So Monday night was all about awards. I spent the entire night Sunday doing James' Hall of Fame. Then on Monday, I did his president's award and touched up Joe's Hall of Fame. I really hope one of them wins. They really deserve it! So I slept at 5am. I was so tired.

Luckily on Tuesday I get to sleep in. I woke up at 12pm and got ready for preschool. Today the site coordinator was bring someone to observe us. GOSH..our team hates being observed. Luckily the kids were really good today. On our drive back, I was telling my team leader how great my kid was today. She let me read to her and she remembered my name!

OMG. Then all of a sudden a huge CLUNK sound. We were about to exit the freeway and as my team leader Alice was switching lanes, she ran over some huge metal thing in the road on the freeway. So we pull over on the shoulder and she realizes that 2 of the tires popped! So crazy and of course it's raining..more like pouring! So she only has one spare (obviously) and we call AAA. They hang up on us so we called back. They tell us they are sending someone. The problem is, the tow truck can only take 2 people...THERE ARE 5 OF US. Crap.

So I was like OMG..then I called Agustin. Luckily he was free and he took off right away to save us. As we were waiting, a tow truck comes. This super shady looking guy comes to the window...I'm imagining all kinds of crazy killer stories at this point. But it turns out that the tow service is free in Berkeley and they get you off the freeway. But again, the problem is there's 5 of us and only space for 2. So we send him away and wait for AAA. Then the traffic starts getting worse and worse. And a while later Agustin calls and says he is almost on the freeway going the way we are.

But then a california highway patrol pulls over. He tells us to try and drive the car..then a nasty burning tire smell penetrated the windows into the car. IT WAS DISGUSTING. Seriously gross. So the CHP officer decides to give us a ride. OKay...just then Agustin calls again and I tell him to drive home safely. THANK YOU SO MUCH AGUSTIN!! I LOVE YOU LIKE SERIOUSLY SO MUCH! YOU ARE SUCH A GREAT FRIEND! SO then my teammate gets in first..she like took 5 minutes because her foot got stuck between the back nd the front seats. I get in and was like WTF...there is seriously no leg space. Then another teammate gets in and she closes the door but it's not closed all the way. Well obviously in a cop car the door handles dont work. So whatever, off we go. So we take the exit that we were super close to and the officer was like "fuck, there is an accident"







LOL..yeah he was like super cussing. So there are two cars blocking the off ramp. He tells the cars to move off the ramp using the speaker system, but they don't even pay attention. Then he goes if you don't move your car, I will move it for you. He was serious. He was inching forward with his cop car. Then he gets out of the car but he forgets to put the car on park! It was scary..we almost hit the car that rearended another car. LOL..but dude the ppl were crazy. The two ladies would not get in their cars and drive off the freeway. When I saw the car, the front one was a BMW (BRAND NEW) but it only had paint scuffs. The car behind, got all fucked up. the front was like totalled. SO SAD. *side note: invest in a nice car..it's worth it* So we are still super squished in the cop car and the ladies drive to teh AMPM off the freeway and everything is okay. So we leave.

On the way he kept trying to make conversation and it was pretty crazy. He kept trying to convince us to become CHP Officers (apparently he makes $120,000 a year..WHOA) Anyways..he tells us how ppl only like firemen and never cops..which is totally true. Cops have such bad reps.

So finally we get to the Bart and then I head over to generally meeting. I had not had anything to eat yet..by the way it's 6:20pm and I have gone the whole day without food. I wanted to eat..but I only had 2 dollars. FML. Gosh..so I get some comfort food (curly fries) and I just go and wait at the general meeting room.

So gen mtg was pretty interesting..some funny skits etc..i got to be in the assassins skit..where I killed everyone for reals..(yeah I dunno..i dont get it but it was funny). Dragonsaurs won 2nd place penny wars for both categories..i think..(2nd Most money raised and most positive points)..then I ate a brownie.

I finally left and went to get some real dinner with James. Poor thing..he hasn't slept for like 4 or 5 days now. He worked on the Single Service essay for 7 hours...he didn't even care about his president's award. *sigh* what presidents have to do. SO yeah after dinner, got home and passed out at 11pm.

Wednesday: work, boring classes, work, home (ate a whole can of clam chowder..yikes), jumpstart training that was cancelled AGAIN..apparently there was some sort of fatality? and an emergency faculty mtg and our guest speaker couldnt make it. So instead of the training I finally was able to attend Margaret's committee meeting for like the first time ever. It was fun and I love Margaret (she's so awesome). Too bad water spilled in my backpack and my notebook is all messed up. Oh wells..after the mtg, I picked up some chocolate chips because I wanted to make chocolate chip cake..but I didnt have any sour cream..then I wanted to make some cc muffins..but I had no milk. FINE! I'll just settle for some chocolate chip cookies. They have a disgusting amount of butter but they are delicious. I MADE THESE FROM SCRATCH! yay..off of today's smitten kitchen post.




Alex got me thinking about graduation and the end of circle k...so I went on a search to find the best graduation song. haha..then ended up on youtube looking at random videos like Jimmy Kimmel's Unnecessary Censorship (super funny!). Now it is late..24 cookies later and a ton of youtube videos, I am off to bed. Goodnite.

PS. I reminisced about being on APATH and listenin to our open house songs/dance and our goodbye song by brian and jeff. I miss APATH freshman year. Fun stuff.
