well, day four, and I'm starting to really get the lay of the land, so to speak. working more independently instead of the "hand holding".

plus the other counselor and I finally sat down with the Principal and hammered out some things of what I'll be doing and not doing.

so basically I won't be doing college applications and transcripts.

but I'll be doing the...

so day one went off without a hitch. a whirlwind of activity in some ways (getting computer access, getting onto School Master, getting paperwork done), but a fun whirlwind. met way too many people, most of who I will not remember. even helped a student some (he's looking into Forestry and Conservation).

also found out that I'm working with 3 8:1:1 students. all three are...

well, today is day one...got a few books, my audiobooks in my car, laptop and some other equipment packed up!

showered and shaved, gotta get dressed (shirt and tie) and get ready to leave.

2 hours of driving (give or take) and then time for some fun!

yay!

well, today, I was supposed to start, however, the Principal was thinking (and I agree) that Monday would be better.....because:

1. Fridays are kind of hectic at times...and the entire "end of the week thing"
2. Homecoming week, so I would get lost in the shuffle.

also, I managed to cut out about 20 miles using my Garmin by changing from shortest time to shortest...

thanks everyone for the congrats on my last blog....I think the next few days will be spent going through and writing a thank you on each person's blog. it was quite interesting to have someone I have never had contact with (Ragdoll) comment....but I'm not complaining!


outside of that, not too much else to say. the one thing that bites is that the trip is...

well, just got off the phone with Dundee Central School District.

a fairly quick conversation.

not really much to talk about.

so, yeah.

I"m a bastard, aren't I?

well, I have a plan for Monday and Tuesday...given my personality and how I am, this is highly impressive people, just so you know (I barely have anything planned out for the next day!)

Monday:

hear back from Dundee...if I got the job, great, call Wegmans and get my shifts filled. if I did not get the job, plan B goes into action:

1. ask...

well, I interviewed and was told that there were others being interviewed.

I was also told I would hear back either this afternoon (IE, by now) or on Monday. well, so far, I have heard nothing.

seriously...is this another job I didn't get?


yeah, education is really starting to suck to get into! hear about a classmate who popped pills getting a job. and I...

well, interview tomorrow at 11:30 at the Dundee Central School District for a 6 week long-term sub position.

gee, think they're desperate? I e-mailed the Principal yesterday and today, without receiving anything, she wants to interview!

wish me luck!

so woke up today pretty bummed. the lack of a job and the piling debt I'm facing is not something to help my mood. seriously.

what really gets me is the fact that I am in part to blame for this. if I did this or did that, then things would be different. I'm the type that always replays scenarios in my head...and I've been...
