I am a critter magnet

So, it seems that I am loved by all critters. Here is the story. So, i get home on Monday night around 8:30 after working out and getting some groceries and such at the store. well, I make myself some dinner and turn on the tube. At about 10:15, i had already fallen asleep on the couch, so i was going to make my way to bed. as i was brushing my teeth with my eyes half asleep, i see Joe again. Well, I am not sure it was Joe, but he was freakin' huge. So, this time I think instead of trying to kill him myself and failing again, i would call for backup. Well, my hero, Michael, was working, so I called Gabe, Michael's cousin and roommate. I bet i sounded pretty pathetic because Mallory (Gabe's girlfriend) and Gabe came right over. Gabe arrived with a 2x4, a throwing knife, and a blow dart gun. As soon as i opened the door, I just started cracking up when i saw him standing there with his weapons. anyway, Gabe began blowing darts at the roach since he was by my ceiling. He missed the first two, but got him on the third. It was so gross, Joe was just pinned to the wall hanging there squirming. I felt really bad, but i think joe has harassed me enough. It is still so crazy to me how much i dislike roaches, but dont really mind other bugs like spiders and stuff. So, thank you Gabe for your help.

This morning, I get into my office and sit down in my chair and all a sudden an object scurries from under my desk to behind my book shelf. I see it running across my office and it is a mouse or rat or something of that kind of critter. So, I have decided that since we have lived peacefully together for over a month now, i will let him be as long as he does not bother me. I have decided to name him Jack. I have a feeling Jack and I are going to become great friends. :)

Well, the rest of the week has been pretty good. I am getting more accustomed to the club staff and the kids. I spent the afternoon on monday and tuesday just hanging out with the kids and helping out the club staff at the club my office is located in. It was a great time. Many of the kids recognize my face now and know my name. I also got a new referral. YEAH!!! Hopefully this rapport building and these presentations will continue to be helpful in gaining more referrals. I can honestly say if everyday at this job can be like monday and tuesday were, I will really enjoy this job. We will see how it goes, but it seems to be looking up now.

My spanish class is going well. I had my second class yesterday and we learned more vocab, the numbers, some verb conjugations and much more. I am really enjoying it. I cant wait till i can learn more. Unfortunatley, I am going to have to skip my class next week, but it is for a great reason. Michael and I will be celebrating our 1 year anniversary. We are going to Pirahna, of course. :) Anyway, I think this spanish class will really be a good thing. I am already feeling like i can understand a bit more of what the kids are saying and such. well, i am off to get some work done.
