Good luck, Elle!!!

Ray - I met him at work. He's cute, funny, intelligent, likes the same things as I do.

[QUOTE]I'm not sure if it'll be this week or next, but soon-ish I'm doing a three-day observership at a nearby hospital.  If it goes well, it will mean I've decided what to do with my life.  So, obviously, I'm excited and nervous.

That is awesome Elle.  What is this that you might be doing?

Can I tell you after my observership?  It's not confidential or anything, but I'm really bad about changing my mind a lot with career stuff so it's made me insecure about saying too much too early.

I feel good about this, though.  It's something I've been interested in for a long time, so I don't <em>think</em> it's just another phase I'm going through.

bethsmiles

Elle - I hope it goes well! I totally know how you feel with not knowing what you want to do. It sucks and is stressful. I'm excited to hear about it afterwards

ravenray

No problem!  Good luck!  I hope it is what you want to do with your life   But I know anything you end up doing will be awesome!

This week is pretty full for me.  Dress fittings and school tomorrow.   Meeting with my union Rep on Thursday for work and then off to San Fran on Friday to go food tasting at my venue and other reception related things.  Busy!  Not to mention 4 days a week of school

bethsmiles

You are one busy lady Ray! I feel like I have an insane amount of free time.

Posted by bethsmiles[/QUOTE]
The funny thing is I am always this busy and I have no idea why.  Like I am taking 12 units (the smallest amount I have taken in a while), planing my wedding, working 18 hours a week, taking voice lesson, riding horses once a week, and go to church.  I think it must be how I was raised. 

Don't feel bad though, I wish I had more free time, then I could read more!!

Elle1036

I have tons of free time, too.  I wish I could at least be productive with it.  I just suck

bethsmiles

I like to be busy but it's hard to find a full time job that let's me get to class every week. Plus none of the jobs I've applied for have anything to do with what I want to do career-wise. I don't know what I'll do if I don't get the T.A. job. BF is really confident that I'll get it but I have trouble being as sure as he is lol.

I'm not being productive at all today. I've just been watching Family Guy and knotting.

ravenray

Elle- You don't suck.  You are awesome!    Don't feel bad.  I think I am this busy to keep me productive.  Like right now I should be doing my homework, but I am not!
Beth- Well good luck!  I Hope you get it!  And I will be praying for you.   I bet it is hard to find a job that works around your classes

I'd like to have it done by the end of March at the very latest. The presentation I have to give is on April 25th so the application has to be in before that.

I'm still feeling pretty lost about where to start. I really want to teach so I don't want to screw this up.

I didn't mention it in your other thread about this because I'm not a certified teacher, but I do have a lot of experience in education.  I even spent a year training other teachers.  So if you still need somebody to look over your stuff or you want to bounce ideas off someone, I'm here.

ravenray

You're going to be great Beth!  Did you try googling sample teaching statements to help you get started?

Guys I am drinking juice from a bottle right now.  Klassy I know.

bethsmiles

Thanks Elle! I will have to have you look it over once I get a draft.

Ray - I did google some and I've been looking them over. I think I'm over thinking it.

Elle1036

Awww, man, is this thread dying?  I was having so much fun.

*starts CPR*

ravenray

I over think everything.  Truly one of my biggest faults.

ravenray

Can we play have you ever?

Elle1036

That sounds fun...  You want to start?

ravenray

Sure....  Have you ever, kissed a girl?  Made out with a girl?

ravenray

I have kissed 4 girls.  All by accident and I have never made out with any.

Care to answer your own question?

No. I'm boring.
