I have a summer job! OK, it's not really a job, because I don't get paid for it. But I do still get my stipend from AmeriCorps because my term runs through the end of July (and into August, if need be---but I hope it's not the case). I'm working at the Northfield middle school as part of the Summer Plus Program, basically a fun version of summer school for Northfielder children from grades K-8. I had my first day today, rather unexpectedly (I only thought I was arriving so I could meet with the people---turns out they registered me anyway). The kids are alright so far, I mean, as far as third graders go. I am a bit indebted to one of the kindergarten classes that I had in Cannon Falls for preparing me (they're nice kids, but also a bit crazy), so hopefully I'll be ready. I mean, I've already been thrown into the fire a bit.
A friend of mine moves away this week. I have to say I've been lucky and thankful to have been able to hang out with Kevin on multiple weekends this year, and it's gonna be a bit weird knowing he'll be gone for the next month. He might return to Minnesota, and he might not. But if he does, I might have a new roommate next year.
