I was up all night again. Those who know me well would not be surprised to hear that. I did not have to force myself though, my sleeping pattern is awry is all. I got a lot of work done through the night, both in Fee's class and this one, so I felt good about myself.
I tried to complete the professional development requirement today at the Agana Library. I met Robito and Geri there, but, alas, we were all turned away. They did not accept volunteers unless we had both a police clearance and a court clearance, so you can imagine our disappointment. We were running out of time. Robito and Geri left, but I stayed to experience the reading session. My wife and daughter came with me to the library, so we just had our daughter attend the session. I did not regret it. It looked like a great program! My daughter was entertained from the very beginning all the way to the moment we had to drag her out the door three hours later.
Through the session, however, I had a conversation with the Program Coordinator. I mentioned to him my dilemma being turned away for volunteering. He told me that we did not have to get court clearance or police clearance because we are not "volunteering" for anything. Instead we are fulfilling a requirement for a class. He told me that next Saturday we should just call him before we head down, that way he can intercept us and bypass the people at the front desk. He said that next Saturday will be a big day, so they would probably need our help anyways. I intend to go. My daughter will be expecting me to.
