I need $1597.80 to go to Hungary and register for a language course. This includes airfare, a visa, traveler's insurance, and course registration (but not books and other supplies). I need to get there by September 10th if I want to take the 14-week evening language course and get the part-time job I wanted/sort of have lined up. I also need about ( Read more... )

So, I have a dilemma related to my job. Right now I am on a 2-week trial employment period, which means I might not be hired (I get paid for the hours I work during the two weeks). Also, I am not so good with the class room control and the discipline. In fact, I suck at it. The job is fun, but I can't really control the kids when they're being bad ( Read more... )

Today I was in the baby room because the woman who usually works there had an emergency and there was only one person with 8 kids. The babies were easier to take care of than the toddlers are, because you can trick babies into being happy by smiling really big and saying "Smile [Baby's Name]!". Man, I wish I were a baby, then creepy dudes on the ( Read more... )

Work is good, I might get full time hours (at least for the summer) if I do the summer camp. I think I'll find out at the end of the week. I'm also going to put up fliers for house cleaning part time to make some extra cash. I'm going to ask Amanda if she wants to do it with me, and we can split the money or split jobs. I'll ask for $15/hr. If I ( Read more... )

I actually really, really, want this ( Read more... )

For some reason I am having a very hard time living at home again. It's not that I'm fighting with anyone or that the situation is especially stressful or even different than it's been for the past two years, it's just that after a week I still haven't adjusted. Adjusted is probably the right word. Being here is both lonely because nobody who lives ( Read more... )

I finally got a call back for a teaching assistant position at a nursery. Haha. I bet you read 'teaching assistant' and thought it was related to graduate school, but no, it's a job where I teach adorable children songs and play with them and clean up when they go home. I really want it though, because I like teaching kids and toddlers are much ( Read more... )

I am full of plans. Plans that may or may not ever come to fruition, but plans none the less ( Read more... )

I am looking for a job, and a housekeeping position pays better than entry level office admin. with a min requirement of a BA and 1 year of prior experience.

This was the strangest weekend. It was superlative. Saturday I graduated. Sunday I went to my grandfather's funeral. Today I'm back in Philadelphia ( Read more... )
