Well, I have been repremanded at least three times for not posting lately so here it is:
Work is going great. The things that are routine are with all the different little events that working with 3000 students can bring. Age 14-18 is an amazing age. I don't remember being all THAT confident. Whew, amazing. Amongst all the entitled, over indulged, don't have a clue students that pass by my desk, there are the few diamonds in the rough that really make it all worth it.
There is one girl who moved here last year and enrolled mid-year. She didn't know a soul and was apprehensive and worried about making friends. I suggested she audtion for the show last year... oops, she didn't pass the audition. I felt terrible. Well, guess who showed up again this year? Yep it was her again. I was so nervous for her. But what do you know she improved!! She was not amazing or even very good. But she was giving it her all and I just had to cast her. She is doing just fine, even great in so many ways. She is so happy and has all kinds of friends. I moved to a new high school the end of my sophomore year and I know how hard it is to be new in a strange place. It is so fun to see her self esteem soar at each rehearsal. I am so excited for her to have her first performance under her belt. She is going to love it. Theater can be a weird place to be, but if you can get past the strange freak shows backstage; what it can do for people can be amazing. Hooray!
Today I tackled a project I've been avoiding far to long and got it DONE! One small step in the right direction. I still have mountains of doing and fixing to do, but for the moment I'm resting on that small laurel. :)
AND I'm sticking to my budget I set two weeks ago... Ugh! Why is this so hard for me? I was meant to have exactly what I want when I want it, right? Why do I hear my mom's voice gently telling me to be patient? Ok, I hear you! Thanks.
Well that's about it for now, or I should say that's enough for now. Maybe I need to take a picture of me at work so I'll have something to post along with all the words... Till next time---this is it!
Look at Those Cheeks!!

Hi. I didn't mean to sound reprimandish. I just missed you posting. That's what you get when a blog addict frequents your blog. Hee, hee. I loved hearing about your work, and the new girl. So glad she found some fun friends. And YAY for your completed project. Alas, I have all the knowledge and none of the required discipline at the moment. Something always interrupts, or rather, I look for things to interrupt. I need to be better. What project did you tackle?
