An Alexander Kind of Day

So today should have been a fabulous day since I started my new internship at the SC Arts Commission, however it was not. I had a not so good weekend so I woke up in a not so good mood. Because of my yuck weekend I decided to spend one more night at home so I had to get up early to drive the two hours back to Columbia, and everyone knows how much I hate to drive. I did enjoy my first day at the SCAC. I didn't do anything terribly exciting but I got to meet lots of new people so that was fun. I also got to reformat documents which described people's job descriptions which seems lame, but it was a good way to really see what some people at the SCAC really do. After I got off at two I then headed over to my second job (I have three this summer). I was supposed to pick up the kids I babysit from school so I headed to Polo Road Elementary. I then waited in the carpool line like a good mommy and finally it began to move. One teacher asked me who I was there to pick up and retorted back that they must be new because she didn't know them. I didn't think anything of this seeing as they are new because they moved here from Texas at the beginning of the school year. I then proceeded down the carpool line to pick up the kiddies. Two more teachers gave me confused looks when I told them who I was there to pick up and then a fourth one told me they did an all-call and there were no kids by the names that I gave them. At this point I began to panic and I called their mom to find out they go to Round Top Elementary. WHERE IN THE WORLD DID I COME UP WITH POLO ROAD?????? I felt so dumb and then had the realization that those teachers at Polo Road probably thought I was a crazy kidnapper or something! So then I hurried off to the right school to pick them up. I apologized for being late and then we drove home to play and eat snacks. Then I had to take one of them to a baseball game where I got to sit in the rain because the lovely coaches refused to cancel it. Oh well. His mom came to my rescue very soon and let me go home, where I am now writing this blog instead of eating dinner even though I'm starving but there are strange people in my living room and I don't feel like being social. Hopefully, they'll leave soon or I'll just eat candy for dinner :)
