What a week?

Before Tuesday, I was still a bit unsure about my decision to leave my job, but as tuesday morning at work unfolded, i became very sure of my decision. The parents of the kids that i transport on tuesday mornings went to court last week and so they were very angry during their visit. they were yelling and cursing in front of their children and they were being very hostile. so, i had to confront them several times and threaten to end their visit if they did not calm down. Well after all that, they followed me to my car as i was preparing to leave. They said they just wanted to say goodbye to their kids one more time, but they continued yelling and being hostile. At one point, the dad looked at me and said "fuck you and your rules". at this point, i was beginning to feel a bit unsafe. Anyway, we were finally able to leave and no one got hurt. But, as i sat in my car with the doors locked and my hands a bit shaky, i realized that this is not the job for me at this point in time. Anyway, all is better now. today is my first real day off. it is kind of nice. I didnt wake up till about 10:30. it feels pretty good.

well, the rest of the week has consisted of writing papers and my internship. The papers went well, i think. my internship is also going well. I am really enjoying the two groups that i am facilitating right now. my supervisor was out sick last week, so i ran the anger management group myself. It was great. I think it was very productive and much fun. i really feel like i have learned a lot during this semester at this internship. :)

I also spent some nice quality time with Michael this week. Things are going so well with him. Most of you wont believe this, but he is coming over to spend thanksgiving with my family. His family lives out of town and i am firm bliever that no one should spend the holidays alone. :) anyway, i am really excited and suprisingly so is my family. Life is so crazy. it just amazes me how people can change. My parents seem to really have changed their views of me and my life and the way they react to all that. It is a change for the better for sure. It is nice to really be able to talk to them and lean on them.

Well, today is my first day off in a four day weekend. isnt that wonderful? i dont have any obligations except papers till my tuesday class at 2. how crazy is that? :) The plan for the day includes hanging with my dad a bit, working out, writing another paper for school and then lounging a bit. i feel like i might be getting a cold, so i am going to take it easy so i can fight it before it happens. :) have a great weekend, everyone.
