Well, my practicum was kinda crazy today. I thought I could use these last few days there to reconnect with my clients and find some closure.

BUT NO!

I spent the entire day working on stuff for Ruby. Working like crazy on stuff for RUBY! She made me do a presentation. No warning. No preparation. I was like, um, I'm not prepared to do that and I don't feel comfortable with it. I got a big ole I don't care do it anyway reaction from the sweet lady. Luckily it wasn't as painful as it could have been...

I spent the whole day going crazy trying to get through the piles of stuff she put in front of me. I didn't even get to stop for 5 minutes for lunch!

BUT RUBY ON THE OTHER HAND... well, her boyfriend came in to see her, and then they left the office to run errands together, and everytime I called her in a panic over something going on with one of HER clients she and he are giggling and every once in awhile there was a "oh behave" from her to her little man. I was getting so annoyed working my tush off for her while she goofed around.

AND THEN to top it all off, she comes running in the office, dropping tons more work on me to do, then goes home an hour early with her boyfriend. I WAS TICKED.
I did not get to call even one of my clients today. NOT ONE! ARG.
I wish that Tiffany had been there today. Ruby treats me so disrespectfully. Every chance she gets she has me doing her work for her, calling her clients and making appointments, paperwork, whatever she wants. She talks to me like I'm stupid and never asks me if I mind doing this stuff for her, just tells me to do it. Tiffany always encourages me to spend as much time with my clients as possible, to get what I need from my practicum, and when Ruby starts trying to make me her person servant she stands up for me saying that that really isn't what I'm there for. AND if she does need me to do something for her, she ASKS me to. I like that much better.

Any guilt I was feeling about leaving Hope Home before finishing my hours pretty much fled out the door this morning.

Even if I don't get to do my practicum at the hospital, I am not going back there. I will refuse. I'll drop out of this school before I do that!

New subject.
The best part of my life is being married to Lydwin. I love him so much. He's an angel. He puts up with so much from me, and I don't know what I would do without him.

Since I know you are all dying to see pictures from our wedding, here ya go!

okay, well, on 2nd thought, (I just looked at the picture, and it was HUMONGOUS!) I think I need to edit it first :P sorry!

okay lets try this again...
