Wednesday, 8 December, 2010

This morning I helped Sol get breakfast and ready for school.

Jessica started her first day at work after a 13-week leave of absence (for back-surgery) yesterday. Today was day two back for her. She was able to get out of the house before Sol left for the bus.

After Sol caught the bus on time, I cleaned up a little around the house and went to school.

I spent a couple of hours in the MCTC Library studying for my Posi-Psyche test on Monday.

I also spent some time reviewing for the quiz in HRTB that is due before Sunday night.

I was able to receive my grant money remaining from this semester at the Financial Services Office a couple of days ago. Because my award letter finally came, I was also able to officially apply for a student loan to help me get through the next semester and a half. My unemployment is running out and I've had no success at finding a job as of yet.

I went to Pop-Culture Class today, but had to leave 45 minutes early so I could be sure I was home when Sol got home and off the bus. (He didn't have a PCA lined up for today, so I spent the afternoon with him).

It was a great afternoon spending time with Sol. He voluntarily did all of his homework (Math and Grammar/Spelling) and even wanted to do Math flashcards with me for fun!

He and I then went on the computer and joined a Fantasy Basketball League together. He's been showing an interest in fantasy sports, and I thought it would be a good experience for us to join a free league together. I plan on focusing on the "fun" aspect of fantasy sports, as well as helping him understand the importance of having fun over winning or losing. (It's not about winning or losing, it's how you play the game... and ultimately, are you having fun?)

He was on the computer longer than he probably should have been because when it was time to get ready for bed, he acted out a little bit and had a low-level fit.

He did fine getting over it, and took his meds while watching a movie with Jessica and I before going to bed.
