I started my new part-time job with Interlink on February 1st. I have loved my first month. Although a lot of it has been detail work, I am enjoying seeing the improvements I have been able to make to the delegation and intern processes.
One of my big projects has been revising the delegation handbook. This is a book that we give to each delegate in order to prepare them for their trip to Kazakhstan. I have enjoyed going through it and adding pictures and content. Before I went to Kazakhstan, I had helped update the same handbook. It is kind of funny to look back on it now and think about how much I thought I understood about life in Kazakhstan before I even went over there to live. I am looking forward to adding more about the culture that I grew to love. I have also been working with two interns that will be traveling to Kazakhstan in the next few months. I especially enjoy being able to share my love for the Kazakh people with them.
I continue to sub a couple days a week. I just finished two days of subbing Kindergarten. That age is pretty entertaining, but is also fairly tiring. I forget how much they need constant help. I think I only had three children cry today - not too bad.
I have recently picked up a part-time job answering after hours calls for a plumbing company about 7 days a month. I still find it kind of funny every time I have to answer a phone because I have to say "It's a great day." I'm just waiting for the day that someone with a plumbing problem informs me that it is NOT a great day for them.
Well, now that I have updated you on the general things I am doing, I will try to post more regularly with stories and entertaining things that are going on in my life. I am thoroughly enjoying life and looking forward to a restful weekend.
