So, I have been busy these past few weeks... let me fill you in to what I have been up to. Starting the week after the 4th of July I started working at a daycare. My main job is to take school age students on field trips...( this means I often get paid to sun bathe... I also get paid to eat a lot as well as ride in a car.) I also often work in the toddler room. (this is not my favorite thing to do considering I am not a big fan of changing diapers) This job keeps me busy I work at it 5 days a week as well as I tutor 2-3 days a week. Last week I took a vacation. Sam and I flew to Spokane. Sam's mom picked us up at the airport and let us use her car so we could travel around. My parents were at my cousin's cabin in Courdelain, Idaho.. so we went and stayed with them a few nights as well. This was a lot of fun..the weather was nice I got to wakeboard a lot and we also went to Silverwood-- their newest roller coaster is a lot of fun. We flew home on Friday and on Saturday I drove to Arlington to hang out with my sister. On Sunday their was a concert in Arlington that I went to with a bunch of my friends. The concert was Darryl Worley, Jessica Andrews, and Kellie Pickler. It was a lot of fun and we got to stand right near the stage for Kellie Pickler. I was suprised that big names of country like them would want to come to tiny Arlington but they seemed to enjoy themselves- it is really pretty where they were playing by the river. So itwas 7:00 when the concert got over and we even left before the last song-- then we had to wait over an hour in the parking lot before could make our way out to the street. (The drive to the venue only took me about 3-4 minutes) The wait in the darn parking lot was insane. Then I thought about going back to Redmond that night at about 11pm- I decided against it so that I could watch the olympics- this was a smart choice I later realized. I woke up the next morning and got ready for work I was suppose to be in Sammamish at 11:00 for tutoring. I was driving down the freeway - I was about 10 miles from my parents house and then my car started overheating. I called my dad and we tried to put in antifreeze but it wouldn't stay in the car- so we ended up towing it to a shop to get it fixed. I was scared the bill was going to be huge but luckily it was much lower than I had expected. My sister let me borrow her car- I didn't make it to tutoring but I made it to the daycare on time. Then yesterday I was at the beach with the kids and I got a phone call from an elementary school offering me an interview for a kinergarten position. Luckily my dad is taking a class in the same town as my interview so we are trading cars so I can have mine back! I am nervous about the interview but I feel prepared since I taught kindergarten as a long term sub last year. Once I know the results I will post a blog.
