Well, I am back at school after midterms and Spring Break. It seems ever the case, even when everyone has the week off, that you end up coming back to a lot of work. I am sifting through it pretty painlessly, though. I created a schedule and, while I haven't really been following it, it has given me a good idea of where I need to be when.

I started out the day with some frustration with the Residence Life and Dining Services. I made the mistake of telling my neighbor that and I think she thought I was moving out or something. I'm not moving out, at least not yet. I got my grant to work on my kids book (yeah!), so that means I have to find a way to live here over the summer. After going down to their office three times, I finally got someone and they told me that they weren't ready for me anyway. :P What can you do?

I went to my first class. My teacher had put me in charge of attendance while she was gone. It was sort of a weird experience. I expected that everyone would get the idea of what was going on and then more or less clear out. Instead, everyone was there early like they always were and everyone was curious as to what the next assignment was about. I was explaining the project and answering questions and everything. It was just weird, because I was kind of a substitute teacher and here I thought I was going to just be an attendance paper keeper!

Also, I created a band poster this break. It was pretty fun and I got it in to the guy today. It was funny because I was supposed to meet him in the Union, but I had not actually ever seen him before. It was kind of like a mop 'drop' or a blind date. It's like, "Yes, in front of the bookstore. I'll be sitting at a table with your data CD" But I actually didn't set that up. He just called my phone when he was getting close and then I was able to give it to him. I think I might go to the concert.

Then I ate lunch with a friend... and then picked up two people along the way, lol. I feel like I have to get better at the whole, "Giving my full attention to someone" thing, but I saw them walking by and I was excited to see them. You know how it is though, when you are eating with someone who is talking to other people half the time. You are thinking, "well... I am kind of finished eating but they're still talking... but not to me and..." so I'm not sure how to deal with that.

One thing I am grateful for: this isn't midterms. I barely could get to the computer then, lol.

Substitute teacher, huh? Those people don't do anything and yet they get paid a hundred bucks....
