I had given up trying to find a job using my German til I spoke with some folks at the Alfred University Career Development Center who convinced me to give it another shot. I searched linkedin and bam, search results! I was psyched about this position because I would get to use my German in [...]
Today Jamie and I went to the Tucson Memorial Children’s Park, where Cory’s name is on the wall. We even added some stickers next to his name, something she does every 1st day of the month. Jamie calls this Cory’s birthday in heaven. Here are some pictures of the park and the walls, including Cory’s [...]
So I was working on redoing my resume last week, because it’s become pretty clear to me that my resume as I wrote it was not working to my advantage. I had format of Education and then below that Employer –> City, date. Beneath the employer, there were bullet points of everything I did. This [...]

So I Syracuse on April 11th to go to Minneapolis for a job interview (which I subsequently did not get), and when I left I said "Oh I’ll be back in 2 weeks." Ya. When I arrived in Rochester I called a friend from Concordia Language Village and asked if they needed German counselors, and [...]
I’ve now been back in the US for a week and a day, and it’s been a pretty long week. I spent most of it falling asleep at 7:30 pm and waking up around 5 am, but I seem to be back into the swing of things now. I surprised myself by getting a job [...]
