Really, I'm just killing time in between my two shifts at the country club today.
One of the biggest things I have to say about the Delta, and living here in Arkansas, is that people truly are beyond nice about everything. I have had one crazy week. Definitely not one of my best. One of those weeks where the hits just keep on coming, buttttt, aside from that, I've really couldn't appreciate the help that I'm getting from everyone, and things can only go up. (At least that's what I'm hoping, with my horrible luck!)
To my Mom and Dad- constantly talking to me and giving me advice and telling me it will get better and will work out!
My friends back home- just because I really miss you all, and I have loved being able to catch up this week =)
And of course to Will- constantly driving me around and constantly saying he doesn't mind... Cooking for me most every night, and be super willing to help me figure out where to go, whether it be to look at new cars or get my jeep fixed... I certainly couldn't have met a better person. Oh! And on the bright side, we get to go to a play in Memphis on Friday night at the (yes I will misspell this) Orpheum Theatre to see Mary Poppins! So that will at least be a nice little break from the horrible week I have had!
And lastly, as crazy as my school can be, the other teachers have been beyond nice with offering and driving me around as well- and the other people at The Country Club have been wonderful too (and certainly the extra money will be helpful!)

Not funny, but makes ya laugh scenario/quote-
So I had a meeting to go to for school this week. A training session, if you will. It was from 9am until 3pm, so I was only at school until 830am. Before leaving for the meeting I had a big talk with my students about how they better act or they will personally be escorted to the office with me to call their mom and dad to tell them how they couldn't behave. I get back the next morning to see 5 children that misbehaved. I walke them down to the office, and of course only 1 of the numbers worked, so the others didn't have to call. (2 had checked out before this could happen) Of course the little girl who did get to call was crying her eyes out, and one of the other little girls was just crying because she was in trouble, and the little boy wasn't at all. We all walk back to the room and the other students look at them and one goes "well why isn't ______ crying?!" I had to turn my back to not laugh.
The other big adventure for the week was our power was not working at school, which also meant no heat. We had kids until 1230, and we were required to stay the remainder of the day even after they left! It was a cold, dark day!!
Anyhow, that's about it =)
