yesterday:
so yesterday was my first day teaching at UCLA on my own. going into the day, i was a teansy nervous. i was teaching simulations [sim·u·la·tion –noun 1. imitation or enactment, as of something anticipated or in testing. 2. the act or process of pretending; feigning. 3. an assumption or imitation of a particular appearance or form; counterfeit; sham.]. the first couple of rotations were a little rough [that's what she said], but the last two went really well. it definitely felt good getting over that first day of being on your own. i am really looking forward to my next day of teaching. i am honestly really loving this job.
today/wednesday:
serving the citizens of inglewood aka working.
thursday:
ok, so this is when it starts to get fun. first, i get to fill out new hire paperwork at my new job woooooo!!!!! thank you woo girls. then i am driving to san diego to pick up my younger brother and the family dog lola! and bringing them back to los angeles. because, on friday....
friday:
my brother and i are going on a ride along with fire station 14 . my brother is considering pursuing the fire service, so i figured what a better way to show him what ems is all about than throwing him into south central los angeles. i am excited.
saturday:
back to san diego to take baby brother home.
the week is going to be busy, but it is going to be good. i am really looking forward to spending some quality time with my brother, especially since i don't get to see him that often. and i am also really excited to have a dog at my house. i love dogs, and this will definitely help me decide if i want to take the plunge and get a dog that is.
and here is an inspirational quote [one that has gotten me through quite a few tough days] to leave you with:
sometimes it is a quiet voice at the end of the day saying,
"i will try again tomorrow."
