Humidity
I've been recovering from an upper respiatory infection that came on a week ago with a high fever, cough and sore throat. Even with anti-biotics it took three days for my fever to break. I've been staying at Georgia's house and staying away from the kids at the school until I'm all well. I miss being at the library and seeing their faces. But, Hands On got on the ball and got some volunteers to cover for me this week. At Georgia's house I have a room to myself and my own bathroom AND a remote control and TV. It's been nice catching up on Law & Order and American Idol. It's very humid right now and I'm sweating buckets.
Three of the staff members at hands on live in a house they rented and have offered to rent me a room for $100 a month. I'm taking it and moving in this weekend. It's more like a large walk in closet but I am thrilled. March promises to be at full capacity all month long.
I finally finished my application for teach nola, a program designed to get teachers here in NO who are not certified. They offer an intensive training this summer and a mentorship program for next school year. Plus, they pay you! with benefits. I really hope they accept me into the program. I have worked for days on my personal statement and between my friends Jenny and Georgia and my sister Suzanne I think it came out really well. Today I hit the "submit" button. Yippeee.
I'm getting really bored staying here even though it's been great to relax. I'm getting restless to get back into the volunteer stint. Something new is always going on. My friend Hans York who has been touring the cafes of the US singing and playing his music is coming to NO this weekend. I hope to get a group together to hear him.
Outside of that I'm also attending a presentation from another volunteer group called Phoenex where my friend Lindsey volunteers. She loves it there and has been bugging me to join her. I told her I would if they would let me continue to work at least twice a week at the library.
I've got to wash this sweat off of me now.
