Well, I am happy to say that I am no longer unemployed. Although the few weeks off were nice, I was ready to find something to do. I am now working as an Academic Coach at Texas Christian University in Ft. Worth. They offered me the position last Wednesday and I started the next day. I work Mondays and Wednesdays and rotate Fridays with another Coach. It really is the perfect schedule for me and it's ideal for when our little one comes home. I've already been meeting with students and have a calendar full of meetings this week. I work with students who may be struggling to meet a GPA requirement, have disabilities, need help getting organized, are new students, etc. We work on study skills, organization, etc. I really enjoy the job so far and have been able to use a lot of my previous experiences from USI and Ivy Tech. The people I work with are great too, which is always a bonus.
David is still working hard at UTA. Now that orientations are over with he's focusing on other aspects of his job such as working with commuter students and more "in office" things. Yesterday was Six Flags day for UTA, which was fun. However, I am officially giving up roller coaster rides! I used to be able to ride them without a problem. Now, that is not the case. I'm blaming age! The older I get the more nauseated I feel. I learned my lesson the hard way yesterday. I should have taken the puke on the Batman ride as a sign not to go on the ride. Someone had vomited all over our seats right before we got on the ride. The ride had to be shut down temporarily before we could get on it.
We finally got all of the boxes unpacked and our spare bedrooms now look decent (at least you can walk in them). I'll try to post pictures of our pink/purple/flower room as I know several of you have been anxious to see what it looks like.
Until then,
Amanda
