Friday, August 15

4:43 a.m. - Yesterday was chaotic, but every first day at every level of education is.  Through the chaos, the ICE staff once again demonstrated care and patience and love for students.  I'm honestly in awe of them.  After the day, Amber decided we needed to go to El Barrill and have supper, so I followed orders.  I woke up again around 2 a.m. last night thinking about stuff, but I did get back to sleep for a bit.  

On to day 2!  The hot temperatures are coming back, so we have a 1:30 dismissal schedule.  That's good for the heat situation, but it's a different timing schedule and class schedule for students which isn't the best thing.  We have expectation stations this morning, and I 'm not sure about my role in that, but I'm sure someone will tell me.  After school I need to run into Monster Sewing and get my other two pair of pants.  One good thing today is that its pay day!
