Desperately trying to make lemonade

Homework at the last minute

It's amazing. I know that I have things to get done everyday right? But yet, I still end up rushing, last minute to try to get stuff turned in on time. So, tomorrow, I will rush to the post office to get my picture portfolio to my teacher by next Wednesday...better than overnighting it again... And then over to the library to get everything redone in Word, since I don't have Word on this computer, and send it in one big file to the prof, instead of lots of little ones like I've been doing.

Plus, tomorrow we have training. So far, training has sucked!! It's so lame! Like I talk to Linda about how her training go, and they actually do useful stuff in theirs. *sigh* I miss the good old days.

OH! I still need to apply for a job here as a teacher in town. I have to do that online. I guess I could start working on it now. Then call Adam back...find something to snack on since dinner wasn't really much. I kind of threw it together and said, ok, that'll work for now.

And it's back to the same old, trying to get everything done for next week done tomorrow. It's a circle. I'm trapped on a merry-go-'round.

I've really got to make time for Biblestudy. Last night I did read a bit from Tomorrow's World, but was really tired and don't know if I got much out of it. Should probably re-read it at some point.

So, these kids who think each park is a kingdom came by and were sparring across the road. They were nice. They came by to get some water and cool off. Then Elliott, the child lifeguard, decides to go play with them. Which is fine, but I'd kind of like to not have to go hunt him down when he needs to get back to work. Most of the guards are good about watching time and getting back when they need to. I talked to him briefly about it. I donno how he took it. But, I guess we'll see. They exchanged numbers so that Elliott can get involved with the group. I'm sure his parents are just going to love that. Especially the guy with the mohawk. He was nice, but just not people I'd think Elliotts parents would want him to hang out with. Not that I've met his parents, but just from seeing how Elliott is, I'm sure he didn't fall far from the tree. So, that's my Elliott story. I think we all have Elliott stories. I feel bad for all the poor guy. No one really likes him.

Oh, like today. We have a leaky shower that is in the walkway to get to the pool that no one ever uses, but it still leaks. In fact, it leaves a small puddle in the office and in the other hallway. Every day. It's the same thing. Elliott walks in and says, "You might want to turn the water off, it's leaking in here". Fortunately, my manager was there, she looked at me, I looked at her. We sighed and agreed it would be a long day. I asked her if she wanted to stay and she was like, um...no.

It wasn't a bad day though. It even dropped down to only 2 people in the pool. So we had 4 guards in the pool to the 2 kids. Pretty good odds. If something happened then we would be complete morons. Or they would be...the kids I mean.

Well, off to stress about homework some more.
