Camp Fire USA

If you haven't read my past three posts ("I'm back!", "School days" and "Wellstone") then head on down and read those first!

So since most of you knew about my job interview and prospective position as a youth club leader with Camp Fire USA, I thought I better address that. The interview went really great, and I think that they really wanted me as a leader. However, the trouble was finding sites for me that would fit with my schedule (which was admittedly limited). So I am not going to be working with Camp Fire. However, after having started school and my internship, I think it's probably a good thing that I didn't get the position because I just don't know how I would have managed it. I am having a hard enough time now.

Once I realized how crazy my schedule is already, I went and looked over my budget and finances. My financial aid, alongside the extra money I bring in each month from tutoring and baby-sitting, is definitely going to be enough to cover me for the semester. I'm going to have to stick to my budget, but I should be just fine. So right now I'm going to focus on school and my field work. I still have my Saturday night baby-sitting job with Paxton. Last week I started up my tutoring job again, which is just an hour every Thursday. That's with a now 6th grade boy named D'Angelo, for those who aren't already familiar with that position.

Next semester I might look to pick up another few hours of work somewhere, but for now I think I have enough on my plate already.
