Jobs and Try-outs
The last week has been very busy. On top of going to orientation, meeting the people in my program, debating between buying books before or after the start of class, and getting through another week on my own in a strange city, i also finally got my job situation all settled. I was two for two on job interviews, so I am now a proud member of the Emerson mailroom team and an office assistant in the office of Career Services.
The mailroom job will be a typical no brainer, but it will force me to become familiar with the whereabouts of all departments on campus (a very useful thing!). The Career Services job will be a typical office job, but i might also get the chance to do some event planning (putting my irish dance producer skills to work...i'm very excited). Both jobs however, are in what seem to be very nice office with great people, so all in all I think i will be happy (and my roommates can rest assured that i will be able to pay rent).
The career services job offered an extra perk, on top of being a god send of a good paying job: the woman i interviewed with was very excited to hear that i was an irish step dancer, and informed me that she could hook me up with the correct contacts so as to get in touch with the three different troupes in the city. It was really funny, during the interview, we actually went on a rift about irish dancing, and then both had to bring attention back to the matter at hand. Apparently, all irish dancers have irish dance add in common.
So now i have my three different jobs, the latest two starting this week. The coaching job, however, started last week, and tryouts were absolutely crazy. 53 girls came out for two teams. 53! Sadly, that meant we had to make cuts. It was one of the hardest things i've ever been a part of, because every girl who came out worked really hard. What needed to be done was done though, and official practice starts next week. I am excited for the start of the season.
And that is what i've been up to recently. As always, i miss you all.

Hey funny-bottoms,
Recently I notıced that wıth Mark and I and Sasha, ıt was a famılıar trıo-type settıng. But how far ıt ıs from our orıgınal trıo just makes ıt kında annoyıng sometımes, and makes me mıss you more.
Glad thıngs are goıng well wıth jobs and such - be sure to lose some sleep postıng as soon as your classes and soccer gets rollıng!
Funny, with Irish,that's how I got my DTE job too... perhaps there's some sort of Irish mafia thing going?
Hey Ian...i'm working thirty hours a week right now, but after the beginning of november it will level off to twenty. It's not so bad...but i had to find some way to pay the extravagent rent on this great apartment that i specifically picked because it has room for people to visit (hint hint hint).
And Kate, whats funny is that you've even found someone with almost all the right letters to be my replacement...substitute the second "s" for an "r"...
