Today... Today was okay. It had good parts and not as good parts and so so parts. It was probably one that will just blend in with the rest of my life, not sticking out for any reason. I'm starting to realize some of the realities of my job. There are also not so wonderful realities: I am a new graduate and new to this job, which means I have a TON to learn, I will be limited in the ways I can help kids until I learn more about equipment, resources, and conditions, I have to earn the respect of my colleagues, and I when I make mistakes they affect other people. There are wonderful realities: I get to hang out with kids all day, I get to be part of helping them access their school environment better, I get to be part of building their self esteem, and I get to show them love. I have decided this year that I will do my absolute best. But... I won't expect more than that from myself because there is nothing more I can give.
Also today... hurried lunch at Wendy's (why do I keep thinking I'll have time to run home for lunch?), making dinner with Alan- yummy pasta with peanut sauce, surfing the internet, laundry, AND... an avocado sprout. Yes, Alan and I have our very own avocado growing from a seed from the store. Someday (in the very distant future, since avocados take years to produce fruit) Alan and I will have an avocado tree and will no longer pay $.69 to $1.50 for an avocado. And, we will bask in the glory of endless guacamole!
