It's been a great first week back working at the library and getting excited about developing an art and music program for the school. Trisha from AmeriCorp has been helping me write a proposal that we will present in a few weeks. We have a meeting with the principal next week. The Hands On project mananger told me last week that yes, that sounds great, now put it together and do a proposal and presentation. I have never done anything like this so I have a lot to learn and have been tapping the brains of art and music teachers.
When I got here it was at full capacity but in the past few days we have only had 40 people here-such a relief. I don't think I realized just how stressful it has been.
I have an easy day of work today-painting a mural and making dinner with D.
My camera is officailly dead after a week of trying to get it working. I've been really bummed about it as I've seen so much in the past week that I could not photograph and with the first of the Mardi Gras parades coming up...I finally decided to just keep writing the blog without pictures.
I'll probably break down and get a cheap digital camera. I don't need anything fancy here.
I'm off to the kitchen to start chopping veggies.
