New Job!

I got a new job at the Johnson Institute for Responsible Leadership. (http://www.johnsoninstitute-gspia.org/) It seems like it's going to be a good job. It's a full-time position (20 hrs a week is full-time for students). I'll be doing research for various projects and helping to organize programs/lecture series/etc. My boss is also brainstorming for a leadership certification program, so that will be cool to work on.
I'm excited =) Sure beats selling slushies!

Other than that, nothing too exciting. 2 weekends ago, I met up with Amanda in Harrisburg for Courtney's gallery opening. It was a beautiful day. About 30 galleries in Harrisburg were doing an art walk, so Amanda and I walked around while Courtney was with her stuff then we met up afterward. She sold 2 of her 5 pieces that day, and the show is going on for a month, so that's a good sign.

For anyone who doesn't know, Lisa & Dave are getting married in May so I'm doing a lot of planning with them for that, which I love doing =) (I designed the save the date cards)

I've been really getting into working out. I do pilates a couple times a week. I just got a new bathing suit that's suitable for swimming laps, so I started that today. Muscles I didn't know I had are sore!

Well, that's about it for me. Hope everyone is doing well.

Besos!

back in the swing of things

well, I've survived the first 2 weeks of classes. After switching some classes and some classes getting canceled then reinstated, I think I'm finally set for the semester. I'm taking;
Tools for Working in International Development
Advocacy for NGOs
Economics of Development
Accounting for NGOs
Ethnic Conflict & Civil Wars
capstone seminar: Topics in International Political Economy (you can either take a capstone or do a thesis)
*NGOs = non-governmental orgs, aka non-profits

I'm working about 7 hours a week at the place I worked last year at the moment b/c the times they have for shifts are terrible. They're 4 hour shifts that cut across 3/4 of my class periods. I'm looking for another job or a replacement job. I've applied to a bunch of places, so we'll see what happens.

That's about all that's going on right now. I've realized I really enjoy doing Pilates & Yoga, so I do that a lot. I'm going to start swimming laps with a friend of mine, but we both need a bathing suit, so hopefully that will start soon.

Courtney has a gallery opening in Harrisburg tomorrow (Sun) with some women's artist group she's a part of, so Amanda and I are going to go to that.
