Day Eight

Today was more relaxed and not as stressful as yesterday was. We got back to our normal routine and about half way through I was told to stay by two residents named Audrey and Lydia. They both have to have constant supervision because they get up constantly and cannot walk on their own. So, I was supervising while everyone else did our group session and set up for lunch. Lydia only speaks Spanish though so it’s a bit difficult to work with her because I only can interpret a little bit of what she says. She also gets very impatient and annoyed with me sometimes because she knows I don't understand her and I told her that. So whenever she gets difficult, Bernardo comes over to help me out because he can speak Spanish. Bernardo is one of the workers at Woodcrest. So together we took care of Audrey and Lydia until it was lunchtime. I'm looking forward to tomorrow because I'm starting to pick up some of the Spanish again. Maybe I will be able to answer Lydia's questions soon.
