week in review

friday night. listening to my emo kimya dawson station on pandora. my gut feels weird. gee, maybe its cuz my after school snack was; a piece of homemade marionberry pie, a raw carrot dipped in miso and a few heaping spoonfuls of ricotta cheese. hmmm, someone needs to go grocery shopping..

anywayz, my work week is over. it was back to a different school everyday after being at the same school for 2 weeks. 

tuesday i ended up going back to the same school i had been at before. i was working with a different student and got to meet the nice young lad who took my place. it was a pretty chill day, the teacher was also a sub, we went on tree walk in the afternoon. after school i drove all the way to southwest to make it to a chiropractic appt. that i found out (after i got there) was supposed to be the next day. oops. 

wednesday was hectic. i was in a behavior classroom at a school i had never been at before. turns out that the 2 other adults (the teacher and the other para) were also both subs. turns out, the kids in the class have had subs for more days this school year than they have had days with their regular teacher. needless to say, things were intense. we all did the best we could and made it through the day mostly unscathed. i was tired and cranky by the end of the day. tired of being the new kid, of not knowing when my lunch break is or what i am getting myself into every single day..

thursday was a bit better. i was in another behavior room, but it was at a school i had been at a couple times before. there is one person that works there that i read as being queer. we haven't said much to each other, but i think they are cute and its always fun to have a work-crush-for-a-day..

today (friday) i was at a school that i have been to many times before. its a life skills class and it is pretty much the same group of kids as last year. its a really good group of kids and the adults in the room are fun and overall it was a pretty good day..

so now here i am, with a hopefully sunny weekend ahead of me. and next week is my birthday. my mom is flying here on my birthday (thursday). we are going to have a dinner party at a friend's house that evening and then head to the farm i worked at all summer on friday. 

i might have found a place to live. moving sometime in november. and i think i am going to vancouver at the end of october for a few days. 

yeah for adventures!
