Experiment

Sleeping on the opposite side of the bed...

I always sleep right.. Tonight I'm trying left. I'm already of balance just laying in the left side.

Let's see how this goes...

4:30...

So I have a pattern. Regardless of the day of the week, or time of night that I fall asleep.. If I fall asleep with the tv on... I will wake up at 4:30 on the dot, or 4:28 every time. Does anyone else have a weird pattern like this? I'm sitting here and it's 5:10... And I'm wide awake cause some stupid episode of law and order woke me up and got my brain thinking haha. While I'm rambling, I sleep on the right side of my bed... I've recently tried sleeping on the left.. But It only ends of feeling weird to me. I try to utilize all parts of my bed.. But for some reason I can't. I'm trying tube left side again this evening... We shall see how it goes.

So what the hell do insomniacs do? Tv at this time of night reallllllly needs to be improved purely for those people. My idea of hell is now a freezing cold place, that serves no water, no food or booze and forces you to watch informercials and this horrible late night tv... Aka married with children and the Bundy family.

The Life of a College Grad in 2009

More than likely, if you graduated or are going to graduation within the next month, you have a few options.  

1. You move home to mommy and daddy.  If like me, you do not have the ability to move out immediately upon grauation because of either a) you didn't save money, b) you do have money...but you realize it will run out, or c) no roommates...then you are in category 1.  Dying to move out, but with no ability to.

2.  You want to live at home to save money.  Yeah, I am apart of this group as well...but like kill me.  This living at home thing to save money would be great if I had a job to save money with!!!!

3. Like the majority of the graduating seniors this year....you don't have a job.  And if you do, then you work it!  

4.  Grad school.  

I didn't apply to grad school, I have no job, am currently searching for even a non-career job, sleeping in my parents house in my old bedroom, getting free food and cell phone is nice, this place IS rent free....cable, electricity, water and such are free to me....I guess this isn't too bad, but why do I wake up stir crazy EVERY day!?  

The life of a post grad in 2009...is predictable.  Or at least mine and my friends are.  Here is my sad day...

Wake up and get on Gchat where I proceed to talk to my roommate Kasey for a few hours and e-mail my friend Jacky all the while...watch some tv (aka one tree hill and the oc), eat lunch, go workout, come home, shower, eat dinner, and depending on which day of the week it is: either take it easy or go to my friends' apartment to either drink or watch our weekday tv shows. I then either sleep over or go home.  Such is my life...for the past three weeks.

Sad, sad, sad.  Oh and in between all of that, I job search and go on random cooking sprees.  Yesterday I baked brownies, cookies, make some grilled chicken dishes...and various sides.  This is my life....Post Grad '09....and it is not what I wanted.

P.s. I didn't mention that in Daytona, I broke two cell phones...and now use a $20 nokia.....KILL ME.

Today at MRDD

Today at work, the Montgomery County Board of MRDD, I felt pretty accomplished. First, I finished a brochure that I have been working on for a week, and it looks excellent! Next, I finished two 'major positive instance' stories about the people from Jergens and Calumet. Third and finally, I did something awesome.

In the MRDD system, there are many facilities that we cover. Some are early prevention schools and others are adult facilitiess. Today we got to visit a place called Northview School. This is a school for early childhood prevention. This school prepares preschool aged children to be ready and capable of entering kindergaten. My fellow intern and myself went to this school today in order to cover a story. Upon being there, I experienced some of the most adorable children I have ever seen. Some had visible disabilties while others did not. Every single child was as cute as the next.

A lot of the time, the stories I do are on the adult services programs, but this was different. I absolutely truly enjoyed visiting the school and the children.

MRDD is a great place to work. Day in and out, I discover something new about people with disabilities. I have learned that I really do enjoy working for government agencies. I have a much higher appreciation and respect for people with disabilities and all the amazing things that they can do.

Here is just a small list of what the people at these programs here can do:
1. Make all natural dog bones(in house)
2. Make candles that are comparable to the Yankee Candle company(also made all naturally)
3. Make holiday cards(there are amazing artists in this community)
4. Make birdhouses
5. Finally and most importantly, make parts for refridgerators that can be made no where else in the world. They put together the part that helps trigger the light to turn on.

Truly amazing.
