....

I hate leaving the entry title box blank but i cant really think of anything to call this entry.

Thanksgiving was good. We went to my aunt's house in Merrrimac Mass for dinner and went to see my cousin Cameron play football before that. The game was pretty awesome and it was suprisingsly not as cold as I thought it would be outside. Yesterday I went to the mall and did some christmas shopping.. got most ofit done actually which is nice.. now all I have to do is wrap everything.
This week is going to be so busy between taking care of phone calls, more job research appointments and everything else I'm gonna look real foward to Saturday when I go up to Henniker to have a holiday party with all my friends @ NEC.

Christmas is my favorite time of the year!




and there are times when keeping this blog seems increibly pointless.

Busy Busy

Well I've been busy.... and don't really get the chance to update this blog much. I am actually considering deleting this blog and my livejournal because I have feel like there's nothing in it for me anymore because 50% of what I write about in here ends up being to personal to post on the internet.

Anyway... job searching still no bites. The list keeps growing of places I send applcations recent places include Wendys , the Nashua Public Library, The Milford Public Library and Market Basket in Milford. Hopefully something will surface soon. Things haven't been looking too great. But I must keep trying.

This weekend was great! Friday I went to the Souhegan Fall Play Broadway Babylon which was awesome and really hillarious. I don't really think I have laughed so hard in a long time. Saturday I went to Meredith with my boyfriend Matt and his cousin to go see High School Musical. I didn't think I would really enjoy the play but I ended up liking it. Yesterday I went to the mall with Heather,Jen Sweeney and Nick Heliner. I didnt really have a lot of money to buy anything so I just browsed.

I am so ready for the holidays! Christmas especially. It's my favorite time of the year!
Later

discombobulated ranting

Sometimes I think writing in an internet blog is kind of pointless. Half of what I want to write about ends up being written in my personal journal because I have learned that writing personal things in an internet journal can lead to drama if the wrong people find it. That's why I didn't write in my livejournal a lot last year when I was going through the difficult stuff with Will Porter. I didn't want to put myself in a bad light to other people and everyone i worked with at the Barn Playhouse. I got too emotionally attached to Will and I was kind of afraid that he was going to forget about me...sometimes I'm worried that he still has because we haven't spoken to each other since last November. I suppose the ball will just be in his court and if he ever decides he wants to contact me then he will when he's ready too.

Job search is still realtivlely stressing me out. I had an interview at Market Basket the other day and I kind of feel like I screwed it up a little bit so I am hoping I get the job. I started my shadowing for substitue teaching special needs kids the other day. The student I'm working with is so adorable. I really wish I had majored in education instead of journalism. I am kind of kicking myself for that.

The whole thing with the California governement repealing Proposition 8 which is related to gay and lesbian marriage rights really agitates me. I am a strong beleiver in equal rights for everyone no matter of disability, religion, race or sexual orientaion. Basically I think that proposition 8 pretty much discriminates against gay couples to marry which is unfair. Love should be universal between two people wheater they are straight, gay or bi.

I had a blind date the other day with one of the people who saw my personal ad on craigslist. His name is Tim and he seems really nice. We're making plans to go out again later this week.

Friday night I went to the Masquerade Ball at NEC with Matt. It was a pretty fun time and it was good to see my NEC friends. What A BLAST!!!!

Time for dinner!
Janine

YES!!!

OBAMA WON THE ELECTION!!!!!!!

I am beyond happy right now. The looks of this country could finally start to turn around. I am confident that things will start to look better.. especially with the job market and the war in Iraq. Hopefully the troops will be home soon and for good with no more other deployments.

I love my Peacock Players internship. The people there are so nice. Perhaps I will like this better than working at the Barn Playhouse... I can't be sure yet. I can't wait to see Once Upon A Mattress it sounds like it's gonna be a really good show. I went to the play rehearsal for the Souhean fall play today to interview people for my article for the Milford Cabinet. That show looks like it's coming along really well. I can't wait to see it in a couple weeks.

