Well, I finally had orientation yesterday morning, and then we were told to go to our schools, but it was an early release day, so by the time I got there, the kids were gone and I got to sit through most of a faculty meeting that had nothing to do with me. :-)
Today I actually "worked". My job is to sit with my student and make sure he stays focused on what he's doing and doesn't touch anyone (Or just tell him, "Don't touch" when he does). It was pretty funny though, because he said he didn't like my last name so he was trying to come up with a different one, and was just going through the last names of other students and saying my first name with their last name, but I don't think he actually decided on one.
I had to take a nap this afternoon because I was so tired from sitting all day. :-) But I guess it's better to have too little to do than too much?
Tim and I hosted the youth group for the Super Bowl, and we had a good time. Yay for the Packers!! We didn't know how Toby would react to having so many people in the house, so we let everyone give him a piece of a dog treat so he would be friendly. It seemed to work. We didn't have any problems with him until toward the end of the game. I was holding him in my lap in the kitchen (we put chairs and our TV from the bedroom in the kitchen for overflow from the living room, which ended up being the adults and me), and a kid was standing next to me, swinging his leg back and forth, and it apparently upset Toby, because he jumped from my lap to attack the kid! I don't know that he bit him hard, if at all but he jumped on him and started barking at him. And then he would grow at anyone who came up to pet him. After most people had left, and there were three boys left, one came up to pet him when he was in Tim's lap, and he leaped at him and tried to bite his arm! I don't know what is up with that dog.
On another note, (no pun intended) Glee is new tonight after having a new episode Sunday after the Super Bowl! :-) Yay! But I have to study before it comes on because I haven't studied in a couple of days! *Gasp* But I did better on the last practice test I took than I did on the first one. I was four questions away from passing on the first test, and I passed the second, so hopefully that means I'll do well on the real thing.
I hope everyone has a great week!! :-)
