I’m not sure what posesses me to post when I should be leaving.
Yesterday was a good day. The kids were awesome at school. Had a few really redeeming interactions with some of them. One who is having trouble with his school work and thinks hes stupid. But we’ve been working together and he really has started to trust that I’m here to help not to tell him what to do, or make him feel even more stupid. Also had an interesting chat about autism with some 7th graders. I like the school I work for, they’re really good about getting things out in the open and creating a safe forum for kids to understand diversity. I also really like the fact that kids are aware of homosexuality and correct one another when someone uses Gay as an adjective. I had a kid spell out G-A-Y to me the other day and I had to explain to him that it wasn’t a bad word that he couldn’t say. Hmmm 2003.
I had scrapple this morning. For those of you who don’t know what that is… you probably don’t want to. Let’s just say I’ve had my share of unspeakable pig parts for a month or so…..
Yesterday shit hit the fan with the postcards I designed for an upcoming dance performance. Apparently a name was missing when the final 2000 cards arrived. I freaked initially praying it wasn’t my fault… and knowing that I could be one of only two people at fault for wasting 300$ of a graduate students hard earned pay. So I crossed my fingers and rushed home on the T
(where I talked to a dude and we exchanged IM names because hes a geek (me too) and I’m promoting the Ngage in coming months, and I talked to him just now on AIM and he spelled my name correctly which is strange cause no one spells my name correctly. So I think he searched my screenname on google and came up with my website. So I searched his. I’m pretty sure his name is Kevin Hammer, a berekley attendee… in the past 98? 99? when he was 21 now hes probably 25, possibly not a graduate, and he plays guitar for a heavy metal band in Boston. So there. HAh. I am google queen. ) ,
dug through the trash for the list of dancers and the name wasn’t on it! I mean… alright.. it still sucks that its wrong, but I’m just really glad that I don’t have to pay 300$ to fix something that I did as a portfolio piece and not a comissioned work.
So I drank some wine and celebrated.
Then I thought alot. I didn’t come to any conclusions.
Sometimes its hard to know whats best for oneself….
