what a great way to avoid homework!
so I made this blog the other day when I was on some crazy high--I'm beginning to wonder if I'm not manic depressive or something--as a way to entertain myself, thinking I'd probably never look at it again, but wow, it is a great way to waste time when my brain doesn't want to focus on homework.
So as I was doing some research it occured to me that the title of this blog should probably be explained. So this summer, I worked with special needs adults and one of my clients and I really bonded. She loved me. She called me Becker and for hours on end she would say over and over again, "I love you Becker. Do you know why I love you? Because you're my bestfriend. Did you know that Becker? I love you." We had some good times together--watching TV in the hospital together, drawing goofy pictures of the staff, off roading with her wheelchair, and watching the cars go by while sitting on the porch while she drank endless amounts of coffee--blah, I don't understand coffee drinkers. So by the end of the summer, all the rest of the clients, the other staff and my whole family had taken to calling me Becker. So this past weekend I was up in Three Hills, and I ran into her. I wasn't sure if she'd remember me but it turns out I made a lasting impression. Before I was anywhere close to her I could hear her calling out, "Becker! It's my Becker. I love my Becker." Ah... i miss my summer job now...well, now that I've wasted ten minutes I guess I should hit the books again.
This is Becker signing off! Ciao!
Oops! I almost signed off too soon without telling about one of the best things I've heard in a while. So I was walking to school enjoying the glorious morning--it was warm enough to wear flipflops! For those of you who live in the south, this really is incredible for us canucks. So I ran into this guy from school and we started talking on our way to class and it came up that I'm an MK and he looks at me and says, "Aren't MKs troubled?" I just about died laughing. Talk about a generalization! It was pretty incredible. My Mk roomie and I had a good laugh over it later! I think I've met just as many troubled non-mks as I have troubled MKs. I love the crazy ridiculous things that people think about MKs. However, I'm discovering that I have some misconceptions about non-MKs. Ah, anyhow, this is the not so troubled MK signing off for real this time! Have a fabulous evening and hopefully you'll get more done than I am!
