Back to School

I am going back to school again. So far just introductions but there is a lot of work ahead of me. There is a mix of experiences and locations in my class made more significant because they are from so many places. It is a Nonprofit Leadership class, the last one I need to receive my certificate. I will be happy to have that done!

The class  requires volunteering and I am choosing the Historical Society again.  Such a nice place to work. You never know what they will need you to do.  People in the class volunteer in many areas from Habitat for Humanity, and unnamed immigrant group, candystripers, republican activists, and many other volunteer opportunities. It will be interesting to see how all of their experiences go throughout the semester.


I am hoping as the semester progresses I feel like my life is moving forward again. So far no luck looking for work though I have been trying to figure out how to make myself more salable. So many people are looking now it is tough! I have heard a lot about companies who are refusing to hire people who don't have a job already. It is pretty shortsighted since this kind of thing will not turn the economy around. Have to wonder if these companies realize what sort of impact this will have on the world? What I am saying is these companies are very shortsighted, but I guess I shouldn't expect much since the stock market is also big on short term successes.

I have continued writing and far more important thinking about my story. I am pretty excited about it but I have to admit being distracted by gardening, job searching, and life. Hoping to buckle down this weekend. I am actually starting to think about what comes after it is done. I am hoping that is a good sign!
