Finally an update.

It's been forever since I've updated.

Classes have started and seem like they're going to go well. I'm taking Cognitive Psychology, Research Methods in Developmental Psychology, the second level statistics course, Interpretive Practices (a required course for anyone doing anything English related), and another English literature class on race and representation.

I'm working at the Children's School again. I'm in the classroom twice a week, in the office for two afternoons, and doing some work on the weekends to make up for the fact that they're missing an assistant teacher. I also picked up a babysitting job. Three nights a week from 5 until about 8:30 I babysit for a ridiculously well-to-do family. They have two boys and an 18 month old, but I mostly am responsible for the 18 month old (at least one parent is typically home, often both of them). It's a good job and pays well, but I still find it so odd to have a babysitter when you're home. Oh well. In total, I've been working about thirty hours a week.

President of a new club we started (to raise awareness of things happening outside of CMU on campus). A week from now I will know if I'm going to be an officer for ALLIES, where I'm already running a program and on a few committees. Oh, and of course helping my favorite boys with their rush.

In other words, life is good but ridiculously busy. My dorm apartment is really nice. I've been doing less cooking than I would like to be, but this is mostly because of the babysitting (they feed me dinner while I'm there).

Clearly things with finances worked out for the most part. Still trying to put things together, but it's ooking like it's going to pull together, with the exception of one ridiculous loan we're trying to switch.

Hopefully I'll get in a better habit of updating this. I haven't been updating my other blog either.
