chocolate attack

Mar 20, 2006 13:36

I don't know what I'm doing :`-( I have PMS. I just want to dress up in big white shades and go shopping with a tea cup doggy. I want to drip powdered sugar all down my front. Does this sound good to you? Let's go! (Should I make that my personal add?) Really I want to have someone hold my hand--and we could laugh and make each other feel ( Read more... )

for what americorps program where you applying? some of them are great, some of them are not. the pay is terrible all over, however.

The job was called multicultural education something or other... It was at the Skyline Towers--mostly a Somali building, and I was going to be tutoring elementary kids.

I thought I was getting lucky because you have to do so many hours to receive a stipend, and I would've been jumping in right at the end-- so--getting a large chunk of the money all at once and struggling to finish hundreds of volunteer hrs by August, even though really, I would be working for about $5 per hour :-(

There's no way I could live on that amount for a year. So, that sucks. Most of the positions are year long commitments. That blows, Americorps.

I'm applying to be a test scorer on Wed. Bleh. Whatever!!!

i bet that's the same corps i'm a part of, hah. i know people who work at skyline. i've even been there.

and yeah, it's about five an hour and i am very, very poor. but i make it.

I didn't know that you did americorps!!! Wow, you have my respect--especially for being able to make rent. What do you do there? And is it a good job? How long are you going to do it? That makes me reconsider looking into more Americorps...

i work at spnn, a public access station. for a one year term...finished this august. i like the work, but i don't like that it is essentially a white collar job for which i am paid minimum wage. it does give you connections, if you are interested in networking. however, i wouldn't recommend doing americorps unless you are REALLY REALLY interested in the focus of your corps, because it eats your life. i am always surprised at how passionate everyone else seems as opposed to how "meh" i generally feel. also, unless you are at the same site, you don't even get to see other corps members very often in my corps.

if i did it again, i think i would prefer to do it for adventure and possibly for a shorter time.
