well, a quick update for everyone about my life right now:

I've had to talk to 2 girls about possibly self-injuring. one student had a meltdown. there is a possibility of a 504 student being mis-classified (should he be ED? possibly! especially with Oppositional Defiant Disorder). yeah, stuff has been interesting....

1. five days a week, I leave my house around 5:30 AM to arrive at Dundee School (its K-12 plus the district offices in one building!) around 7:15 AM. yes, a drive straight through....unless I stop at Wegmans or Burger King to grab something to eat for breakfast...

Hehe - thats nice
and today, my step-father took my mom's car in to be looked at...here's how things are going:
1. the shop that the insurance company referred us to is capable of doing all the work.
2. the $500 deductible will not be charged to us. my mom's car insurance company (Liberty Mutual) will be going after the insurance company of the person that hit my mom's...

A woman actually grabbed my scanner thingy today and started ringing herself up. It was odd, to say the least.
well, today, kind of interesting.
running around, getting kids to sign up for the PSAT's.
one girl I had to talk with about missing classes...she's currently getting divorced from a 53 year old child molester (huh, why did she marry him?) and fighting him for custody of their daughter. yeah...complicated.
the kid who won't talk...told straight out that if I see him before class, go...

Was your mom found at fault for the accident?
nina_kova:
wow. sounds like an interesting job! glad you are there - you sound like you are enjoying it!
well, just over one week down at the new job. I'm starting to get the "hang" of things. at least in some ways. such as the following:
1. talked with a kid today that was sent down by a teacher. very low functioning with a speech impediment. yeah, it was interesting...he was tough to follow!
2. starting to pick up on kids. one student has...

Damn ... I knew there was some funny business going on with you and bender 
miss_cellophane:
Mmm, sounds tough.
As for the kid that wont speak. Try sand play. Get a box, doesn't have to be huge or anything and fill it with some nice sand. Maybe have a few toys as well like trucks or dinosaurs. Then sit around it with the kid. Even if he just runs his fingers through it, its somewhat therapeutic. Apparently it really opens them up as well. But if theres no sand, maybe even finger painting or something. Good luck with it. Let me know if you get to try it.

well, day four, and I'm starting to really get the lay of the land, so to speak. working more independently instead of the "hand holding".
plus the other counselor and I finally sat down with the Principal and hammered out some things of what I'll be doing and not doing.
so basically I won't be doing college applications and transcripts.

Plattsburg? WAY the fuck up 87
so day one went off without a hitch. a whirlwind of activity in some ways (getting computer access, getting onto School Master, getting paperwork done), but a fun whirlwind. met way too many people, most of who I will not remember. even helped a student some (he's looking into Forestry and Conservation).
also found out that I'm working with 3 8:1:1 students. all three are...

can't wait to hear how it all went! yay you!
well, today, I was supposed to start, however, the Principal was thinking (and I agree) that Monday would be better.....because:
1. Fridays are kind of hectic at times...and the entire "end of the week thing"
2. Homecoming week, so I would get lost in the shuffle.
also, I managed to cut out about 20 miles using my Garmin by changing from shortest time to shortest...
