I actually had a pretty
I actually had a pretty good day today, albeit LONG. I got into my social psych class!! Thank goodness. Now I can stop going to abnormal and I can sell that book back (and get $91 back... YES!). Then I went to my first research lab. I was checking an already-transcribed interview. This guy was SO INTERESTING. THe study is on parenting and self-esteem. This guy is a single dad. He's black, from inner-city Chicago, is one of 9 kids. His mother had her first child when she was 13 and dropped out of school then. He's the only one in his family to go to college, and he's a senior. So he's MY age, and he has a 3-year-old son and is raising his 5-year-old niece. He's an education and educational psychology major. He was SO COOL to listen to. He's the kind of parent I want to be. He's way into Eastern religions, and just had all these awesome philosophies on parenting and everything. I can't wait to finish the interview tomorrow.
So we didn't go to choir. =( SOMEBODY was late meeting me. Lol. So by the time we got to the music building, it was 10 after 3, and I just can't walk in late to stuff. Especially not when the people have already taken attendence and are standing in circles giving each other massages. Just can't barge in on that as a new addition to the thing. So hopefully Friday we will go.
Amie (my 11-year-old mentoree (is that a word?)) came over tonight. She brought along her new *NSYNC Gameboy Game. SO FUNNY. But man, it makes those boys seem like spoiled brats. =( First you have to run all their errands. Then you have to put them all to bed and shut up everything that's noisy. Of course, when you get the buttons mixed up, you start putting the noisy things to bed and shutting up *NSYNC members. Oops. <.g> THEN you have to make them hamburgers. Tetris-style. Like, you have to catch the correct ingredients and avoid the "bad" ones. LANCE IS SO FREAKING PICKY. I got stuck on his burger SO many times. I kept "dying" and having to start that level over. After you make their burgers, you have to run MORE errands on the way to the concert. Chris kept wanting to go bowling, Justin just HAD to have flowers, and Joey needed to get his phone fixed. Like, who needs to get their phone fixed or go bowling on the WAY to a concert?? Yeesh. Lol. JC and Lance never made any requests. And I was playing with JC being the main guy, so he kept complimenting me on what an awesome job I was doing after every task. Lol. And the last task was getting them all to hackey. Dude. If I'm awful at it in real life, ya think I can do it on a video game? You gotta push those little buttons FAST. And you had to do each level five times, once for each guy. Whew. But after it all, you got to make them dance. Dance, little video game boys, dance!!
