words when you need 'em

i have to say this cause its a massage day....

Yesterday I was scheduled to work on a cancer patient for my special populations program. Unfortunately I completely didn't bother to call and check if she was still scheduled. But that was ok, cause I wanted to spa a bit and I was meeting my classmate Mena so we could study after her shift.

Well, one of the regular massage therapists, asked if I could work on her instead. I was fine with it and I guess I got to get an hour's credit for the work! But the best part was this: Near the end of our session together, Carolyn says to me, "You can tell. You were supposed to be a massage therapist."

That meant so much to me esp when a few days before I was even thinking of quitting school. (yeah I was THAT depressed). And i told her so right there.

She tells me later that she gave my name to the lady that does the hiring. "The next opening, you have to offer it to Tessa, " she said. That mighta been smoke but it was a nice thing to say and she tipped me real nice too....
