Sadness at work

Okay so I LOVE my job and I love working with these kids and all of their personalities...but it has come to a point where BOTH the teacher and I feel like we are getting nowhere with most of the children. They have so many problems at home and most of them really just have no real drive to even attempt at making something of themselves!! It is so frustrating to go in everyday and to try and open this whole new world to them, but to continually get shot down and to keep hitting a wall. When kids are in the fifth grade and they have given up on life...*sigh* it is hard to not lose hope.

I didn't go to work yesterday because I woke up sick (No I didn't freak out and think it was Swine Flu) I just was lethargic and really couldn't move...it was a pj and hot cocoa day! YAY!!!! I am still feeling a little..okay a lot drained...but it ain't going to kill me or anything!!! I will survive!

Flash forward to tomorrow where I wake up dead. Even though technically it isn't possible I will find a way!!! Barbara told me today that there is a guy in her science class who looks just like McGee from NCIS! I told her she needs to be friends with him so that we can drool over him from afar. I LOVE McGee! I love NCIS!!!
I need to work on a list of expenses for my move to BYU Idaho and I need to call the school tomorrow. I got my transcripts sent to them from CSN and I have to wait for the end of RIO's semester to send those transcripts too. I really hope I can get to Idaho in the fall...it would drive me nuts if I had to stay down here longer!
