Well, there's not tons to report. I'm still working at school in Lomira as a long-term substitute paraeducator, working with 3-5th graders all day. Except I haven't been to work the last 2 days because I haven't been feeling well. Went to the doctor on Friday and they're running a bunch of tests, so hopefully they'll know why I've been feeling so crappy lately & be able to do something about it.
I am working on a couple job applications--one for an outdoor education coordinator at Northern Illinois University, and the other is a program assistant/volunteer coordinator at Heckrodt Wetland Reserve in Menasha, WI. So hopefully one of those will work out.
I had a phone interview for a job at the Kansas City Zoo last week that I would've been perfect for. But it was only 25 hours a week, $8.50 an hour, no benefits, and only from late March to early June. So I just couldn't afford to move to Kansas City for that job. Especially since it would be $50 less per week than what I'm making subbing--and with my college loan payments every month, $50 is a lot of money. If I had no expenses I probably could've swung it, but realistically it wasn't the right choice for me. But the guy I interviewed with was very nice and encouraged me, if I'm closer to Kansas City, or can move there, next year to apply (because the job was PERFECT for me). So that was a downer.
But at the same time, the fact that they contacted me (and did so pretty quickly) made me feel better. I was starting to feel like I'd never find a job and getting really kind of depressed. But hearing from them has helped.
I'd brainstorm more, but I'm gonna go eat dinner, so I will again leave you in suspense of what is going on in my life. Trust me, it's not much.
