Oi! It is morning and gosh I am tired. I thought staying the night in your own bed is better for your sleep. It turns out I sleep better on a futon my dad's office then I to at home. It is hard to focus. Anyway, to pull me to a focus point I am creating my to-do-list here. My to-do-list relates to my new job. Yes, the big news is that I was offered a position with Girl Scout San Diego. All that preliminary work paid off. So, now I am approaching my last week at Heritage Digital Academy. I need to make sure my programs are supported. I am terrified of the thought that these programs will die without me. Here is what I need to do:
- Talk to Jen- How did rallying support go?
- Is Christian mentoring Nina?
- Who is helping with Spanish?
- When are we going to meet with Mark for Cheer?
- House Parent Council
- Call Claudine. Please, Please can you do Mondays??
- E-mail/Call everyone about the meeting time
- Get Jen PTO Starter Kit
- Talk to Jen about leading a meeting/finding a leader
- Compile folder of information
- Call James/Matt about Soccer
- Stop Putting it off!
- Interns need paperwork!
- Showcase
- Broadcast over PA (EW Can someone else do it?)
- E-mail out to parents
- E-mail permission form to parents
- Write tryouts on the board
- Make a poster
- Dine and Donate Make a poster
- Make fliers
- Send out e-mails
- Contact Boomers
- Kelsey Yearbook
- Come up with Game plan. Dates and Schedule.
- E-mail out Blurbs
- E-mail parents about party
- Figure out last date of Yearbook
- Talk to Jen about Jake
- Look through files
- Put together binder of information
- Newsletter
That is all I think I have to do. Usually, I imagine I have more to do. I guess with a week left at HDA, life is not about building, it is about maintaining. It is about making sure the programs I am creating have enough support to survive. Part of me does not want to leave HDA. I know the ropes here. I have gained connections with the staff and community. I feel like things are just getting started and here I am leaving. The other part of me is excited for this new endeavor where I finally get paid. A full time position with benefits. I will not be making much, but I really feel like it is a start. Girl Scouts will be a place to grow and develop professionally.
I know I mention money and part of me feels sick for doing so. My heart goes out to programs with insufficient funding. Money is not extremely important to me. I do not need to live a extravagant lifestyle. I do want to eventually live on my own without a roommate. I guess to some people that is extravagant. I feel like life is all about perspective. You can see the glass as half empty or half full. You can look at the world around you and see the potential. Anyway, in many places (yes I am generalizing and I am not proud of it) ..... Got to go and actually get work done. Hopefully, I will finish with you soon.
