Okay, so I'm updating slightly more often than I used to. That's better, right?
There's quite a bit going on in my life. This morning I had a job interview for a youth counselor position, and it was the hardest interview I've ever had to do, to date. Role plays, hypothetical questions, getting grilled by 7 *big* guys about all sorts of topics. I am slightly scared of what it will be like, but the people were extremely nice and it looks like the staff gets along really well. For someone who doesn't like talking in front a handful of people, I was surprisingly comfortable, and not very nervous. I have to pass a physical, running, strength, things like that. They asked if I would be interested in helping out with their artsy-like programs like band and theater. It sounded like they were going to hire me, but I won't find out for a few days (gotta check out my "criminal past"). In the meantime, I'll start running and lifting.
The harder thing in my life is my mom. She just learned that Charles and I were thinking about moving in together, and just flipped her lid. She's emailing me now, saying we need to talk, and threatening to take away the gift money she was going to give us and calling our marriage a "sham". Now she wants to move the date up, but I'm not sure she realizes that these are our decisions, and not hers. We would spend the $5000 she'd give us just in our costs to live in separate places for nine months, so either way, the "gift money" is going to go down the tube and not to good use. I get so frustrated and stressed just thinking about it, that I can feel my heart rate rising and my veins "cholesterolizing." So I'm gonna stop writing about it, for my own psychological health. I have to get reading on my motivation, anyway, if I'm gonna do well at this job. Let's hope I get it.
Now off for some dinner and running...
