I didn't realize what I was getting myself into. By coming to Norway, I've single-handedly updated my brain on what I want to do with my life. It's amazing, I know. Surely, I couldn't have figured it out so quickly!
I contacted the Western District office in Seattle, just introducing myself and letting them know how I'm interested in helping out. Nicole was happy to hear from me and also sent me the position description for the SF Bay Area Field Director. Quoi? It's practically a full-time job. Would I be paid? Would I manage school and this? Luckily, Camilla's host mom in New England has this position. I therefore proceeded to email her with the hopes that it was something I was able to juggle. This could be so interesting!
If I took the FD position and was paid, then I'd have to think if I wanted to do the teaching associate thing. I would have to take an extra class for that and apply to start next spring. Pros: taking both means more money saved for me. Cons: taking both means more work for me. Hmmmm.....
If I didn't take the FD position, then I'd definitely take the teaching position and save money that way, but still work as an intern for Seattle. But after one email with Nicole and her presentation of the FD position could only mean one of two things: my email rocked and she'd be interested in having me in the position OR they're desperate to have someone take the position and I just happened to email her at the right time.
We shall see. At least I know what I want and know how to get it. That is definitely a happy place to be.
But wait.... there's more...
Shoutouts! I am so proud of my little sister Em! She kicked some theater ass for the One-acts and the German play! Rock on little one! I wish I could remember the active name I gave you - please tell me! Does that make me a bad big?
Also, I am so proud of the other Em in my life, who got accepted to SFSU! That was her goal and her dream job is just waiting for her (in a few years when she graduates the program..)! She was my inspiration for coming to Norway, did you know that? She took a risk by moving out to CA. So, I took a risk and flew to Oslo in hopes of finding something. Now we're both happy! Except actually in the love department... but I won't bring the mood down.
Yeah also to Gina! I love you G! She's a trooper and is doing so well in Oregon, despite her current state of disarray and overall overload! I love reading your blog! What did I tell you, huh? Columnist! Just like Carrie....
Uh... I think that's it?
Nope - yeah to Erin! I'm not sure of my intent with that YEAH, because she really was a naughty girl this weekend! At the very least, it was interesting to read.... I love you still Erin! I'll come and visit when I get back. No idea when, but definitely....
Ok.
Done.
