it's been a long time..
:dusts off livejournal:
Hi, people.
I don't quite know where to begin, in that there isn't a great deal to inform you of/update you on. But, there is some. I took on a new job of sorts. I am [what is called] an employment specialist, or job coach. I've been doing it since early/mid-April. I work with a 16-year old who has been involved in some troublesome things. Juvenile detention. Drugs. Running away.
The company I work for provides academic and vocational support to students ranging from the non-verbal and autistic, to those who function on a more developed level. So, I do that for 6-6.5 hours/day, then go the after-school program. I'm basically working 9-10 hours/day..and I'm not adjusting very well to it. I also tutor for the same company on Saturday mornings/afternoons. .so, there's little relief for me. The money's nice, however. [There has to be a trade-off, you know..outside of the fulfilling nature of the work..of course.] Unforunately, I'm not getting sufficient rest, and resultingly, I've gotten sick. I haven't felt well for about a week now. Hopefully, I'll get used to 50 hour weeks.
I'm still teaching dance.
I have two classes at Noah Webster. A group of 1st and 2nd graders, and a group of 3rd-7th graders. I also bought myself a digital camcorder so that when they flex, I can record it and hold it dear forever. I've posted three clips on Youtube.com, thus far. I'm hoping to record more this week..maybe, I'll feature myself.
Alright.
That's all for now.
I hope people haven't given up on or forgotten about me.
Holla back.
