Grape vines && Bulletin Boards

This week has been interesting. We didn't have any school here on Monday because of President's Day so that was nice having a day off yet still being able to count it. My first week I worked 34 hours. The second: 39. This week I will have worked over 40 hours so I will have some time off in the next couple of weeks. It's crazy that I am already three weeks into this. It's good though. I am learning so much and really enjoying all of the time I am spending here.

Life at the crossing has been good, too. The only thing that has been kind of weird has been the fact that I haven't really gotten out and about much. The bus is kind of expensive - $2 one way and that doesn't include long transfers. But, there is not much I can do about it, so I just suck it up and deal. There is a walmart down the road so I walk to it at least once a week. It's good exercise and it's not a bad walk either. I would like to get out and explore downtown a little more, but I really just wish I had a car. I know that it would make everything SO much easier and allow me to be more mobile. I guess that one cannot look a gift horse in the mouth - I think that's what they say. ;)

But truly, that would be my biggest complaint being here right now is not going out so much. It might sound silly but I promise this is NOT something to be taken lightly. Haha; being an extrovert I need to get out and be around people and be able to LAUGH and have FUN. And for the most part, if I am at the crossing, I am either eating with the other interns or being a bum in my room watching cable tv or something silly like that.

I have been printing off biology stuff lately to start studying with. It's a very good thing - I am going to be taking the test sometime while I am here so studying now is key. I also found an online english class that work with the arbor and will transfer in time for me to for sure graduate on time! YAY!!

Well, I need to post on blackboard and get ready for the kiddies to come in, so it's goodbye time for me for now
