i called a couple daycares about two days ago. One of them put me on the sublist for the summer incase they needed anyone. And the other said they will definitly need an educator for the summer in july and august but she just did not know the hours yet and she said that she would call me back in a couple weeks. yay. so i am now writing a note to my other retail job telling my boss that i can only work weekends this summer. Because of this daycare job. but if anything comes up where there are weekdays that they do not need me or even afternoons where they do not need me. i will let him know and i can maybe head there. working two jobs this summer to save up money for paris. and so when i come back i will be able to pay for car insurance again. oh god. wish me luck that this daycare job actually works out. and that my other boss does not get mad over the fact that i am just going to continue with my weekend shifts.
confession: if you post a video on tumblr it is very rare that i will actually watch it. unless your laci green or john green.
caught up on homework, got a good review on how i am as an educator from my teacher. I feel like i am kicking this thing in the butt. That being said. i will probably be back to the exact same stress i was at yesterday in a couple of days. oh the life of a student. It never ends. Until you grad..but then we are tossed into the real world and that in it own does not have an ending or a nice piece of paper to congratulate you on all the work you have done :P.
The Black Book of Colors by Menena Cottin
I stumbled across this while looking for a book for my cousin’s new baby. I was so intrigued by the whole idea. On each left page there was words written in braille and then again in white text. It was the description of colors, according to how a blind child would experience. On the right there were raised etchings of what each page was describing. It’s so beautiful.
One page in particular that really caught my attention was the one describing the color red. It talked about how red is how it feels to bite into a ripe strawberry, or the stinging on your knee after you fall down. Blue was the feeling of sunshine on your face.It’s just so astounding that someone managed this, as the idea of how to describe a color to someone who has no reference has always fascinated and baffled me.
i have this book and i love it
3 hours of homework today. i am ahead of the game. yet i still feel stressed. and i am going to force myself to be anti social and do homework again tomorrow after 7 hours of working with little children and chasing them around a museum. you know you are close to graduation when.
