mi trabajo

well, i got a new job, sort of. i am no longer teaching which is happy and sad. happy because i don't have the constant lesson planning hanging over me, and sad because my students are the best.

i am still doing half of my old job as a civics coordinator which means i work with esl teachers to create activities and projects for new immigrants. i coordinate fieldtrips, presenters and stuff like that. last week we (well, not me) made a video called "workplace scenarios" where a class read scripts they had written based on their job situations. we trained the camera crew and they did awesome taking over directing and filming each other. and this week i'll be watching a presentation by my old class on an H1N1 guidebook they made for their civics project. it's tons of work, but pretty much fun. i need to work on streamlining the program now that i'm only available half-time. here's my old office.

and my new office. yay! windows!!! my other new part-time work is with a non-profit which is also part of our adult ed. department at the college. it's a literacy program and i provide training and support for volunteer tutors to work with low literacy students as well as esl students in workplaces. it's been a chaotic transition, but i'm happy for the change and mostly for a raise! praise God for that!

hi ho. hi ho. off i go!

my secretary! he's the best. we call it superbill sunday when we sit down with the files and try to reconcile with the insurance company etc. even though he feels crappy, he's still on top of the finances. i'm soooooo thankful! what a man.
