I have not blogged in a while... so here goes! whee!
I got a job today! Woohoo! I'm going to be working as an on-call counselor for the Santa Cruz Community Counseling Center. It's that a mouthful? Lol. Everyone there just calls it the S.C.4. :D I like it! Anywhoo, basically, the place I will be working with is a home living center for people with mental disorders. Elderly, criminals (yikes!), adults, etc... It's a 24 hours/day, 365 days/year facility where the people live, eat, get counseling, have group sessions... all centered toward helping them develop the skills needed to carry out daily life. :) Sounds like an amazing place to me.
It doesn't seem like I will be doing much counseling, but I will be cooking, doing paperwork, interacting with all the residents... that kind of stuff. I'm thinking this will be great experience for me as a student pursuing psychology, so I'm excited. Although, I will have to work over Christmas! Bah! But it isn't that bad... :) My dearest will be home on December 15 and hopefully, since I will be in the area, I will be able to spend it with her. ^_^ That would be wonderful. (I miss her sooooooooo much! The more I get to see her over the holidays, the happier I will be, hehe) So, I'll have to work weekends and holidays, BUT the schedule is made every 2 weeks, soooo, if I know I have plans in 3 weeks, my schedule can be flexible! Aaaaand, my wage starts at $13.19/hr.! Amagad! For a college student, that isn't half bad! :D Hooray having a job with kinda-flexible hours that pays well that is in my desired career field!
So, I'm super excited... I called a couple of people, trying to find someone to go to 99 Bottles with and have a celebratory pint... but no one responded. :( So here I am... 10pm at home... alone, and lacking beer... BOO! Meh, no big deal... I'll watch Heroes!
Until next time! :D
