| so, Friday was an Insane day...three of my six team members called off from work, which left me and two others to do the work that six usually do. it was draining and exhausting, but good...i took one of my members on a ride to Dunkin Donuts and while driving, he noticed the music i had on in my car...Trouble by Ray LaMontagne. He is a near 300 lb black man who has a history of drug abuse and severe mental illness, but he's really like a teddy bear and is working on being a good family man and remaining stable. since the first day i worked with him, i could tell he feels comfortable talking to me--but not in a weird, inappropriate, transference or sexual kind of way, so it's good. anyway, the 'soul' in Ray LaMontagne was noticed by him and he said a few different times that he enjoyed the music. so, i gave him the CD, as i can just burn another copy, and it was like Christmas day, he was like...'are you serious? i'd love to have the cd'. overall, it was a good visit, and not just because of the music. visits like that are why i like my job. they're not all like that, but when they are there...it feels like i'm making a difference, even a small one. and my sharing of great music is just the icing on the cake...:)

i've decided it's time to purchase an air purifier...even though i usually think of an air purifier as an extra, completely useless luxury. however, as i continue to struggle with breathing and having sinus-clogged headaches. i figured it's about time i put one in my bedroom. hopefully it will help me sleep better and stop getting sick.
ok, so you know how when you look at a word too long it starts to not look like a word anymore...'Luxury' just did that for me...that is how you spell it, right??

| so, i kinda forgot about this site, and the fact that i was upset one day and kind of went off about my friend and her boyfriend...for the record, i went off about a bunch of other things as well, and i was just in a bad mood. I was frustrated at the time because i'm always in a frustrated mood when i get back from being away. and, in all truth, i missed my friend, and was sad that things had changed. however, the semester is almost over, and in all reality, her boyfriend is great, and i love hanging out with both of them. i didn't have too much time for a social life in these last few months anyways, and seeing them has always been a treat and sooo much fun...especially when we'd hang out at crocketts, with their other friend, and we'd laugh and drink beer, and play pool, and then some darts, and just have fun, or when we all hung out at my house and played speed-scrabble and monopoly til 5am...good times, good times. see, i love my friend and her boyfriend, and i'm sooo glad that they are together and happy and they give me hope...:) so, no worries, i'm not sad or upset anymore:) love you!!

| so, i'm bored, and don't want to do anything. i'm at the beginning of my semester...my FINAL semester, and i don't wanna do any work. i'm sad b/c my closest friend here at school recently started seriously dating this guy and i'm sick of it happening for everyone else but me. ok, maybe not everyone else, but seriously...this is annoying. i miss her and hate having to be the 'third' wheel, which is never fun. i'm invited to hang with them...but how often do i need to completely feel like a loser? and now she's going out of town with him all weekend..boo. also, i'm back after a great christmas break...and the reality of being back in morgantown has set in. i can't wait till i get to leave and start a life outside of this shithole of a town. ok, so the town's not that bad...but i'm in a pissy mood...i think i'm allowed a little exaggeration. also, some of my 'favorite' kids from my job dropped out of school, so they're not here to have fun with...i'm just low and i don't foresee anything changing in the future...i'm gonna be working my ass off...with little -to -no time for a life anyways. it's just gonna be a lonely next few months. (that is if nothing happens with my new EMT interest...but even that is a far stretch)
if i was a counelor, i'd ask myself...what are you gonna do to make this change? well...i'm gonna call this guy, and i'm gonna try to stay positive about my friend and her new boyfriend, and i'm gonna accept reality after a vacation...and i'm gonna start looking for where i'm going after may, but right now...i'm down and low. in the words of a new co-intern...it is what it is. | | |
