Batoru Rowaiaru!!!

The subject is Battle Royale in Japanese, the book is AMAZING, by far one of my favorites EVER, and Steve and I have this thing where we add "-aru" at the end of words sometimes, so the title of a great book having the "-ru" ending was just too much!

I get paid today, which is great. I'm finishing up my first week as an actual full-timer; I've never had a "real" job where I was full-time. Even at the middle school even though I worked all of the school day (7:45 to 2:45) I was still considered part-time because I didn't get that extra salaried hour of staying after to work on stuff. I'm actually part of the serious work force! I work for the same company but take my job more seriously at the new location! I don't wear sweats to work anymore! I care about the clients! I might wanna move up in the ladder because in 4 months(!!!!!) I'll be qualified to be a practitioner (even though I don't actually want to work in mental health for more than 5 more years)! I'm actually learning a lot here about mental illness. Thankfully. I know I was getting rusty. As a full-timer and now contributor to the company, I must attend weekly 2- to 3-hour meetings and provide feedback and insight on a person's behavior and illness and ways to improve the situation etc. It's neat to matter again.

There's a meteor shower tonight apparently, it was from midnight to four, but it's been cloudy/storming all night, so sucks for everyone around here, haha.
