Summer Update 1

Hello All!

Sorry I haven't written here in a while. I've been done with school for a little over two weeks now, and it is nice not having to worry about homework, papers, or grades for three and a half months. I am pleased to say that I got a C and passed stats--a major accomplishment!! Basically, I'm done with math FOREVER!!! I got B minuses in theology and human bio (my grade went up by two letter grades since the beginning of the semester). I got B's in English and psych, and an A in choir. My overall GPA for both semesters is 2.9, which is a B minus. A nice way to end the year :D

At this point, my summer plans are currently in the making. Most of you know now that I was offered an amazing opportunity to be a nanny for a month and a half in New Jersey that was taken away from me two days after I came back to CA after meeting the family. To make a long story short, the mom changed her mind at the last minute from needing childcare to household help. This was very disappointing, as I was excited about the job. If you don't already know the details, I'd be happy to fill you in.

On the plus side, I have been meeting with families who might need occasional babysitting. I'm also pursuing a job as a summer live-in nanny. I'm looking into doing some volunteer work with children. I have been offered a position as a volunteer instructor at a camp for kids with autism. However, that camp is one day a week for 8 weeks, so I'm finding out what else I can do the other four days during the week.

As far as travel goes, I don't have any definite plans. I'm hoping to make trips to see my friends in Portland and the East Coast (I have friends in South Windsor, CT and Longmeadow, MA). Besides these trips, I'm thinking about going to Netherlands to see my friend Megan who is an au pair there. Her sister is going to visit her for two weeks in July, and they want to do some traveling, so I'm hoping to join them.

Now you know what's going on in my world since I've finished school. I'll write more as I know my plans (:
