I went to work for 1.5 hours today

Last night Amber stayed with us because she had an interview at this learning center thing. So I was asking her about it and she said that it was an open screening and that I should just come along and see. So after much debate and turmoil (I felt really guilty and it would be more missed hours on my next paycheck) I decided to go for it. I was a three hour interview. It was crazy because the job pay $15/hour and a Bachelor's is recommended but not necessary.
Anywho, it was cool at the same time, I have never been so stressed about an interview. I found out about it at 9:30 last night!
They told us about their theory of learning and we had to practice specific ways in which they implement learning (they cater to Dyslexia, ADD, ADHD, Autism) I really like the way they taught it was very visual (the student does the visual) and made sure that students weren't just memorizing what they need to get by, but making sure it is understood.
I feel kind of overwhelmed, but it is not a big deal if i don't get it (it is a summer job) Doing something brainless also sounds appealing. We'll see.

Yeah, Bloggers back up

I want to learn how to put pictures on this thing. Everytime I try it doesn't work. Can you believe I used to be a graphic design major? Now I can't even put a picture online.
We had really good cheesecake from trader joe's with marionberry/blueberry toping. And then we burned through one of my table clothes and put a burn mark on my grandmother's table after haveing a little too much fun with the birthday candle and watching plastic utensils burn. stupid.
It was good to talke to a. last night. i told her i felt like we broke up. it was just good to act normal. i could see in her face when she first got there that i could have easily made it awkward. i wish you could have stayed longer. how was packing?
i am getting to run over to the office to get paycheck, yeah!! i have to get a present for my papa, i don't know what to get him. suggestions? he likes antique clocks, but those are hard to come by and my house is starting to feel like the makings of an alfred hitchcock movie with all the different chimes going off together, the constant ticking.
i am doing the thing for the vintage store on monday, should be pretty interesting. the girl sounds really nice, but i am always a little afraid, what if its a creepy man who set up a store and lures girls to come model? she said i could bring a friend, but that is so difficult to coordinate.
