Utah didn't end up working. Least I don't think it will. The person who was going to give Jim and I an "in" turned out unreliable. My friend Kellie says he's going through a family crisis and has been letting everyone in his branch down. It's all messed up.
So, we're applying to americorps the old fashioned way, through the internet. So far only a few bites. We're also looking for work in Boulder Co. where our friend Amy lives. It would be so awesome to see her again!
Jim and I will return to vermont in a few days, and although I'd rather be off to some other state and a future job, I am a touch happy to see my home and family for awhile. I suppose if this job searching takes a lot longer, we'll get some part time thing to hold off the expenses and put food on the table.
In other news, my work this summer was wonderful. I was the co-theatre director, but in many ways I feel like I brought more to the department than my co-worker, lots of new games in credit to AO. They LOVED excuses and press conference. At one point the WHOLE camp (350 people) gathered for a spontaneous game of Excuses, counselors-versus-campers. The two plays were great too, though I favored more "Captain Bree and her Lady Pirates" than a camp version of "Cinderella". Yeah pirates!
Not much else in news. Must go to lunch.
