I woke to a phone call this morning

February 28th, 2006 @ 7:28 pm

It was the lady who called over three weeks ago telling me I would hear back within a week or so about getting an interview. I guess my week or so and their week or so are two totally different time frames.

Anyway, I have an interview next Tuesday morning at 11am. She also sent me an email detailing what I was to do during this interview.

As the main focus of the position you are applying for is to compile resources to create Dramatic Play prop boxes, the interview panel is requesting that you do a brief 5- 10 minute presentation during the interview.
This should detail what basic and additional props you would include in a BEACH PROP BOX and what extension activities you would suggest to go along with it.

Now, let me start by saying if my job is to create prop boxes I have it made. However giving a 5 – 10 presentation on it is another story completely. I’m shy, damn it. I already have a million ideas about it and I don’t think it will be hard to find objects ( beach blanket, buckets, stuffed whales and fish, boats, sunscreen, etc), stories ( I don’t know any beach books off the top of my head but I am sure it would be easy enough to find some), songs (catch a wave, surfin’ safari, itsy bitsy teenie weenie yellow polka dot bikini, etc) and then the extended activities that could be introduced because of the above mentioned props.. When I was in college we had do make / create a lot of our activities and it really was one of the best parts of the whole deal.
I’m still not sure if this is what I am looking to do but it beats doing nothing, right? I’m a little excited and a lot nervous. I’m not going to get my hopes up but honestly I have never gone to a job interview I didn’t get. (:

So I have a week to prepare my material and myself. Eeps.

Happy Birthday Melanie

February 23rd, 2006 @ 4:36 am

My little sister turned 19 today; there are 11 years between us. Most days I don’t feel old, however today I do. When I sit and think that I’ll be 30 this year it doesn’t scare me. I don’t feel 30, I feel like I am in my mid 20’s.

It’s when I look at people I know whether it be my sister or younger cousins and I can remember when they were a baby that I feel old. It’s when I can remember changing their diapers or babysitting them that I feel old.

Mother – When I was your age I had three kids, was separated from my first husband and in a new relationship.

Me – I don’t feel old.

Mother – People who are 18 think you are old.

Me – that’s not true, most people think I am only 23 or 24. Hell sometimes I am even mistaken for a teenager.

I hope it’s because I look young and not because I act immature. Heh
