Got the teaching job.  The interview went really well.  The school is not what I expected.  It was cooler than I thought.  It was very homey and everyone has great respect and love for each other.  Apparently, they had a lot of drama with past teachers: the teacher they had last walked out on them.  Very devastating for the kids.  So the principal ( Read more... )

I had prolly one of the biggest STUPID moments of my life earlier this morning.  So, I get up a little late for my internship.  I was planning on getting up at 8:30am, leave by 9am and be at Norton by 9:45am and grab a quick breakfast at McDonalds before going in at 10am.  Well, I woke up at 9:06am, then got to Manhattan by 9:58am.  I grabbed a ( Read more... )

Well, hello there.  I am positively, madly, truly and deeply in love with the fact that I can definitely come visit u and the fam next week Thursday.  Even if I do get this museum tour guide position, training doesnt start til February 1st!

Ok, so I had a random dream last night that I won $45 million.  Then, I woke up.  The way I I found out I was dreaming, ironically, was...during my  dream.  U know those dreams where u are so content because ur most deepest desires and wishes come true???? Well, have u ever like realized IN ur dream that u were dreaming and that ur dream was JUST a ( Read more... )

Ok, so I might be sick, have the biggest snot cold in the world, and have a cough that would send elephants running....but....I had a delicious day today. I started my internship with W. W. Norton & Company, and I was so delighted.  Ok, so I got lost on the way there, and made it just in the nick of time, but u didnt hear it from me. I was all ( Read more... )

My internship with Norton starts today at 10am.  Wish me luck. I get so nervous sometimes, but then, it's overpowered with an overwhelming sense of new adventure and a drastic change to my daily routine. Looking so forward to it!
