Finally an Update!

Hello everybody!  I know that it has been forever since I posted on my blog, but I have been very busy with work and with school finally starting again!  I wanted to write a quick update about what I have been up to here in Brookings!

Today was officially my last day working at the movie theater here in Brookings!  It was a little sad, but I have a good reason for leaving!  Since I FINALLY turned 21 last month, I was offered a better job at Hy-Vee!  I am now the Alcohol Contact at the front of the store on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday nights.  It's hard to explain exactly what I will be doing, but basically I'm assisting the manager that's upfront on those nights.  It's nice because I will now have a set schedule and a guaranteed amount of hours, which is something that I wasn't always getting when I was working at the movie theater.  I'm excited to start and officially begin training tomorrow! :)

My second bit of news is that I also got a job in the Brookings School District!  I am a playground/ lunchroom attendant at one of the elementary schools here in town!  I work an hour or two every day, which probably doesn't seem like a lot, but I have a full schedule of classes this semester.  This job gives me the opportunity to be in the school district, be around children, and is also a great time filler when I only have free time between my classes!

I hope that everybody is having a great September!  It has been really chilly these last few days, but I'm loving the fall weather! :)
