mis_creationI am ... in a rut. Of course, when am I not?
No signs of anyone hiring until the holiday season, so, fine, I'll bide my time and apply again at the end of October. I even asked at Wal-Mart and found they were in a hiring freeze. Sign of the times...
Anyway, my luck I'll get a second job just as NaNo starts. Except maybe not because my friend at the library is organizing a whole bunch of NaNo stuff, because she's the regional liaison-person, and I might be getting some extra hours from helping her out. I'm only a little nervous because she seems to want to stick me with the middle-school aged kids. So we'll see how that goes...
I'm reminded of this because I just signed on as an educator in the young writer's program, so we can get an additional kit.
My friend is very...engaged. She used to be a teacher, so she's much better with kids. She's got all kinds of ideas for making notebooks and handing out prizes/toys/motivational stuff. I listen to her and think, "Why can't I come up with stuff like that?"
I also got the latest GRE prep-book from the library. I just want to look at it, see what I'm in for if and when I decide to take the GRE. I test really well, especially standardized tests, so I'm not actively worried, but forewarned is forearmed and all that...

Date: 2009-08-29 05:50 pm (UTC)If I do go to grad school, I'm going for Library Science and/or an archivist certification. There's good points and bad points of either one, but the main point is that I don't want to go back to school right now, I can't afford it, and I'm not positive what I want to do with it.
On the other hand, my friend who is doing NaNo is also considering it, so if we went to the same online university we could split book costs and study together, so that would be good...
I was, but on the advice of several lawyers and paralegals my mom knows, I've put that on hold. They all said not to spend a cent on education or certification before finding a job in the field. So I've been looking for one of those, but again, no luck.
