Mind = Blown

I completed my first day of training for Designated School Officials and my brain is sooooo fried.  There are so many rules and regulations to know for how to handle different case scenarios for these students.  I am glad our presenter does not just lecture, though....I would not be able to handle it all in lecture form.  Thankfully, he gives us cases that we have to research with a buddy and present what we think the appropriate action or decision should be based on the regulations  :)  I am actually not bad at interpreting the jargon in the rules.  The presenter created different cases that are dropped into funny situations with cartoon or sci-fi characters.  That part is fun....so I'm thankful for that :)

I have one very funny, embarrassing story from today.  So, I was chatting with a lady from a different college during a break and we walked toward the bathrooms on the level of our conference room.  There was a line, so we decided to take the stairs down a level to use the facilities.  We were talking about our minds being blown as we walked into the restroom.  Then, we just stood there....stunned... until the horror hit us that we had walked into the men's restroom.....completely....door had shut and everything.....THANK THE LORD, there was no one in there.  We didn't even know each other before that conversation/incident....yet we panicked together like BFFs...."GET OUT... GET OUT!....laughing and pushing each other"  I walked back into the session after she did and she was in the middle of a group of people....all the sudden the group turned to look at me in slow motion and everyone was laughing.  She's like, "I just told them our story!"  I acted embarrassed, but I KNEW we all needed some comic relief.....this stuff is grueling....yep, that's my story!  I was hesitant to tell Brad when I got back to the room for the day because he already feels like he can't take me anywhere :)  Even though he didn't find the story as hilarious as I do....he was amused.

I like the hotel where we are staying, but the pillow is a bit uncomfortable.

Kidding!  BUT, I WISH I COULD GET THIS INFO INTO MY BRAIN BY OSMOSIS...SERIOUSLY!
