I'm now 22.
Right now, my theme song is Twenty-two by Millencolin I guess.
I'm so far from the goals that I have in life. Sometimes I wish that I could rush things along so that I'll be exactly where I want to be, but then I realize that really I should be enjoying where I am now. Even if I feel like I'm so far away from everything because in the blink of an eye, I'm going to be Old and wish that I were young again.
I'm currently bored. Soooo Bored. I am finished school for the day and have no homework. My internet isn't working. No one in our house has internet except for Colin, so we keep stealing his.
Today we're at eight. I couldn't be happier. For the first time in my life I can actually feel it! It's amazing, yet scary because it could very well not be mutual.
Anywho. Here's hoping that today is a good one!!
Placement tomorrow!!!!
I Looooove my placement more than anything in the world. The people who I support there are all amazing. I'm hoping that I'm allowed to take pictures of some of the people. They all have developmental disabilities and they make me smile for the whole 6 hours that I am there!!!!
The other day, I took one guy to Blockbuster to rent a movie for our Friday afternoon flick. It was all fun and games when we were on our way there, but on the way back it was all uphill. The guy that I was with is in a wheelchair and is completely non-verbal, so he doesn't talk and doesn't really communicate at all, but I get him laughing so hard on our walks. I had to take about 5 breaks on the way up the hill because I was getting tired. (Wheelchairs aren't light!!!) He found that rather amusing that I had to keep stopping because I was out of breath. It kind of made me sad when we walked by a school and some kid said, "what's wrong with that guy?!" and I said "Nothing is wrong with him, he is perfect!" haha I didn't even know what to say! So I kind of felt bad for the guy I was walking because he knows what people are saying to him, he just can't say what he is feeling. I didn't really get mad at the kids though because children don't know any different about the different kinds of people out there.
So, I could probably go on and on and on about my placement, but it would be pages and pages of stuff!!!
I'll end it here...
