T minus one week.
Things are actually pretty good, considering...let's take a look at life...
*school:what, both my classes? Yeah, they're fine I guess. My Lit teacher wishes I were dead, but, hey, nothing's new. I'm gonna half to work my ass off in that class, which I am. But, it doesn't seem to be paying off at all. Oh well. Calc isn't too bad. I mean, the class seems like it's freaking forever, but, I only have 2 actualy academic classes, so, I can't actually complain.
*internship: I love my internship. Some days I have to do shit like xeroxing and whatever, but, you have to start somewhere. And I do actually get to do a lot with the kids. They are so cute. In 6th period, there are 3 kids, and there are 4 in 7th period. Signing is one of the few things in my life I'm honestly pretty comfortable with and think I'm good at, so, it's nice to be able to use it everyday. And with multiple people, especially people who actually need it. All of these kids are signing, and most of them don't read lips. So, it really forces me to sign every word, and clearly. And I'm starting to improve on reading other people's signs, which is really something I need to be working on. One of the kids has a physical handicap, so he is definitely the most challenging. But, even the adult aids who are deaf are a bit difficult for me. I just have absolutely no practice in that. But, it is improving, so. I'm still waiting for my child development teacher to come visit me there. Should be interesting, I guess.
*SP2K4/Splanning: We have less than one week until halls go up. Fuck that. We have less than one week till halls are judged. At this time next Thursday, I will already know how we placed. I'll be at HF while the rest of the kids are guarding at float. Then I'll go to the float when I get back to Rockville and help 'em out, of course. Drama and stress is increasing, but, people are starting to realize that shit has to happen, or else we're gonna go to wootton with a couple of murals and a frame on a flatbed. I'm really proud of the 20 of us. No, not everyone is there everyday. I can count the people who are there the majority of the time on one hand. But, still. THere are so many people who say "yeah, I'll come. Yeah, I'd love to." That's shit. We've had 3 non-splanners show up. Yeah, I know it would be difficult if you applied and didn't make it. But, apparently we made it for a reason. The dedication has to be there. Homecoming is not a leadership event, it's a class event. I'm not saying that we don't "run" it or whatever, but, it's not supposed to be only 20 kids working on. We're used to having about 5 times that helping us out, and we're dominating it. I'm so impressed. Good work, guys. And, I'm insanely psyched for the events that I'm organizing. I'll talk more about that as they approach, I'm sure.
*SAT's: They're saturday. I haven't studied at all. SHould be interesting, I guess. That's all.
*Homecoming: As of now, the group consists of me, Taylor, Leahl, and her date, Bobby. I think we'll have fun. I need to stop concentrating on hall and float for a second so that I can figure out the whole dinner thing and everything. I did get a new dress, though. I'm excited. Really excited. It'll be fun to have a stress-less night to chill. I'm sure I'll especially be feeling this way after next week.
*Work:there isn't much of it. Last Saturday was awesome. Me and some of the girls I work with who I'm never scheduled with put in a request to work together. And there were awesome doctors and receptionists working. Best day I've had at work in awhile. Good times. I don't work again till the 26th...haha.
*The Fam:grrrr. Yes, but, one grrr out of all these things isnt too bad. And it was just a baby grrr. My mom's just bothering me in the way that she handles some situations and the way that she "Jokes" with me about certain things. Whatever though, its nto as bad as it has been.
*I got to go to sign class tonight for the first time in forever. yay!
That's really all. Right now my life is school, intern, splan, sleep, get up, and do it all again.
Hope you all are doing well...please all seniors participate in spirit week next week....if we lose, it will be a complete embarassment. And we're too good to lose...we used to dominate this shit...and now? not so much...let's just try!love you guys!
Take care, all...
