Random Things. I thought I should write a few random updates on things that have transpired over the last couple of days, if for no other reason than to avoid a super long entry...
On California...I now have faxed my application packet and handed out all three reference forms. I faxed one of them in myself, and the other two were supposed to have gone out yesterday and today. Earlier today I got a phone call from one of my references that she'd been called by the hiring manager at the Summer Camp and asked to verify what she'd written. I was encouraged by this. Even though things are far from a done deal, the fact that they're checking my references seems to be a good thing. Maybe they will be able to fit me into their staff!
On Strawberries...Most of you know, I don't like them, but starting at 12:30PM tomorrow, I will be selling them anyway. The Orchard owner called today asking if I'd be able to help out with the stand starting tomorrow. Being in my cash-strapped, no job position, I was more than willing to accomodate. If the CA job comes through, then I can save up money to help with the trip out, and if it doesn't, then I'll have a job to work this Summer until something more substantial comes along. Strawberries anyone?
On Other Jobs...After our softball game tonight a teammate came up to me and excitedly stated that she didn't know I was a Biology major. I told her that indeed I had recently gotten a degree in Microbiology and she asked if I'd considered teaching. I informed her that at this point, I'm considering anything remotely related to my field that pays. She told me that she knows of 3 and maybe four Science teaching jobs at the Middle School she's working at. They are at a critical need for teachers and are therefore waiving the Teaching Certificate requirement. Even better is the fact that our preacher's wife is the "right-hand man" of the principal there and might be able to hook me up. So I need to talk to her next time I see her to find out more. The job would be in the Fall, so my Summer plans might still work out too.
On Softball...Our game on Tuesday was great. Actually, it didn't look so great, but we won 12-3. It was terribly windy, which made pitching a horrendous task. My mom is the team pitcher. I'm glad she had to do that and not me. The other team was completely incapable of keeping their score book which caused alot of drama when they refused to recognize a run that I made. It was crazy since I came in and was sitting in the dug out talking to other people, when the next batter on our team got out. Their book only reflects a score of 11-3, and they had the home book, so it's the one that counts. But me, my team, and now you, my dear readers, know the truth ;-) Our game tonight did not go as well. We were tied almost the entire game. They got one lucky hit in the last inning that put them up 5-2, the final score. I had two great hits...probably my best so far. On my second time at bat, I heard their coaches and some of the infield hollaring to the outfiled that I had smacked it good the first time and that they needed to back up. That is always an ego boost. Towards the end of the game, though, they substituted their pitcher and she did this weird walk up pitch thing that made her pitches really too fast for slow pitch and really threw off our batting. My last at bat I only hit a grounder to short stop who tagged my sister out. It was a fun game though and relatively devoid of drama. We don't have any games next week, so you'll get a break from the sports news!
On Bed...I guess that's about all the news that is the news for now, and I'd better get to bed....since I have to go to work tomorrow! (Even if it is in the afternoon)
