New Year, New Jobs

I don't know if anyone is still reading this because I've dropped off the face of the earth. Just thought I'd fill everyone in on what I've been doing since I returned from Ecuador.
  • I spent time with my family first and foremost.
  • I finished my COST portfolio and turned in it over a month early so I could get my grade in a timely fashion.... it's still not graded so technically I haven't graduated and therefore, do not have my certification. Hopefully it's on the way soon!
  • I celebrated my 23rd birthday!
  • I went to Athens to visit friends and celebrate Amy's 23rd birthday!
  • December 17-18 my family and I attended my College of Education and UGA graduation ceremonies!
  • I celebrated Christmas Eve with my family and my Aunt Linda and Uncle Michael.
  • Christmas day was just my immediate family! This was really fun but I missed Aunt Lee, Uncle Andy, Caroline, and Lindsay!
  • I spent New Years Eve babysitting. Sad times but I wanted to make money.
  • Since the new year I've been networking and applying to jobs like crazy!
  • Most exciting I found someone that could get me into the Cobb County Subfinder system! I did the paperwork on Monday and will hopefully start soon!
  • I'm thrilled about subbing but ultimately I'm hoping it will help me get my foot in the door for a supply job (long term sub position, 6-8 weeks) or a parapro position through May and a full time position beginning in August!!!
  • I'm also waitressing at West Cobb Diner, a new restaurant in Marietta. Waitressing is challenging but it's good money. I'm going to stick it out for a while.
  • I'm hoping to find something fun and exciting to do this summer. It's the last summer I can be a little spontaneous and do something I love and believe in! I've applied to intern at the TOMS shoes headquarters in Santa Monica, CA. I'm hoping I get the position!
Lastly, and very exciting, Brooks asked me to be her maid of honor and I'm thrilled!!
