don't get marked or anything for it. and the clientel changes a lot too. because these are girls off the street, they dont stay in this school for very long. it is very very intense.
the facilities are beautiful. very clean, well kept, lots of decoration in the classrooms, nice commen space for the girls. it is going to be a very interesting experience. eek.
after today's training session, that was very helpful for activities and such, I went to the creperie for a shift. during my shift I served a group of 30 who were celebrating a 16th birthday. it was super lame. =-P very very retarded. I just wanted them to go to hell. I was gulping buckley's cough medicine throughout the whole shift and praying for it to end. thank god I don't work today.
I think that my schedual will be too heavy with five classes, and two jobs. I am going to drop one of my classes. my monday night (8h30-10h45) antro class is going to be taken off my list. that is just a ridiculous time to have a class. I do not want to be at school that late. it doesnt make sense. I think it's ok to do that because I have to stay another semester anyways - plus, those general education classes are easy to do over the summer. so, good bye night class!! ah, I feel better about life already!
now I must go and start on my huge pile of homework!! yikes, time to get organized!
