Summer School

I'm in summer school from June 4th to the end of July.

I'm taking a history course and a science course. I was going to take an online computer course, but I decided to take it in an actual class, because I'm an idiot when it comes to computers and need all the help I can get.

So far I like the classes. My science class is 5 hours a day twice a week, so it is a little long. We usually get a few breaks, because it's probably pretty tiring for the instructor as well.

Next week in class we're going out to the pond to catch snakes. I'm pretty excited about it.

I started an internship at the mayor's office to get experience with writing. I hope it helps me out. It's OK, but office work is kind of boring.

Good luck with work or school this summer, everyone.

Didn't Get the Job, Schedule for Summer and Fall

I didn't get the telemarketing job (renewal, actually) because it didn't fit my schedule. Maybe in May I can do it. They wanted me to work 35 hours the first 2 weeks and then 20 hours (with 5 on a Saturday or Sunday) the rest of the time, with me scheduling the 20 hours myself. That doesn't seem too bad

The school published the list for summer and fall and now I have a general idea of what I'll be taking in (I hope) my last two semesters of college. I'm taking 3 classes this summer and 6 classes in the fall, but 2 out of 6 classes are online and one is an internship.

Plus I have 2 volunteer assignments that I hope I can hold onto.

I hope I'll be busy enough.

Getting Back into Blogging

I'm going to try blogging again.

My life really isn't that interesting, but I want to be a writer, and blogging could help me improve my writing.

I'm on Spring Break right now, and the semester's half complete, so I have plenty of time to write, study languages, listen to music, visit the www.how-to-learn-any-language.com forums, and do other stuff I like.

Oh, and I started going to the gym recently to lose weight. It's going well so far. I'm also using www.myfitnesspal.com, which is helping me manage my calorie intake and usage.

I dropped Medical Assisting in favor of Technical Communications, and I might graduate by the end of the year. I'm not suited to working in healthcare, at least not working directly with patients.

I have an interview for a customer service position with a publisher on Monday. I hope I get the job, because it would be a good way to earn money and kill some time.

I'm volunteering at Project Learn in the advanced ESL class on Thursday nights and at Mercy Medical Center in Canton on Friday mornings. I enjoy volunteering and hope I can do it for as long as possible.

Right now I'm studying Esperanto and Spanish. I'm using the correspondance courses on www.lernu.net to study Esperanto and because I want to learn how to read Spanish I'm using Karl Sandberg's "Spanish for Reading."

That's about all I have going on. Like I said, I'm not very interesting.

Interview at Walgreens

Today I had an interview at Walgreens for a clerk position.

I doubt I'll get the job since I have no cash handling or customer service experience, but you never know. There are still plenty of pther jobs out there that might hire me. I have an interview on Monday for a position at Cedar Point and I'm confident I'll get the job, since I've worked there before.

Well, we'll see.
