Sorry that it has been so long since I posted anything. I had a temporary internet issue that has since cleared up. My wireless connection returned as mysteriously as it left. Anyway, I am headed to the SERVES conference today. It's in Yakima which is about 3 hours away. I'm not really pumped about being away from my students but I am excited for the bonding with my fellow Americorps volunteers. I get to talk with Laura and Alex a bit. Laura and I hang out outside of work but I never see Evan or Alex. This should be a good chance to really get to know my co-workers.
Time and I have been getting along better. Actually, 95% of the time we get along fine. It's just when he flies off the handle and goes all insane/angry. Then there is awkwardness afterwards because he doesn't mean anything by it and I take it like it means something. The problem is, I'm not OK with that. Before you reach for anger, you should always try to solve a problem without raising your voice. It's frustrating but it makes me feel good that even though I start crying, I can still keep my head about me. I may not have total control over my body but I am able to use some of the conflict resolution training that I have had in my own life.
