So today is the day I start blogging again for real. I just got home from mentoring and it's beautiful outside, I'm in a good mood, I don't have to go to work at Huntington and wheeeeee all is well in the world. Forget that I have to man the center tomorrow while three thousand kids come in for various reasons, teachers invariably are late or don't show, parents ask inane questions while timers scream at me at 5 minute intervals, everyone wants to take a snack break at the same time and I can't stop questioning the appropriateness of my top. Seriously, who invented professional attire?
Ok, enough negativity. It truly is intoxicatingly (yep that's not a word) nice outside and I had such a good mentoring session today with Marissa. We played Scrabble, drew pictures, played tic-tac-toe and all the while had an impressively easy conversation. She is almost painfully shy and demure so I occasionally found myself hurling a spate of questions at her and had to stop, but she really opened up (relatively) today and we even had a few laughs, mainly at the squashed, preschool-esque butterfly I drew for her.
So at the risk of giving up on this post because there are so many distractions going on around me right now, I will end it here and accept the fact that if this is going to be a daily activity, my blog doesn't have to include every single aspect of my life. WHEW.
