Changes....

Today was my last day at the day-care. OMG I dont think I even told you I got a different job, did I? OK first things first.

OK so I got a new job at the NSU foundation. Basically, we call alumni and friends of the university and ask for donations to various funds. Right now we are raising money for the Wolf Pact Scholarship fund, which is a new program for incomming freshman with an ACT score of 21 or higher which garantees them between $500 and $2000, depending upon the score, each year that they attend Northern and maintain a 3.0 GPA or above. (did that sound rehearsed??). I applied for this job beacuse I was basically gauranteed a position, and I was told I would get 9.25/hour. Not so. Not yet, anyway. You start at 7.00 plus incentives, and you get a raise for each year you work there. You work for a little over three hours each night. Oh ya...I also thought I would get to work 4 nights per week but then he hired too damn many people and so now I only get two nights. The whole point in getting this job was so that I would have more money, but then I quit the daycare (with both jobs, plus classes, I wouldnt have enough time for homework, leisure, or friends) and now im still going to be making around the same amount as before. I think its ok though...cuz I do like this job. Its more individual and I dont know...I just really like it. It's not that I decided to change my focus or anything. I loved the kids, and I still want to work with children as a career...I can't really explain it properly, I just feel like I want to be only working at the foundation for now. Besides, I'm taking an Observation class for my minor, and I have to spend 40 hours in a preschool for that, so I'll still have my kiddie fix.

Anyway, as I was saying, today was my last day at the daycare. I didn't even get to see my favorites. ( I know, "you shouldn't have favorites". Everyone does, OK? They just don't let it show.) So anyway...I decided not to go say goodbye to anyone because then I would feel sad. And I dont think I have the right to feel sad. It was my choice to get another job. It was my choice to quit at the daycare, even though they really needed me. I guess I just had some problems with it which I don't want to share at the present time. But I still talk to a couple people who I worked with, and I'll find out from them how everyone is.

Hmm..well I think thats about all I have for you today
