Well, my week has been nothing short of average to overwhelming. And here's why. For starters, I managed to do a speech about my Autism at the same place I did my 'Cert. 3 in Ed Support', where although I was able to present it, I was visibly shaking, and I don't think I did very well, cause hardly anyone, save for one or two people (the staff there at the time) asked me questions about living with Autism. Maybe that's cause I had it written so well, that people couldn't think of what to ask, or they didn't like it very much. Hard to say. When I left though, and said goodbye, it reminded me, for a split second, of my first job working part time as a Teacher's aide at a primary school. I won't say which one for privacy sake, but I will say I enjoyed it muchly, to say the least.
Although, afterwards, I didn't receive much, besides a thanks or two for being there, and for taking some time out of my day to be there. I mean, I could've gotten a little something. Maybe a $20 gift card, for say, a gaming shop, or getting books or something? You know? And to make matters just that little bit worse, the job agency I'm with wants me to find my own job, while they 'help' in their own way. Naturally I wasn't feeling too good about that, because I originally had to search for 10 jobs within a fortnight, but mercifully got changed to 5 in a fortnight, because it would be easier for me. And then, the icing on the cake, to top my already average week, was yesterday. I was really looking forward to helping a friend of mine learn how to cook a simple recipe, but they bailed on me when I contacted them, saying they weren't going to be home.
Well, that did it for me. So, I'd now gone from an average week to an overwhelming week. At this point, I'd been feeling down in the dumps, not really feeling happy. Not even talking to my friends on the Xbox One seemed to help improve my mood. So, sister #1 in my family, Sarah, took me out (or dragged me out, whatever you want to say) to go pet shopping for a guinea pig. And you know what? I think that those few minutes I was out with my sister, shopping for food, sawdust, hay, and the guinea pigs themselves improved my already downcast mood. I got a little black fur coloured female guinea pig, with white paws, whom I named 'Radar', because when they were squeaking the way they do, it got louder and louder when they were with my sister, but with me, they were as quiet as could be. Not unlike a sonar radar on a navy ship, or on those military jets.
After rushing home, and getting them settled in, with sister #1's new guinea pig friends, 'Bubble' and 'Squeak', and my one, 'Radar', we rushed off to a local pool, with a gym upstairs too. We signed up for it, my sister and I, as part of a '$50 for 5 weeks' plan, which means that for just $10 a week, we'd have access to the Sauna, pool, and gym facilities to use as we need to. And then, if we like it, we can get a membership plan for it.
And, we got these really goofy looking electronic wristbands with an electronic chip in there, which acts like a membership card for the gym and pool, so having that to look forward to, and a new pet to take care of, that's going to feel a whole lot better to be totally honest. Now, I have something to do, and a new pet take care of in the meantime, while I'm not working. And just to be clear, it's not through lack of trying with working, it's the opposite. I've tried my hardest to find something ob wise, but I've still been unsuccessful so far. I'm sure I'll find something though. Bye for now everyone, and stay cool. Oh, and by the way, I think I'm just gonna take a break for about a week. I guess I just need some time to myself
