Life!!

[Angel_Jenny]

Hey all! Everytime I check this site for the last few weeks it has said NO NEW POSTS!! What's happening?? we just deserting it? ;)
Thought I would start this new thread just randomly say what u have been up to or what you are going to be up to in the next month etc especially with it leading up to Christmas!

For me I have been busy doing cover shift work at different local Nurserys and I now nanny a 2 year old every Monday and Tuesday evening which is fun! some days like tomorrow I have a FULL day of work (from 8am till 9pm at 3 jobs) but other days like today I just have my evening nannying!

Ok well look forward to hearing from people!
love Jenny x

I have recently started a new job in a petrol station. Ok, so it is not a career but it will pay for my flight to camp next year!

I am still at college part time and doing a placement in a special needs primary school.

My wee cat Poppy who is two went missing last Tuesday which is awful. I don't think she will be coming back.

[Angel_Jenny]

awww i'm so sorry to hear about your cat Laura!!
It's good to be earning money what ever you are doing :) I am using my nursery cover work shifts as a stepping stone to the nursery I really want to work at as they have no positions going at the moment!!
Thanks for posting too!! I thought it was dead in here ;) x

Hi

I was going to post a similar thread about a week ago - but me being me complete fogged up and couldn't remember how to start a thread - I think it is the blonde in me.

Sorry about your cat Laura.

I haven't managed to get a job since returning from camp which is really frustrating but that is life - at this rate at least I wont have to quit a job to go to camp next summer.

I have been spending my time traveling up and down to the midlands for job interviews and getting ready for Christmas - I am trying to make as many of my Christmas Presents as possible.

It's been crazy for me over the past few months as my wife just gave birth to 3 babies. That is one of the big reasons that I have not been around. But my family has gone from 2 to 5 in a few months its crazy. I guess I won't have a problem getting campers over the next few years.

Congratulations and Welcome to your new family members!! :)

[annknee]

Congratulations-guess it feels a lot like camp all year round now!!

I have been working, working and working. Sometimes partying, but mostly working! Having two jobs and studying isnt easy, but probably easier than having three babies!!

[Smudge]

Congratulations - you certainly have your hands full.

[Angel_Jenny]

wow 3 at once!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!! sounding good everyone!! Took me a while to remember how to open new thread too Smudge hehe! Oh well!
Might be room leader at a nursery from next week depending how it goes tomorrow!!

I may not seem busy because I work a few hours every day and only have classes on Mondays and Wednesdays. But oh man. Because I only have each class once a week we get twice the amount of work to do and one of my prof.'s who I have for 3 out of my 5 classes doesnt explain things well enough. However, I feel like I finally know more then everyone else in my classes (I always used to feel like the dumb kid in class cause I never understood anything).
Any whoo we all only have 2 more of each classes to do so the work has totally piled up.

I met Shane and Landon from the Real World. That was cool.

Thats just about it. sigh.

[Angel_Jenny]

I think it sounds busy I completly understand mel :)!
I have another job interview at another nursery on Monday and not sure anymore where I want to work! I guess I will go to interview and see from there before I make crucial decisions!

[Smudge]

I made my second payment to CA yesterday so any job i get now will have to respect the fact that I am committed for the summer and will have to work around that.

[Angel_Jenny]

I moved out from parents house last week!! Have been extremely busy all this week and don't have internet access at home so can only check about once a week at parents house! I have a massive coldsory thing on top lip which hurts when I close my mouth for any purpose :(. Tonight is a Youth awards thing where I get all dressed up in prom dresses etc but I don't feel as excited as previous years! Well better dash off to work! Take care all! Jenny x

[Smudge]

Moving house is fun and challenging, but I hate it when I don't have internet access - are you going to get internet at your new place.

I have a cold sore at the moment too. Hope that you have a great evening.

I have been busy teaching biology to my high school students. I teach three levels of 11th grade bio, including AP Bio and a section of 12th grade Marine Bio. Lots of work, but I really love it.

I'm also heading up the new FIRST Robotics team at our school as the point person for the adults. Still working with Girl Scouts - I have 9 adorable Brownies and 10 awesome Seniors. I also show up at various events to volunteer because it's just heaps of fun.

Add in planning a wedding for April 5th, and I'm keeping busy. It'll be so weird sign my name differently this summer!

[Smudge]

Sounds like a very exciting life. Congrats on the wedding! Are you planning a traditional one?

I love my brownies - I have nearly 20 of them - and they cover the whole economic spectrum - but they are fun loving and very inclusive of each other.

I have been working at my outdoor school. I just got done with my 13 week of 6th grade students. it has been fun but it is a lot of work planing. I am glad that it is winter break. I have one mouth off. I have been at camp for one year now with out a break it is time.

[Smudge]

Lucky you - wish I had been!

[camper]

i came home from camp, was home for 5 days getting things ready for school, and then went to school. now fall trimester is over and i'm getting ready to work at a JCC nursery school for a week and spend some time with camp people...then it's back to school for another 10 weeks!

[Angel_Jenny]

Well I am at the family house today and Tomorrow for Christmas so using chance to use internet :D! MERRY CHRISTMAS ALL WHO CELEBRATE IT :)!
I am excited for New Years Eve as I am meeting up with the English staff from camp this year in Manchester and one of my American friends from camp is coming over for it too! :)
In answer to your message in reply o my las one lol smudge! I really do hope to get internet soon but at the moment I need to concentrate on paying the bills I have, my car insurance and tax :S and other stuff! I had a great evening that night too but didnt win any awards! Have a great Christmas love me x

[Smudge]

Makes me glad I am still at home so dont have worries like that.

have a great Christmas yourself and enjoy the internet while you are home.

[Angel_Jenny]

oh I am :)! Got money this year for Christmas enough to cover next months rent and fill petrol tank up!! The joys of what my Christmas Money will be spent on this year lol I'm glad I bought my ipod when I came home from camp :D!
Stuffed from eating and if I eat anymore today I am sure I will pop hehe! What did everyone get? was a good day for me and had my nana out the nursing home today but she got over tired so is back there now! Well I guess I better head home myself now but will see what people have written next time I am on!
Enjoy the rest of the festive period everyone and speak soon I hope (was getting withdrawals :-p )

[Smudge]

I have had years were my birthday or christmas money has been spent on boring things like food.

I had a great day - we had single member of my church and the missionaries over during the day - it was great fun - eat loads but not too much - had the best desert - gonna make everyone jealous cos it was baked chocolate cheesecake with fresh strawberries and ice-cream.

Hey everyone. Ive not been up to much.
Well not recently anyway. I came back from America for my second time just 3 weeks ago after visiting my girlfriend for 5 weeks. That was great. Now Im just waiting for the new year to find a job to go back :)
Ive not been on talkcamp much but I know as soon as I start my 2008 camp process I will be on here a lot more.

Hope everyone is well.

Bring on camp 2008 is what I say!

[Smudge]

Glad that things are going well with your girl friend - all these trips to the USA you are gonna need that job - good luck finding one!

I can't wait for the application process to start moving ahead - all my CA stuff is done - I am just waiting for camp to start recruting which wont be until Feb - which sucks cos it means I will have to pay an extra £200 to CA but never mind it is worth it to go to camp!

[laurathistle]

Trips to visits loved ones in the US...Re-applying to camp... GO GO GO!
