You may be right. I may be crazy. But it just may be a lunatic you're looking for.

I remembered today why I'm taking a break from school. Not that today was bad or anything but . . . sitting all day in classes isn't nearly as much fun as it used to be. Good thing now when I do it I'm the teacher aide instead of the student. But instead today and tomorrow I'm a student. I'm in med training so that I can dispense meds to the kids at work. Today was lessons all day and then tomorrow we have the written test and the practical. I took a practice test today though and got a 98 so I'm not too worried. There was a ton of info though. So now maybe I'll have to act like some goofy people that I know that like to put initials behind their names. I'll be J. REESOR, QMAP (Qualified Medication Administration Person). Yeah not in this lifetime.
So I guess tonight I'll actually do a bit of studying - it's been a while! And if anyone needs to know any metric conversions, any of the abbreviations on their prescriptions, or anything about the proper dispensing of meds let me know!
It was a fun group of us though that were in training so that kept it interesting. We were cracking up a couple different times. I really like the people at work unfortuately it's not really like I can become better friends with a lot of them or do stuff outside of work cause . . . I don't know - that's just the vibe I get. I'll let you know if that ever changes.
I did work Saturday day and Sunday night. Saturday was great. It was my favorite staff. They are all laid back and I know them better than some of the other staff so it was a lot of fun. And the kids were in great moods too. I also got to have a really good one on one talk for like 45 minutes with one of the kids who is always in trouble and he actually managed to act appropriate the whole time. It was so awesome. I also think I'm starting to develop a favorite (which luckily work encourages that you get close to some of the kids (AKA kind of play favorites) as long as you watch out for the whole group - with all the staff that is there it leads to almost all the kids being someones favorite since they're all different.) Anyways he has huge anger problems but he's seriously like a lamb when he hangs out with me so . . .
So tonight I'm back to the parenting classes. I really hope the kids are at least a tiny bit more in control tonight than last week. Any little bit would help. Kerry (the MSW student who runs the class) and I are going to get there early to try to get the room more set-up so that things are more in control but we'll see if it works.
So it's kinda crazy cause I don't know what the weather is like anywhere else, but here it was like 60 yesterday and beautiful today and it's supposed to be like in the 50's all week. So good news. Perhaps this is God's way of cheering me up. Cause who doesn't enjoy a nice little present of good weather.
I got a library card yesterday - WOOHOO. It was exciting to me I guess. Especially since I always have these crazy ideas of things that I want to learn about. And I'm really working on actually pursuing my crazy ideas cause learning is good right. Right now the focus is reviewing my Spanish so I got some worksheets from the library. So Elizabeth when I start like sending you letters in Spanish - be prepared.
You know what I really want to know. How come with some people it is so easy to feel comfortable and others totally not? Ok one of the girls at work is one of the supervisors and she's really nice and everything but she intimidates the shit out of me. I'm always afraid she's like judging what I'm doing. But this guy that's the other supervisor is awesome and I'm not scared of him at all. And he's really nice but not really a lot more than the girl or anything. Then there's Koki. How come sometimes with boys that I really don't like (in a boyfriend or crush way) I still feel really nervous talking to. I never think of Koki that way and he's super nice and we have conversations a lot but I still can't stand any second of downtime in our conversation. It's just awkward to me for some reason. People are so confusing sometimes. That's why I like kids and dogs. They always show their true selves, thoughts, and emotions. That I can work with.
Well I better get to those kids. I'm sure some of them will be showing their true emotions tonight and I hope I'm ready for it!
