04-26-16: Another New Day

5:39am
I don't know why I woke up so early but here I am.
Today, I get my certificate for completing Anger Management which will be an asset when I go to apply for a job. You'd think that attending this class would mean that I had severe anger issues but actually I don't. A lot of the people in my class have been ordered to attend Anger Management by the court because they have become aggressive with other people. I took the class to learn how to deal with those sort of situations and people like this because I might run into them when I'm counseling. As for my anger issues...sure everyone gets angry because it's an emotion we all have. It's how you handle it that counts. I've found that on my anger meter I've reached upset and annoyed. We have to report in every week as to what level we've reached.

Funny thing about this class is that I've learned that most people in it are very nice when they are in control but they can get scary when they are not. I think that attending this class has really helped me to realize that I can be around angry people if I don't react. Usually angry people just need someone to listen to them. I've also realized that their anger is not directed at me, personally, but at a situation and that many times when they are allowed to just talk it out they feel relieved that they got it out and someone listened to them vent. All in all it's been a very helpful class for me and I'm glad that I took it.
 
6:11am
Well, it's time for a cup of hot coffee and then on to work on my Primitive Blog!

7:45pm
Art class was cut short because they wanted to close the restaurant early. It was no biggie. I only lost about 30 minutes of class because of that I was early to bingo. I won $5, but it cost me $6 to play so actually it only cost me a dollar.

I am going with my friend, Mona, to see The Jungle Book after class tomorrow and on Sunday, after church, I'm going to go see The Huntsman with my friends Rachel and Bernice. What a great weekend!

Tomorrow I get a certificate for completing my WELL classes. That's going to look great on my application to PET. I really am grateful that God is blessing me so bountifully.
