One should never start a blog if one has no plans to keep up with the blog. It's almost midnight here, so I'm a little afraid of what I'm going to type out at this time of the night. But since I've neglected this blog enough, I figured I should try to get something out there so you all know that I am still very much alive. I hope you all weren't too worried...
Anyway, since I last wrote (which was a long, long time ago), things have definatly changed. For one thing, I started actually working at the library. You might ask what I've been doing. I've been racing through the stacks, slaying monsters who are threatening to eat all the evil dragons and monsters hiding in the stacks! Ha ha, actually I've been tutoring kids. I'm called the "Homework Help" and kids come to me between the hours of 2:30pm and 7:00pm for help on ANY type of homework. I say "any" because it is literally everything! (I've only been doing it for two days now and I've gotten quite a variety) You want to know what their favorite type of homework to bring in is? MATH. And do you know how your lovely writer feels about Math? I hate math. I hate math with a very, very strong passion. Math has been evil for me ever since I can remember! Numbers and Kristine? They just don't go well with me. I hate it!
And so what decided that it wanted to follow me around for the rest of my life? Math. I thought I told it to get lost. But I guess that just didn't happen. I graduated college, expecting to never see math again. And now I'm helping children with math. I don't know why they trust me with helping them. I think they'd be better off talking to a tree. At least it'd encourage them with their wrong answers they came up with on their own, instead of coming up with creative ways to still get the wrong answer! Oh well, it's their grade. All I can do is try.
But thankfully there is this thing called Google. It's really wonderful actually. You can type in anything you want, and it will usually come with some good answers mixed in with a bunch of worthless ones. It's like searching for a needle in a haystack, but you often find several needles!
It shouldn't be too bad of a year, as long as I can survive the math. The kids are crazy, there are a lot of them, and they often don't follow the rules and six of them want help at once. They seem to forget there is only one of me, which leads to a very stressed out tutor. But it's okay, I'll gain back my energy just in time to do it all over again!
Wow, I sense an underlying tone of sassiness from me tonight. Guess that's what I get for writing this at midnight! I hope you all take it as my attempt at being funny, and not someone who is angry. I'm just really tired, and that often causes for an interesting read the next day. Ha ha.
I really love the beach here. I went for a walk yesterday with Val, another girl in the program. it was really nice, even though we got lost for a little bit. But you can't get too lost on the beach, I think. Anyway, we got back safety, and we always had each other.
Okay, well, I think my bed is calling my name. Can't you hear it? I can. Hopefully you don't all think I've lost my mind, I really haven't. But if you do, leave me a comment. It's getting really boring writing posts and then seeing "0 comments". It makes me less interested in writing again. And as you can see, I can be pretty funny when it's late at night and I had a long day!

I have Internet, FINALLY!

So if you haven't guessed, I kind of dropped off the face of the earth. We haven't had Internet for a while, and it was just too frustrating to try and get some. We could walk to the clubhouse, but then everyone can see what you are writing. And while this blog is definatly not private, I don't like people looking over my shoulder as I type. I've also been pretty busy getting to know people, going through training, and just having some fun.

I've been to the beach a couple times now. We went swimming one time, and played football in the water. It was a lot of fun. The waves were huge! Then we went to the pool and jumped in to try and get all the sand off our bodies. It's really nice having warm water to swim in. And a lot of people came, so it was a time to get to hang out with everyone.

I've always walked to the beach alone and just sat alone on it. The breeze is so nice, and it's a great time to just think, or write letters. I hope people have been getting my letters, because no one said they got one yet. That worries me. Does the mailbox have a giant hole in it and any letter being sent to Wisconsin just gets destroyed? ha ha

The guys here a lot of fun. We played frisbree twice now, and then as I said before, football at the beach. We've hung out and watched movies, played games...it's fun. The group is pretty ADD though, so we are always looking for something to do.

Overall, it's been very interesting. It's warm here, but not smoothering hot where I am dying. I think it's great. And the breeze is nice. Sometimes it's too hot, but usually it's okay. The rain is getting a little annoying...sometimes it rains for ten minutes, other times an hour. We had a really bad storm the other night with lightening and everything. That was a little crazy.

I took some pictures, so now that I have Internet, I'll be posting them up soon. I'm actually going to hang out with the apartment downstairs (I'm taking their pictures) so I have to go. I'll write more later!
