Going Nowhere Fast
Today marks the 20th birthdays of both Mary and Shannon, best wishes to both of you and because both of you are at home, I hope your moms made you delicious cake! Right now, Claire, Courtney, and I are hanging out at the Park Ridge Public Library. We are not getting a lot done but we can attribute that to our teacher that assigned a project that is virtually impossible to complete.. thanks Jenmy, we owe you one.. NOT. But this library reminds me of so many different times. As a child, I loved the library. Most of you are well aware that I am a complete dork and love to read so I'm a big fan of the library but not today. It also reminds me of that babysitting class I took in the basement. I was so shy that I wouldn't answer one question and almost hyperventilated when we were learning CPR I was so nervous (that wasn't the only time.) Junior year of high school in my PE Leaders gym class we had a CPR unit. Our teacher, decided for the final test he would randomly pick one student from the class to demonstrate and we would all be graded on that performance. Naturally I was nervous due to the fact that I fold under pressure. Any one sitting near me knew just how nervous I was.. you think my hands sweat normally, you should have seen me then. My entire shirt was wet from sweat and I was physically shaking. Luckily, I was too short to be seen (the one time it has come in handy being short) and someone else was picked. This year, I had to get re-certified in CPR and I did it online. Is that legal? Debatable for sure but oh well.. I'm pretty sure I would be able to save most of you :) A little off tangent from the library but I needed that. Hope the rest of you aren't doing homework on this unusually warm Monday but stay inside because there's a tornado warning.. be safe!
