beggars can be choosers

I started my new job last week on thursday. it was a fairly long commute, but thanks to my friend and roomie i found it easily. of course i got there way too early, so i took a little walk around the block and then made my way to the school, although its not really a school its a playgroup site? location? i'm not really sure what to call it. I beat my trainer there and had to wait for a while. and what do you know, my trainer was from sweeden and prior to teaching was a model. . .cool.

instead of just job shadowing i taught part of the first class of the day. it went ok, not great, but ok. the classes are very small, 6-8 students, and last an hour and a half. so if the students were older than 2 years they would come in the class alone, and if they were under they come in the class with a parent or caregiver. the youngest students were 8 months old. seriously, how do you teach an 8 month old?? i was not loving that. i just don't take to babies, i like kids when they grow a personality, otherwise what's the point.

so i tried to give the job a fair chance, and keep an open mind, but after my second day i just knew this was not the job for me. and i'm not desolate, so i went ahead and quit. not the most responsible decision, moving to a foreign country without a job, then finding one, and then quitting it after 2 days. i just don't know if i'm built to work a full time job, haha, just jokes, i'm sure i can as long as its not a horrible unrewarding job that i have to be at on saturday AND sunday, hello, what about my social life!!!

luckily, i have two awesome roommates who were more than supportive and after i sent an email of resignation friday they helped me look for some jobs. i applied for quite a few, and the next day got a couple calls and a couple emails back. right now i've got two interviews lined up, one for friday and one for monday, so all is not lost. . .hopefully :)
