//A whole lotta everything// I'm exhausted! These trips are becoming very draining. Although again, it's better then being in the office, three nights away from my bed suck. I do catch up on my TV watching though when I'm away, so that's a plus, but overall... it sucks to live out of a suitcase... end of story. I spent a lot of time during the trip hearing about "A B C D E F G" stuff... or sorority/fraternity functions. It's cool, but the more time I spent with them while we were working, the more I affirm the fact that that whole scene wasn't for me. I think I'm too independent to even attempt to have rushed something, and again I'm a firm believer that if you're Filipino it's either greek or your Filipino cultural club (same applies to a couple other ethnicities, but for the most part, Filipino kids usually have that choice at their college campuses) Then again there's a nice atmosphere around them while we work. Especially if you find a good one. They got some good kids at SDSU and I'm glad I was able to build this relationship with them with my job so that we could come again. Here's the deal. I'm kind of a front man they like the way I act with the college kids, and use me to act that way with them. LOL no seriously, I'm really good with boys (because I'm a natural guys girl and I used to be a tomboy when I was younger, but we usually work with fraternities instead of sororities... that's just the way it happens) Being social with boys is much easier for me then being social with guys. I usually have common interest with boys (Hip Hop and BBall mostly) and most of these boys we associate with are usually pretty ghetto (so naturally we clique). Most of my other co-workers treat these campus trips as "I'm in charge, you're working for us" but I look at it the other way... coming out to campuses is an opportunity to hang out and work all at the same time. Usually the co-worker that usually goes with me and I make an effort to talk to these guys/girls and be friendly. It's way cooler that way because then it doesn't feel like work, and we look like cool adults! Although it has it's drawbacks sometimes (me jokingly pointing to my nametag saying "I'm in charge dammit" hehe)... I feel this relationship works. If we're fun to hang out with... they don't mind working/hanging out with us. If we make the experience fun, it doesn't seem like a chore. All in all... my little theory has seemed to work out well... and hopefully it will continue when I leave (if I leave) my job. Speaking of which... I haven't really talked about it much, but I'm planning on leaving my job whether I get this TFA thing or not. I plan to make plans to leave in September. That will be a year and one month of me working. It's been a great run, but I don't want to get stuck. And again, I'd like to get back on this teaching track like I said before some audio blogs ago. Although I'm planning... it might not work. So hard to stay focused these next couple of weeks, but I must try. Anyway... hope you all have a great weekend. I'm off to the gym and then tackling my TFA packet.
