Back on the bandwagon. Yes, it is true. I'm back.
I have once again started to blog. Trendy? Yup, well that's just me.
I have this friend, one of my besties if you will, and she lives in a land far, far away. She and I usually email back and forth. That is great and everything, but emails are just ugly. Blog posts are prettier. So here I am, a new blog at my fingertips and an audience of one. Thats ok, because this blog, it is for you! Made for you.
February 14th. A day full of love. I handmade Valentines, wore a pink cardigan, and enjoyed lots of candy with some special friends! Sounds like a 70 year old woman, right? Oh well.
Today was also the day of a job fair/recruitment session for FSOS and Youth Studies. I went. And it was the straight up definition of an awkward moment. Tiny atrium in McNeal, lots of students hoping someone will offer them the perfect, well paid job/internship, and 10 or so non-profits hoping to inform students about programs they can volunteer with. Everyone shuffles around, looking, trying not to make eye contact, but yet trying to make some sort of conversation to avoid the obvious awkward atmosphere. They also tell us to dress nicely and bring resumes....ok....how exactly do I get across the point that I really am a well educated, nicely dressed, prepared student when I am clomping around with a jacket, backpack, lunch bag, purse and four classes worth of materials? This just does not work well. It was a nice try, but after making myself listen to two groups' spiels, I had to be done. In the end, I walked out with a pamphlet from the Public Health Associate Program and College Possible. Both are actually interesting programs that I will look at again in the future. Shockingly, the fair helped.
I responded to a ListServ email about volunteering in a 1st grade classroom a couple weeks ago. I was very excited and responded with the times I was available. The literacy block and the math block were the times that worked in my schedule. It has been almost 2 weeks...and I haven't heard back. You'd think if you're asking for help, and someone offers...you'd respond? Guess not.
Beautiful Blooms?
A Year of Memories?
May I interest you in a workshop? Yesterday I got the pleasure of assisting in a class at work (Beautiful Blooms). It was awesome. I've always gotten the sense from our instructors that they HATE teaching...I enjoyed it. I must be the weird one...what else is new? Ha. Next week, I get to have my own class! And it is a scrapbooking one! A Year of Memories. I am actually happy. We'll see how I feel next week after the first class I guess.
To celebrate this special day of LOVE, I've had two tests so far and one more to go. That's the wonderful life of a college student I guess.
Tomorrow I have meeting with my FUMP mentor, Jen. It has been fantastic meeting with her the past few weeks. I'll most likely come home inspired about my future, so hopefully you'll get to enjoy an optimistic post!
Happy Valentine's Day! Go listen to some Kimbra!
With LOVE
