Four posts in a week; that's a record!

But I thought since I've been here for a full 4 months, I should update with a rundown of the average monthly schedule. So, here goes!

On the first Monday of each month, we have an awards assembly. Certificates for students who have raised their scores in classes, for students of the month, and for dorm of the month are awarded. Every Monday is a weekly assembly, discussing the week's weather, campus plans and events, etc.

Every Wednesday is Teams. This is when ESPs are done, in addition to other announcements. Also on Wed is trip sign-ups in the rec center... Which sucks because I have my SST group then, and by the time we get done, the line is impossibly long! Blech!

Every two weeks we get a new CPP group, and every second Tues we get paid. These weeks alternate, so CPPs come in on dry weeks.

Finally, every last Friday of the month is a graduation ceremony. The graduates are given a bunch of goodies and declared graduates of the Job Corps program.

I think that's it. Oh, by the way, my harddrive is no longer broken. I fixed it with another good solid thwack! Ha!

Gah!! As if I didn't have enought to save up for!! After taking such good care of it, my 500GB hard drive is rendered dead because of a single drop to the floor!! All of my music and movies and games... GONE!! ... Well not really, if I take them to a computer store and have them take the data from the internals... All the same though, all of my data is now inaccessible...

... Now that I have that out of my system for now, there's good news. My first itinerary for the trip home has come in; I'll be back before dinnertime on the 30th, barring any act of God. Yay summer break!!

A Good Day

Three wonderful things happened today.

First... I worked with Leah on 2nd shift. It was her first ever shift, and it was just the two of us, so I worked extra hard. It felt SO good!!

Second... The results of the ServSafe certification test came in. Bo (my instructor) didn't give me my exact score, but he did tell me that I passed! I am now officially ServSafe certified!

Third... Today was the monthly Awards ceremony. I was awarded Best Dressed in the Humphrey Hall dorm for the month of May! And, as a bonus, Humphrey Hall also won Dorm of the Month, adding a keen $300 to our dorm funds!

Needless to say, a very nice day. The only thing that could make it better is if it weren't Humphrey Hall's gym night... My feet are killing me from shift!!

I finally got a textbook to study with this past week. Slowly I'm working to finish the assigned chapters; I have a feeling the metric system is going to kill me though, since I've never really used it.

Yesterday, my dormstaff instated me as a new dorm leader. I was completely caught off guard, I've never led anything so I'm super nervous. That's not to mention the girls who were actively seeking the position. So now I feel like I have a target attached to me. Anyway, I've been moved from Room 8 in the back A-side bay to Room 2 in the front A-side bay; since Angela is leaving for advanced in a week, I'll be taking her place. Some of the other girls say I've got the toughest room with Tori and Chantèa, but Angela says I've got good roomies.

After June 5th, all leaves and weekend passes are cut off, in anticipation of Summer Break, which begins on the 30th. The moment I have my confirmation and itinerary, I'll let you know, Mom and Dad. I'm looking forward to visiting at home!
