i will follow you

For the past few months I've been wanting to start a blog. I'm a fairly poor writer but there is just something about jotting my thoughts down that makes my day ten times better. There is also something about biology 112 that seems to always get my mind in a knotted mess. In the past 2 months, I can definitely say that I've grown up, a lot. I've been forced to look at things with a whole new perspective. I've been drawn towards and pulled apart from certain individuals, all who have influenced the individual that I am now.

I am going to be a 5th grade science teacher, maybe. My co-workers feel that I seem more like the person who would teach at the high school level. Maybe I can relate to the average high school student more than the 5th grader who still has to be asked whether or not he or she brushed their teeth that day by their parents. After working with certain children at work this semester, I have a new profound admiration for those who work with kids who have behavioral issues.

Word of the Wise: phones should be left on during hours of rest. You never know what kind of event or emergency is going to take place in which you are needed. This occasion has occurred three times to me in the past 36 hours.

I had the honor to dress up as Hamm (the piggy bank from Toy Story) at Kids Klub today. I was a little disappointed in my costume but the kids loved it and they knew exactly who I was dressed up to be. I would call that a success. Some kids know exactly how to take that terrible day that you're having and turn it into the most wonderful beautiful day of all. Others, on the other hand, sometimes do the exact opposite. And as Krista would say "I'm not going to follow any of this new day crap. No choices! They'll do what I say and when I say it!".

signing off,

this is not a blog ... just random stories from a random person.
