I'm changing my profession!

Yup. I still haven't found a job. My account at WaMu is severely dwindling down to nothing. To top it off, I was denied unemployment insurance by the evil nice and unhelpful people at Oregon Unemployment. You see, apparently you can't go to school while collecting unemployment. So, I am considering something that I thought I would never do.

Yup, I'm joining the circus. I'm not sure what my talent will be, but I'm thinking that before you know it, I will be the most famous elephant rider trapezist lion tamer ticket collector you've seen on this side of the Mississippi. Wish me luck as I embark on my new journey!

So, first off, I'm soooo sorry for not posting for over a month....all I can say is that I've been sooo busy. Since school got back in session, we've been working like madmen trying to get senior stuff done. Anyway, there are a few new things going on for me and I thought you'd like to know.

To head things off, a couple of days after my last blog, I decided to put in my 2 weeks notice at my job. God has been talking to me for awhile about how I needed to leave for multiple reasons, and I just knew it was what I was supposed to do. So I put my faith in Him, and He didn't disappoint. Here I am less than 2 weeks after my old job ended, and alas, I have a new job!
For those who didn't know, some of the main reasons I left my previous job was because it wasn't enough pay, or enough hours. My new job, at Morgan Stanley, is 15-20 hours a week, as compared to my old job which was STRICTLY 10 hours a week, and it is ABOVE minimum wage. So, last week I started the training for my new job, which I have to say, is quite extensive, but at least I get to do it in the comfort of my own home, which is a plus.

Earlier I mentioned the dreaded Senior Project. I have FINALLY decided what I am doing it on, and I am actually excited. I have decided to do my paper on learning styles, and for my project, I plan on going into an elementary school classroom, and helping out. Which is a great project for me, since I love kids!

Also, Wednesday mornings, I have been attending a Bible study and it's absolutely fabuloso! It's a great way to start off my day, and I'm soooo glad that this got started up!

Well, I think that's enough updating for now, and hopefully it won't be another month until I post again.
