M applied to be an RA in and also signed a lease for an appartment in October. At the end of February she was told that she didn't get an RA spot. The next week she found out that she was moved up and got an RA spot! I made a facebook post to try and sublet her lease. M found a person to sublet the lease and walked them through the process all by herself! I gladly paid the $350 fee and she is all set!

Big day for lP
Yesterday lP got invisilign on her teeth to close her open bite. After I took her back to school I went by a shop for a replacement purse. I noticed that they were hiring and asked about the position. It would be a good job for lP with limited hours and wholesome environment. When lP got home (walking) I told her about the job and she asked to have a little time before going to interview. I described what would give them a good impression, especially to be confident with the machine. She met with the ladies for 45 mintues and they invited her to work there! What a day.

March has a lot going for it
I started seeing patients at the clinic for my program. Knowing this would be more time than I could add to my schedule I gave notice in February to leave my campus job. I enjoyed many things about working, but it was a lot of stress. I learned that I need to be very careful about falling into office drama.
My two patients are working on memory things and that is exciting to learn how to plan therapies. I have been interested in Music Intonation Therapy and I get to use it with one of my clients. All the paperwork involved with planning and documenting therapy sessions is a lot. So far I'm keeping my head above water.
I put in a lot of time working on creating a memory resource for my patient with Broca's Aphasia. I was telling P that I needed him to write 96% on a paper for me on doing this self assigned project so well. He wrote me a very nice card and even put one of his A+ shiny smiley face stickers on it.
Our friends the S family are so cool. They hosted a pi day party and it was so lovely.
Today I am flying to Jtown for a conference on Early Hearing Detection Intervention. My parent advocacy job is paying for me to go. P will drive down to Fl Monday with the kids. Wednesday they will come and pick me up. I can't believe how awesome the timing and location is for me to go on this trip. Yay!
On the flight in to Jtown a person in my row was also going to the conference so we shared a lyft to the hotel. When we got her I met several members sitting at various tables. It has been truely amazing. When I went to a conference in Atlanta for Language First it was fun, but I didn't know anyone. Here I already feel like I have 6 people I can hang out with. I even got the contact for the Early Intervention providers in Amerian Samoa. P told me to do a lot of networking and I'm definitely doing that.

Baby Roo
I'm reading Whinnie the Pooh with L and B. B is enjoying it a lot more. He is so delightful and really enjoys these stories. Last night we read about how Rabbit was acting nimby about Kanga and baby Roo. Rabbit contrives a scheme to kidnap baby Roo to get Kanga to leave the 100 acre woods. It's horrific. In the end Rabbit and Pooh end up friends with Kanga and Roo, while Piglet who was most roped into the scheme gets the most blame.
I was discussing this with L today on the way to school; acknowledging that it was a horrible idea, and that hate comes from ignorance. Once Rabbit knew Roo, they were friends. God knows us, and loves us.
