swollen feet

i want a new tattoo. not really sure why, and i'm still deciding between a couple of things to get, but why not? after all, they're representative of different stages/seasons of my life. i know i want it to be on my back, right under my neck where the bone is. it'll probably hurt, but can't be too bad. we'll see. or maybe i'll just get another piercing. i've been itching to do something different these past couple of weeks, and i guess it came down to this :P

long weekends are nice. ugh. it feels so great not to have to wake up at 6am. i've been sleeping in til 11ish the last two days, which is so weird cos i never really have the chance to sleep in. too bad that monday comes so soon after the weekend, haha. but at least i'm lucky. while my job tires me out, i'm thankful that i enjoy it a lot. so much so that i wish someone would create a whole school-year long program just like this. it means so much to these kids that they feel special. these are the kids that are always in trouble, and have privileges taken away from them. at the camp, we make them put all that aside. they're never punished, except for the handful of timeouts, and everyone has a chance to get daily awards and to go on weekly field trips. it's pretty amazing to see the smiles on these kids faces, smiles that not many people get to see because they have such low self-esteem.

i feel like every time i write a new post, i start by writing about a random topic, but i always seem to go back to writing about the kids i work with. haha, obsessed much? whatever though, they're worth it. sometimes i feel like they're my own kids cos i'm with them so much :D

anyway, my right foot is currently very swollen due to multiple mosquito bites around my ankle. there are so many and they're so swollen that they actually HURT! ugh. i don't even know what to do to make it feel better.

enough of the randomness. church tomorrow and i can't exactly wake up at 11ish again.
til next time, have a good night :)
