August already?

Hey! 
Wish I had happier news on the job front, but I don't. I did not get the job at RHD, but I did just have an interview at Warwick Family Services as a Milieu counselor. I'm not too optimistic about this one. I, first, got to see a little about what I would do as a Milieu counselor. I was with a group of four boys who were 7, 11, and 12 years old. I watched them play a little and eat dinner. They seemed very hyper and didn't listen to their counselor. I then had the interview, which seemed really rushed. The interviewer seemed really tired and didn't seem to want to be there and told me I was "literally the 11th person" she had interviewed that day. Guess my chances of getting this job aren't too good. We'll see.

I need to move on from Panera. I did receive a rejection letter from another foundation that suggested I get a part-time position as a TSS worker. That could be a possibility. I could limit my hours at Panera (which are already cut real short) and then be making enough for loan repayments, which I have to start paying this month.

Word to the wise- do not do Parent Plus loans. Other than this, everything is fine. It will be weird not to be going back to school. I am just really frustrated with the job market. I had applied to also work in Norristown as a Abuse counselor. A girl I used to work with at Maple Village works there and I wrote to her on Facebook to put a good word in their for me. She never responded. So much for "networking".

We are supposed to be going down the shore to Wildwood, NJ for a few days. My dad doesn't really want to go and is upset about being diagnosed with diabetes, and my mom has some sort of infection and is in a lot of pain. I would like to go, but not if we are going to have a bad time. Plus we have to hang out with my cousin's cousin, who is so annoying and socially awkward, which isn't what I would call a vacation. He also has some really big crush on me, but I obviously do not reciprocate the feelings. Hopefully we will get to go again, but we'll see.

Hopefully, by the next time I write I will be employed. But I don't want to get my hopes up too much.
