Welp. It has been one crazy week!
{At Work} I technically have the week off. Because of recitals, I don't have to work. Since they students are all at their recitals, they can't exactly be at the lab needing my help, huh? Well. My Supervisor, Mr. Gardiner, asked me if I would sub the piano teams and piano prep classes this week. I said absolutley, seeing that I'd be making 10 dollars an hour, vs 7.25. AND it'd be eight hours. That's more money then I usually would get in a week, and its three less hours than I usually work. Total bonus. The Week started out very rough. My first class was quite the handful... but I guess everyone has those days, right? well, here's the thing. Regardless of if they happen every once in a while. It still, totally, sucks. Hahha. The week has continually got better, so that's a good thing. Then last night we had this big meeting of all the changes that are happening. Most of which are to the contract. The funny things is, that regardless of if I have a contract (Which I Don't) It still was pretty nerve wracking. But I also feel that this is one of the first times that I felt that I have seen eye to eye with the owner of my company. So, who knows. Maybe the changes are a good thing after all. :)
{House Sitting} One of my Professors, Dr. Tadehara asked me to house sit for her while her and her two kids went to Seattle. Number 1-major jealousy. :) I LOVE seattle! hahaha. Number 2- I think it is totally cool that she trusts me enough to ask me to watch her house while she is gone. So far it has been awesome. There is food for me to eat, and a really nice entertainment system. The only downside is the cat. I generally hate cats. But, wanna know something weird?? I think I'm actually starting to like this cat (Shhhh. Don't tell anyone) The only thing that I don't like about him, is that he kinda depresses me. hahaha. He is so sad that his family is gone, and he'll just stare at the door like he's waiting or them to come home. :( Sad fricken day. BUT. Plus side is that I think he is actually liking me by the second night of staying there. Today he kept walking over to me to pet him, and he'd purr when I did. :) That did make me a little happy. I've come to the conclusion that (Unlike my dog who sleeps all day and all night) this cat sleeps all day and parties all night. ha. ha ha. He likes to try and keep me awake I think. But that's okay I guess. I may as well get used to the no sleeping that occurs during the school year, now. ;)
{My House} Well, to make a longer story longer, I will tell you. I don't know if you have ever seen &/or owned a swamp cooler. But at the beginning of every summer, you need to go on your roof and fill the swamp cooler with water, yes? Okay. So we did this. And we had the swamp cooler on and it was wonderful! Until we noticed something...The roof of my parents bedroom was leaking water right onto their bed. Great. and if this weren't enough, the roof finally collapsed. Leaving the room in need of fixing. So for about 4 or 5 days now, we've had people cleaning the room, drying the walls, putting up sheetrock, painting, etc. Epic huh? One thing that I have decided through this process is that I think it's weird that a problem like this is covered by insurance, but no any other kind of floor. I.E. rain flooding your house=not covered. I still think it's bizarre. I can't get over that fact. haha
{Side Information} As most of you know (i think) I have decided to at least try out Social Work. There are many parts of it that I feel are just so me! The want to help people and to see them happy is this drive that I Have constantly. A while ago I asked my Social work Teacher that 'if I did end up doing Social Work, where would she put me' and instead of giving me an easy answer. She took me to the professional to see what he thought. Well. He asked me what population I feared the most, and I said little kids because I can't imagine what life would be like later on.. But today as I was watching tv, one of those commercials about the starving kids in Africa came on, and I almost instantly had this urge that I wanted to help them. So I don't know. Maybe I'll help little kids. But at the same time, I almost have this connection with the older population. So.. that just totally throws me out of wack. hahaha. I'm gonna be lost for a while, for sure. :)
Well.. That is all that I have to say today. Until next time!!!! :) Peace & Blessings! :)
Another part of school that I could tell you about is that Social Work is feeling really, really good. I haven't even been accepted into the program, and I'm so excited for it. I was worried for the longest time that I was just doing it because I saw how much Sandee liked it. But guess what? Sandee has to read out of this DSM book, which is a diagnosing disorders book. And I told her that I would read out loud for her. And it was SOOO interesting. I don't know what it is about it, but I find it so entertaining. It's moments like those that make me think that yes, this is for me. Which is AWESOME! :) I love that feeling!
I heard that the clipless curling irons make amazing curls! But they are so expensive, so..... I don't know if i even want to try it. If someone bought it for me, I so would. But i'm not going to spend $80 on curling irons. That's so ridiculous!!!!!! So, for now I may be sticking to my straight hair or the spiral curling iron.
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World!!! I have watched them all and they are all so awesome!!!!!! :) Scott Pilgrim is So good! I just thought of a movie that I need to put on my list. Secret Window. Have you all seen it? If not, you really should!
