[CENTER][FONT="Century Gothic"][COLOR="Darkorchid"]So, I've come back to Menewsha. I don't think anyone is going to remember me or even recognize me, but it doesn't matter. I'm back to make new friends, get back into this website and enjoy myself. I joined back in March of 2007, left in 2009.
I've done a lot in a couple of years. I got out of a very long term relationship in a rather crappy way, but hey! At least he didn't dump me the day before he shipped off like was his original plan...but I met the sweetest guy and we've been together for over a year now.
I graduated college with a degree in Sociology and a minor in Anthropology/Sociology combination. (Our school has such a small department that when I enrolled there was no straight Anthropology minor, there is now!)
For awhile I worked three jobs, but only two were paying. I had to work to carry my weight in terms of $$$ but still had to do an internship or I was never going to get into my career and field. Last Friday the 13th the director at my internship offered me a paid position, so I got to quit one of my jobs and my first real day was last Monday! Next week I start a regular schedule.
So currently I work as a page at our public library, hence all the books I read, all the time. And I work a resource room at our towns transitional housing unit for women. I call it that because its not totally a homeless shelter. Some women come to us under crisis as recommended by our advocate agencies or other social services and law enforcement. They are with us for a little while and then are moved on to the appropriate places and we also have some women who are with us that live there as their home. The rest of them are allowed two years and in that time I will help them find jobs, fill out forms, get their GED if need be, learn basic computer skills, budgeting skills and we've started nutrition and budget eating.
I'll also start fundraising and the like soon, our library is lacking and being literally next door to our public library (yes my other job!) you'd think it'd be easy to get resource but books like GED prep are ALWAYS checked out. (Or lost, people like to steal those).
Well, that's me. I don't know if anyone will read this or care, or bother to strike up conversation but I posted it. I'm back. :yumeh1:
