(no subject)
My life's a disaster (no-- really.), but the following things are going well:
-- I'm getting WRAP-trained (Wellness Recovery Action Plan) at work and I'm super amped about it. Like SUPER AMPED.
-- I finally got my student for my literacy volunteering! WOO! She's 38 and working toward becoming bilingual (but is no longer considered ESL [or ESOL, to be PC about it]). I'll know more after the holidays! Wooo!
-- A handful of Rider kids/ Writer's Block kids were acknowledged by name in Hess's book and I was one of them. My reaction being: "... wha?" He was acknowledging the students who taught him something about writing, which made me feel even more fantastic about it. I have a pretty terrific amount of respect for the guy-- so it meant an awful lot to me that I'm in there. And it certainly wasn't something I saw coming haha. Pretty badass. It made me feel really good. On top of that, I've been looking forward to reading it since he mentioned that he was re-releasing it, so just having my hands on it is neat. Ha it was in Barnes and Noble, which is awesome.
-- Been spending time with the mom and little brother, which is nice.
-- Hanging with Val and Kate tomorrow and Kris7ian and jessdecina (who recently was offered a fantastic job!) this weekend! yay!
