I wish my Blogger software wasn't screwed up so I could post more than once a day. It'd be infinitely more organized, and you all know how I am about organization.
Today, I learned that "Cv" is the postal abbreviation for "Cove". I learned this as Chaz (my partner at work) and I were putting together the acceptance letters for the summer program. We're inviting twelve girls and nine boys. It's a pretty big group for the two of us to manage, but I kind of hope they all respond. Bigger groups foster more interaction. We'll see how this all works out. I hope it turns out better than my class did this past year. I really need to stop joining the staff of pilot programs. It's like the educational field's version of experimental drug trials.
The USCCB approved the new translations for Mass. Darnit, I
liked "Lord, I am not worthy to receive you"! (Via
Lyzii's away message, since I haven't been blog-hopping today.)
I got a letter in the mail this afternoon: "I am pleased to inform you that you have been granted full admission to the Secondary Teacher Education program in English at the University of Maryland." Yay! I'm so excited. I must remember to thank Dr. White (my old boss), Kristi (my Spanish TA), and Fr. Bill for their recommendations. I'm gonna be a teacher, I'm gonna be a teacher!
If any of you missed the drama that went down in the last month or so, I've stopped talking to Greg. He has now de-friended me on LJ. This is the best thing for both of us.
Friday Five1. What's the most embarrassing thing/job you've had to do to earn money? I've never had a particularly embarrassing job. I've had really boring ones, though, like my last temp job. I feel for my coworkers during those two weeks. I would have gone crazy doing that job for longer than nine days. Who would have guessed that sitting still and typing with one hand would be so tiring?
2. What's the easiest and quickest way you have earned a buck? My dad paid me to wrap his Christmas presents. I donated the money to
the servicemember ministry of
The Word Among Us. It wasn't much, but they needed it more than I did.
3. If you could set your own salary, according to your skills and worth, how much would you earn? It depends on what I'm doing. I have a very bad money sense, actually. At the moment, I'm technically earning $10/hour, which works for me. That is also part of why I can't charge people (especially not friends!) to edit and proofread their papers: I don't really know what I'm worth.
4. Are you a good saver? I'm kind of cheap. Does that count?
5. What's the most expensive and useless thing you have ever bought? I have a really cute Winnie the Pooh trash can I paid far too much money for. It holds my trash. I'm satisfied.
