Spring Semester

Wm did GREAT at his first major service event! The whole first hour, he was pretty much on Puppy Duty. There was a little 2 month old puppy there who just needed someone to keep constant watch over her...and that was Wm's job! Here was his charge:

Wm: "I can't imagine someone NOT wanting to adopt this puppy!"

The puppy was then whisked away for other duties and Wm got a little bored. He asked about every 15 minutes how much longer we had. It wasn't the most exciting event, so I got it. I was a bit bored, myself!! But, overall, Wm did GREAT!! And, it's helping us narrow down how he likes to volunteer his time. He prefers walking the dogs to adoption events, so that's good to know. This weekend, we are going to work in the Shelter Shop. We'll see how that goes! Hopefully, after trying lots of stuff, he'll figure out what and where he likes to be most of all and we can focus up on that. Right now, we're dipping our toes in lots of places.

Today is the first day of Wm's spring semester classes. He got his schedule this morning (nothing like waiting until the last minute!) He will be taking:

Regions & People II - Eastern Hemisphere
The Animal Kingdom
Algebra I
American Literature

He's a little nervous about the Animal Kingdom class since he says the teacher is "known to be mean." He LOVES his Algebra teacher, so hopefully, that will offset things. Yesterday was career day and Wm heard from a molecular geneticist, a video producer, a zoologist, and was supposed to hear from a lawyer, but they no-showed on the kids! So, instead, Wm heard from a culinary arts person and got coupons to a sushi place not far from our house. I guess that's a win. His favorite was the molecular geneticist - not surprising!

Last, this made me laugh super hard. Wm was downstairs and called that we had to come down right away to see how cute Flip was being. Steve yelled, "I'll be right down!" But it took him about 5 minutes to get down there since he was finishing something up. Wm did not like that one bit. Steve then received this text, dripping with sarcasm:

That's m'boy!
