On the job

I'm a week deep into my speech job now, but still not working with the kiddos yet. Hopefully I can get the speech schedule organized and start therapy next week. I'm learning to balance two completely separate work sites...I need double the office supplies, but there is no way I can afford enough therapy materials for both sites, so I am the proud new owner of a bright blue and yellow plastic rolling cart to lug all my speech materials. I look pretty darn cool rolling my cart through the ghetto =)
My speech rooms are less than spectacular, in fact, one of them I'm not sure I can call a room, its more like a closet. The walls are in desperate need of a fresh coat of paint, and the computers and phones are from the early 90s. That's my colorful bulletin board peeking in the background, I had to make my room happy for the upcoming year! That computer does word processing and that's it, there is no internet access, and my other site has no computer at all. Rumor is the speech department will be getting laptops soon...keeping my fingers crossed for that! Today I brought the outdoors into my dreary room by creating a cheerful tree on the wall. Now I don't have to look at the peeling paint. If you look carefully at the photo, you can tell the chair is circa 1972. Oh, and check out the crazy key to my speech "closet"...my little brother says it looks like something out of Harry Potter...
Scott and I are still crashing at my parent's house. Our apartment will be ready this weekend..woohoo!
