friends It's Summer! Dear Friends and Family, My classes have been over since the beginning of the month...actually, since the last week of April. I didn't have any finals, which I was VERY happy about, so I was finished with everything a week earlier than most students. I did well in my classes, and I'm definitely happy that the semester is over. I've been working at least two days a week, an average of three hours each day. On the days I'm not working, I've pretty much just been sitting around the house reading or spending time online. The break, and the chance to be lazy, has been nice; I've been enjoying the reprieve from the myriad responsibilities that go hand in hand with school. I've been enjoying my work at the Food Court at the college. After I learned all the ins and outs of the job, things have been going very smoothly. The Dining Services department also does catering events, and I've been helping out with that some along with my work in the Food Court. Doing the catering is hectic and very hard on my feet, but I usually don't complain, because the extra money is nice. Summer classes began today. Hours at the Food Court are cut drastically during the summer, because there aren't as many people on campus to feed and there are lots of employees who want to work. I'm trying to find another job to supplement my income over the summer. I've been looking for a summer babysitting job. I'm currently pursuing one with two boys, ages 10 and 13. The mother is taking a list of names and will be getting back with a few for interviews, so I'm not even guaranteed and interview for it. I'm hoping that I'll be able to find something soon, but so far nothing has looked extremely promising. I'll be taking one summer class this semester. It's a two-week intensive class, which means it meets Monday-Thursday for two weeks (a 10-day class). It's a music methods class, which means we'll be learning how to teach music in elementary schools. I don't think that it will be very hard. I think my main problem with the class will be that it meets every day from 8:30 in the morning til 12:30. That's a long time to be in class! I'm sure I can put up with it for ten days, though, no matter how bad it is (I'll HAVE to put up with it for ten days no matter how bad it is!). I'll be taking that class starting July 13th. Even though I'm hoping to have two jobs over the summer, I will have time for relaxation and fun, mainly in the form of a family vacation. We're planning to take the ENTIRE family this year - Dad, Mom, Phillip, me, Jonathan, Shawna, and Coppelia. I'm very excited about being able to spend this time with them. Right now the plan is to take Jonathan's boat to a lake a couple hours from here for a week. I think that's about it. I'll try not to wait so long between updates this time. :-P ><> Amy <>< My Last 5 Updates |
