another month
Well october is here, september went by so fast.but that's good, that's how i want it.
This wkd was loads of fun.
Friday:drove home for the interview with Boys & Girls club....it went well i think, i'll be contacted in a couple weeks, HOWEVER, i honestly don't know if it's something i want anymore. I was thinking i'd get to work w/elementary aged kids but it'd be exclusively teenagers up to 18 years-native american teens at that.yikes!
So i was thinking about this on my way through walker and wishing it'd be longer than 2 wks so i could see what other opportunities pop up before i have to give an answer. and actually, i called my mom to tell her how it went and she told me to contact her friend in town because she's in w/people at social services in walker (my other area of interest).SO,i got the number of the person in charge at Social services and (how ironic is this) i find out that there is likely going to be a full time social worker position open starting January '07'! How perfect would that be? Exact time when i'm done w/school, i've taken the Merit System exam and passed already, and i'll be done with my internship at LSS. Honestly, it would be a dream come true if i were to get hired to work as a social worker right in walker. i'd want to do that 10 times more than boys and girls club,i know i'd be good at it and i know i like it already.so i emailed my cover letter and resume and come closer to January i will find out more.
but that leaves me w/the dilemma of boys and girls club.if i were even to get the position...should i take it knowing i would leave if i got the social worker position?i think not,i'm already apprehensive about boys and girls. i've never worked w/teens and that has been intentional. I'm not a forceful person and these kids are from a bad area and can be damn intimidating.how am i supposed to exert authority over kids who are taller than me?i don't think i have it in me to do it.
I really really want to be in social services. My time at my internship has helped me see that, and i think it's just a sign how i found out about the opening the same day i have my interview w/boys and girls. i guess all i can do is wait. and decline any offer boys and girls club might offer.we'll see.i need to get advise from a "grown-up".
other than that whole shpeel...i drove back to duluth on friday and me and nessa partied it up alone that night.ran into terry at the Twins bar and the bartender let us set up game for beer pong.it was great,we got wasted and walked all the way back to our apartment cuz we couldn't get a cab.
saturday was just as fun-me,ukes, and rob went to grandma's and snuck stefanie in as well.those guys are too much fun.
today i'm doing a half ass job on homework.
that's my cue.i gotta get back at it.later homies.aLiTa
