Jobs

Since I will be in Oxford for sure this summer and I can fit all my students into 1-2 days (since they are out of school, I can work mornings or whatever works with a new job if I get one!), I am applying for some part time jobs. I did a lot of job searching this afternoon and gave it a whirl. Teaching children is so rewarding and I love it, and I still have a ton of room for new students if and when the come along. I just feel like I'm wasting so much money when I sit here all morning/afternoon before I work at my teaching job. I'm not going to name any jobs I'm applying for just because that's not very professional, but I am sort of excited about the idea. I feel like I would enjoy some type of part-time secretarial work or the like. That's basically what I'm applying for.
Life is very expensive...we definitely could use some more money...so that's obviously the main reason I'm most likely getting a second job. I can't believe I found a few jobs... I look close to every day and usually the jobs listed are for degrees/training I don't have, like nurses or counselors, etc. there just happened to be a few good ones posted finally.

I'm having a little bit of a hard time with my orchestra kids with scheduling conflicts and have lost 2 good players. It's really hard to see them go, and I have lost quite a big chunk of what I was planning on making because of it. Things are just tough right now and I am praying that a job will come through soon. We will be fine, things aren't scary or anything, it's just the normal newlywed bit...most of my friends work a few jobs, if not a full time job. I'm up for it...we'll see what comes of all of it.

Florida was a blast. It was so nice actually getting to see my husband when he's not highlighting a textbook or typing a brief or something. Of course he had a 30 page appellate brief he had to work on a chunk of the time, but it was definitely a good time seeing him more than I usually do, since he didn't have class to read for or to attend. It was nice getting away from this noisy place (yes I do have a countdown until we move...) and it was a good time. A huge answer to prayer: We were possibly going to have to pay double rent during June to secure the house...it was literally the only thing we could find and it was perfect for us! It's cheaper, so we will save money and all, but then we found out we had to pay for the month of June here and there...well, to make a long story short, the house we're going to rent is now not going to be available until a week or so before our lease here runs out! yay! no double rent! :-)

Well, I'm tired and Madison is still doing some homework...so I'm going to go to sleep!
