Spring Break

Thanks everyone for all the nice comments. As some of you may have noticed, I did post a topic about my memory loss. I really wanted to make an appointment with my neuro but I have been so busy! I had 7 midterms last week. I barely got 15 hours of sleep the whole week! I spent last weekend catching up on sleep (a good 13 hours!) Monday I had to get my wisdom teeth removed so in between naps I was busy spitting out blood for 2 days. Then finally when everything clotted up, I had to go volunteer for this agency called Find-a-Friend. I will need an internship this summer so I wanted to volunteer at my #1 choice to see if I would like it there. I did have fun but I was so exhausted! Find-a-Friend is a non profit organization that helps children of incarcerated parents, juveniles at risk, and kids who have behavior or academic problems. So I basically spent the last 2 days making lunches, monitoring the playground, and doing fractions and similes worksheets. I've never really liked kids but I actually had fun. In fact, on the first day, a little boy picked me flowers and today 2 boys were fighting over me. I think they both had a crush on me. One of them asked me if I had a husband! But I do feel proud of myself because I worked just like the other mentors and no one not even the kids said anything about my hand or the way I walk. I guess they seen that I got the job done and thats all that mattered. Did I mention I have As for all of my classes? I was so stressed but I did it again! Im also proud of myself because I got everyone on the Chancellor's List a special dinner. Usually people on the chancellor's list don't get anything but ever since I made the list, I always ask the Chancellor what I get for being on the list and he usually responds with something like "a good paying job" or "good recognition" but after the last time I seen him, I guess he finally got tired of me mentioning it and decided to give us something we deserve. So on March 27th, I will be eating a special dinner with my fellow scholars and they owe it all to me! You never get a raise or promotion if you don't speak up right? Im glad I spoke up! Oh yeah my optometrist filled out my medical form for the dmv and he gave me a good report. Tomorrow I start OT again so I will schedule my driver evaluation. I heard the evaluation takes 3 hours. I wonder what I should do to get prepared?

Congrats on the A's Young lady!!!!! I had no doubt though. Best of luck working with the find-a-friend program. I'm sure you are making a difference for those kids. Glad you'll be having a special dinner with your other scholars - you've stepped up and are noticed (in a very very good way).
