I'm thinking about deleting this thing. I'm not in college/ high school anymore. And now that there are facebook status updates and twitters to do livejournal seems obsolete.

I have about four months left of my AmeriCorps term. I can't wait for it to be over, but I'm also a little worried about what I'm going to do next. It would be really nice to find a decently paying job, but I haven't had good luck with that in the past. I'd like not to be unemployed again. I thought about applying for a teaching fellowship in ( Read more... )

I'm home from work today because of the ice storm. It looks like things are melting outside, so I might head to the Hadley store in a bit to get some more Christmas gifts and get some wrapping done by the Step participants another AmeriCorps member is working with (if you need any gift wrapped go to Barnes & Noble in Hadley between 3 and 9 today, ( Read more... )

I'm working in Orange. I like it so far, but I hate the commute. The girl I've been tutoring got an 80 on her last test, which was pretty cool. She was excited about it, and it felt good to have helped. I'm going to be working with her a lot. She's an interesting kid. I like doing the drop-ins at the library. Thursday we're having a half-assed ( Read more... )

We climbed Tully Mt. with Nate's family yesterday. It was a really awesome time. The first time we've done that in a while, and the first time with my new leg and non-smoking. It was still tough, but definitely better than before. Going down was rough, though, because my leg isn't really set for steep declines. I don't want to go down a mountain at ( Read more... )

Americorps offered me a position. I have to get back to them by Monday. I'm pretty sure I'm going to say yes. I want to give my notice at Target like right now. I can't take much more of it there. So ridiculously awful. But I'm going to probably need a second job, so depending on my hours with Americorps, I feel like I should keep Target there as ( Read more... )

Nate is sick, and I want him to stop ( Read more... )

So, working at Target fucking sucks and everyday my hopes of doing something meaningful die a little. I can't find a job at a school, or even at a better store. My phonecalls and emails to potential employers go unanswered. I'm starting to accept that fact that I work at Target and consider what it would be like to move up in the ranks, wich is ( Read more... )

I am now licensed to teach English to 8-12 graders. Now I just need to find a job. I mailed my stuff to Springfield yesterday. I called their human resources office today and the guy who answered wasn't very helpful, but he gave me another number for the person who hires people for the schools. I emailed her, but I should also call. I figure my ( Read more... )

I can't even get a job as a paraprofessional/ esp. This is starting to get really depressing. If Ellerie wasn't here I'd be crying. I've been trying to find a real job for over a year, I've had a million interviews, and I've had no luck. Target or the YMCA seem to be my only options. I really don't get it.
