Job Shadowing, Interviews, classes and more...

Greetings!

All is going well with us. Nico just got back from his interview in Detroit with General Motors. He should hear back from them in a few weeks. He thinks that he “nailed” the interview. He also thinks (and I agree) the job sounds perfect for him and his skill sets. Right now he’s taking a make-up Accounting test (blah).

Next week I start job shadowing the local FCS extension agent. I’m really excited about it. This is my opportunity to find out if Extension is right for me.

I just found out that I will be teaching three classes next semester: FCS 100- Career Management in Family and Consumer Sciences (1 credit hour); FCS 230- Consumer Education and Personal Finances (3 credits); and WS 399: Global Issues in Women’s Studies (3 credits). I will also be taking 14 hours next semester (that includes hours toward my thesis). So, between taking classes and teaching, I will have approximately 0 hours of free time. I’ll post our schedules in the next few days.

House update: The vanity is in and plumbed! I’ll post pictures soon. Hopefully, we’ll be out of the guest bed and into the master in a few weeks.

If you have extra $$$ check out the auction for senior Italian Greyhounds (like Bella, only older). My friend Holly works really hard to make sure that the owners of older dogs have the care and support they need to keep our four-legged friends healthy for as long as possible. She’s also the one that has given me all of the doggy nutrition information. Ginsburg is virtually allergen free (no more obsessive licking and flakey skin).
