Looking back over my life, I used to be almost a completely different person. Isn't funny how we change when we grow up and enter adulthood? In many ways I have returned to my childhood innocence, but in some I have simply grown wiser and more responsible. I look back at junior high and high school especially... Almost embarrassing. Did you know I got suspended from high school for two weeks my junior year? Yeah. I made a really stupid choice, but I learned so much from it. And it could have ended so much worse. So I'm glad everything happened the way it did. Funny how it works out that way sometimes, huh? And I was able to do all my schoolwork for credit, maintain my captaincy of the varsity cheer squad, and remain on the dayspring chorale during the suspension. That never should have happened, but God was still smiling at me.

Anyways, I was an awfully silly teenager. I made so many stupid choices. I was admittedly boy crazy. I wanted to get rid of the label of "goody goody" the "bad boys" gave me. I wanted to fit it with everyone yet I was a horrible person. And I didn't care at all about my schoolwork. I feel like I'm an entirely different person now. I guess that means it was all worth it. Overall, I had a great high school experience and I wouldn't change any of it. I'm glad I got my rebellious streak out then and got it over with instead of in college where real damage could have been done.

I'm starting to think I'm not supposed to work at liberty next year. I might start sending out applications for outside jobs. To various social service offices and counseling centers. Maybe something will pop up that's perfect and will still pay for my masters. A lot of people have their education paid by their employers. It's worth looking into at least.

I have another cold from the kids at school. I was zipping up a coat two days ago and got sneezed on right in the face by the kid. We were less than 5 inches apart. Gross. And now I have another cold. I had hoped my immunity had been built last semester. At least it's the weekend so I can sleep a lot and drink lots of tea. hopefully. Our landlord wants me to babysit tomorrow night. But she's not feeling well either so hopefully tomorrow we'll cancel and reschedule.

It was beautiful out today. And it's supposed to be beautiful out this weekend. I want to go out jogging. But if my throat is sore there's no way I could do it. Stink.

Ugh, 15 more minutes until nannying is over for the week. The only thing I'll miss about this Jon is getting paid in cash every week. But I'll hopefully be making a lot more next year anyways so it will more than make up for it.

The end.
