Well there hasn't been much going on here lately. Except trying to juggle full-time work, full-time school and a home life. I recently asked work if I could only work 4 days since it is the last couple weeks of school and I'll have all my exams and papers due. They said it was fine and so this week I was suppose to have Tuesday - Thursday off but on Tuesday I had to go to the First Aid training and I guess 2 of the other 4 people who was suppose to work that day called in so when I started watching a video in order to drive the huge vans a lady came up and asked me to work. :P I agreed but my test I had the next morning really suffered the consequences. OH it was really funny though at the end of the shift when my supervisor found another person who knows my dad really well. He has found 2 this week alone. Funny huh. It seems like they pop out of the snow like daisies.
Now that I'm getting into the swing of things I will tell you what happens on a 3-11 shift. Once the kids get out of school we have roll call and make sure all the girls are there and we have the level 2-5 in the lodge or out in the sun while the level 1's either hike or clean out the vans. Now that it is getting warmer they will probably start going out and pulling weeds. That happens from 3ish - 5 and at 5 we have dinner. What is awesome is that the staff eats with the students and it is FREE! YAY, I've worked at places that even if there is left overs they would make you pay 2-5 buck per meal. LAME but here it is free and a lot of it is homemade. After dinner the girls clean the lodge and at 6 depending on the staff and weather we will separate the levels. Level 1 will be either in the level one room or out cleaning something while level 2-5 are watching movies or doing more exciting and fun activities. At 9 we clean up and whoever needs meds gets them and by 9 30 we are out by the cabins and the kids get ready for bed and by 10:15 it is lights out and we check on the girls every so often and wait for the over night shift and head up to make sure everything is charted if needed and once all is well we go home. It makes for a long day but it is really satisfying when the girls have fun and you see them being happy. I'm glad that I can be there to help out, even though there is still A LOT more for me to learn I'll eventually get there.
Oh I guess I could totally talk about my birthday that was this week!! I am now 23 and I still feel like I'm a 18-20 yr old. But anyway I asked for the day off of work because I really didn't want to deal with bratty / dramatic teenage girls. So Sky and I went to church and after we took the dogs and went up into the hills for a nice hike. It was enjoyable because the weather was around 70.
On Saturday at work Gina (coworker) and I took 5 girls up into the hills just south of Koosharem and built a fire and cooked hamburgers and roasted marshmallows. It was alot of fun and I think the girls had fun as well. It was a awesome start to my birthday weekend. When I got home Skyeler had some cake and ice cream for me and that night we went to dinner with Mom and Tom.
Needless to say that Skyeler spoiled me and just made the whole weekend an enjoyable one. I really appreciate all he does for me.
Now if I can just keep motivated long enough to get all my homework done before the end of the semester!
