Life in General

Not much going on here. Basically getting ready for the holidays, putting off homework and reading h.com. This Yom Tov season should be interesting because not only do I have school (an am missing school) but I also have work right after each Chag, so if I might just fall asleep during one of students temper tantrums this coming sunday (well that would be an interesting story and I seem to be lacking with those recently). Actually this week was quite dramatic at work, for the first time in my life I was attacked by a person who was bigger then me and for the first time I was in charge of protecting others from attack. This is all very new because I am used to violence with little children involved (being that I generally work with young mentally handicapped girls). When I am attacked by a person smaller then I, it is easy (ok easier) to handle the situation. Although it is usually painful I can most of time manage to get the person under control or at least out of range. This sunday I realized that when a person larger then you attacks (even if it is less vicious), it is a lot scarier because you feel defenseless. Now add another factor, I found when you are responsible for another and they are in danger (especially when they do not know or understand they are in danger) the fear is indescribable. B"H nothing really happened in the end and I did walk away more shaken then anything else but boy was it an eye opening experience (one I hope never to have to repeat).
See life is never dull.