Still no bites on the job search yet. Didn't get the paraprofessional job @ Mt Pleasant Elementary School. Kind of disappointed about that actually. Had an interview at Shaws the other day... didn't hear back from them yet. Had an interview at Market Basket yesterday for a cashiering position.. hopefullly I get the job there. I NEED MONEY so I can start paying back my loans... not to mention I plan on investing on taking some classes at the Tech College in the spring for Early Childhood Education. I also plan on saving some money so I can go back to New York in the spring. So much to save money for. Gotta budget it the right way because the ultimate goal is to move out of my house in the next two years and move to Portsmouth or Boston. I need to live in a place that has a decent social life and Amherst and Milford really do not have much in the way of social life.


Well anyway I need to go to bed now because I have a job interview/ shadowing thing for the special education department for SAU 39 and I need to be at Mont Vernon Village School @ 8:30 am all chipper and perky.

Good night goood night parting is such sweet sorrow
Sweet Janine

BOO!

HAPPY HALLOWEEN EVERYONE!!!

I am really hoping I get a bite for a job that pays something soon that is full time. I think the reason why my paraprofessional special education jobs that i am interviewing for aren't panning out is because I don't have the proper credentials because I didn't take enough education classes at school. I am going to be applying for a substitue paraprofessional job in the Amherst/Mt Vernon school district. I have two interviews next week one at Shaws on Monday and one at Market Basket on Wednesday. Hopefully I'll get hired by one of them.
I am so excited about starting my internhip with Peacock Players on Wednesday. I am looking foward to diving back in to doing publicity stuff again and seeing some more awesome theatre shows. I am also excited about starting my freelance job for the Milford Cabinet writing articles about the local theatre shows.
Obama better when the election.. if Mccain wins I think i might just move to Canada.

Yesterday I went to Henniker for the CTE Play Kennedy's Children and for my friends' Sam and Morgan's 21st Birthday Party. My whole group of friends went out for dinner before the show at Sonny's and it was awesome. The play was better than I expected it to be. It was really thought provoking and poweful. Everybody did amazing. The party was awesome. Autumn and I were the only two people who dressed up. I was Velma Kelly from Chicago and she was Mrs. Lovett from Sweeney Todd. I love my NEC friends and I totally miss everyone!

I really want to get back on the dating scene. I posted a personal ad on craigslist and so far it seems to be genereating decent results. From my experiene with my personal ad that I put in the NewEnglander sophomore year I kept things short and sweet Let's see where that will lead me.

Time for bed. Busy busy day tomorrow doing stuff for the Barack Obama campaign

Nervous

Yesterday I went to an NEC alumni event in Boston with Matt. Not a lot of people that either of us graduated with were there but we made the best of it anyways and mingled with those who were there most of which graduated before we were there. It was cool to meet people from past years and find out what they have been up to since they graduated from NEC. I stayed over Matt's house and had a nice time. He invited me over to his house in Maine once he moves in. I can't wait... I love the area of Maine where is moving too Kennebunk. That's one of my favorite placess in Maine to visit besides Kittery, York and Wells.

I have to go to bed because I have an interview tomorrow at Mt Pleasant Elementary School in Nashua for a paraprofessional specoal education job. I am so nervous about it. I really want this job badly so I am hoping the interview will go well.
This week consists of the following

• Job interview tomorrow.
• Volunteering for the Barack Obama Capaign office in Milford on Tuesday,Friday and Saturday.
• Eye appointment on Wednesday and getting new glasses
• Going up to NEC on Thursday to go see the CTE play Kennedy's Children and also for Sam and Morgan's bday party. I'm gonna sex it up by being Velma Kelly from Chicago for Halloween.

Time for bed.

Among many strikeouts 2 homeruns

The job search is pretty much almost over!
Yesterday I had an interview with the business manager of Peacock Players a theatre troupe in Nashua. I start my internship with the publicity department November 10th. I am so very excited. Things have come full circle for me because I did theatre camp there in high school and have always been a huge fan of all the shows that they do.
This morning I had an interview with the editor of the Milford Cabinet. I will be doing freelance work covering local theatre performances starting after the election.
Monday I have an interview at an elementary school in Nashua for a paraprofessional special education job. I amvery nervous about it. If I get this job then my stress with having to find a job will be over!

So happy! I want to celebrate!! Oh wait... i'lll do that next week when I go out to dinner with my friends before the CTE play. *note to self* call box office to reserve tickets
