Well hello!! And happy new year. A new year. Wow. Ridiculous. Here I am. All graduated and back in the country and everything. I even moved back in with my mom, which has been absolutely lovely. I've been missing my blogging and I figured as long as I was awake, this was a perfect time for it.
Since I've been back I've been going through one of those phases where everyone keeps asking "So, Steph, what's your plan now?" Man. I am so tired of people asking!!! It's a fair question, I would be curious too, the problem is: I didn't have an answer! I got really good at just smiling and saying, "I don't know!" as if it's all just one grand adventure and I couldn't be happier that I don't have a plan. Wrong wrong wrong! I'm a plan girl and I need a plan so... now I kind of have one. I've been working really hard and getting things done and filling out applications and things are starting to come together.
First of all, I am all registered to start substitute teaching in the Northshore School District -- woohoo!! It's not my first choice of things to do but the extra experience would be excellent and, let's face it, I could use some kind of an income. I'll probably apply to sub with another district or two to give myself a better chance of getting work.
Secondly, I'm going to start selling Pampered Chef! Also very exciting. I love cooking/baking and I love kitchen things and I think it will be great fun. I ordered my stuff for it this weekend and I've got 4 parties lined up as of right now.
Thirdly, I'm working on getting some sort of an internship or something with an event coordinator. I had coffee one last week and she's hoping that maybe I will be able to work for her a little bit this spring and summer. I would really love to learn more about that industry and do some networking. I think I could be quite good at that planning slash coordinating stuff.
And finally, I am going to start getting to sleep earlier!!! I don't know what my problem is. I just can't get my brain to settle down, which is why I am typing this at 2am...
So that's the plan. At least for now. I'll keep you updated.
