Heck yeah! I finally got a job!!!!! Whoooo! I will be baby-sitting this summer for my mother's co-worker at the elementary Montessori school she works at. She does private swimming lessons during the week, and her old sitter can't sit anymore, so my mother mentioned to her how I was looking for a summer job. It pays $7 an hour, and I'll be there for at least two hours a day every day I work. I start a week from tomorrow (next Tuesday) at 3:00 pm.
I'm new to the whole "working" thing, and I'm not quite sure how much is a good amount of money to be paid daily, but I really don't care all that much. This is the first time that I will be making any of my own money without having to ask my parents for everything. Who knows? Maybe I'll have enough to spend on something nice in New York City, or something.
Did I mention I was going back to New York for the summer? I definitely told Hailey, but I didn't tell you, whoever "you" applies to.
Interruption!: If you are reading this blog at all, I would very much like a comment, just so I know you're there! Please comment, whoever you are, wherever you are!
So, yeah. I'll be in NYC from about June 27 to somewhere around July 10, depending on how long we wanna stay until we get bored. We will be staying in Staten Island which, for those of you who don't know -- and there seem to be a lot of you -- is one of the boroughs of NYC. It's a nice-sized island connected to Brooklyn by the Verrazano-Narrows Bridge.
I've seen the city only once, when I was very little and only cared about the playground we went to with the "statue man", you know, that guy painted entirely silver that you think is just a statue until he moves and scares the crap out of you. Back then, my dad says, I was to young to really appreciate it. I pretty much agree. I've been wanting to see New York City for a while. I wanna see Times Square most of all. Times Square at night. With all the lights and everything. I think it'd be pretty cool, but I always seem to think things to be greater than they really are.
Oh yeah. By the way, Hailey isn't going to be around this week. She's got camp. I think it's some sort of religious camp. So, she'll be gone this week and won't be able to reply. Not that she ever replies anyway. Yo, Hailes! Hullo! Are you still there? Cause I'm getting sick of this "no response thing". I know I bother you about it all the time, but I mean, you were online a few days ago, weren't you? I'm just getting bored with having to be the one to post all the time.
Also, I miss you! In a strange way, I'm going to miss our old little school. We just got out on Friday. I may not miss most of the people in it, but I'll miss the familiarity of the place. I've been spending the majority of my time there for the past three years. It might be hard to get used to a different, bigger, further away school. Except for the fact that they don't seem to care there if you draw on the desks, and it's an art school, so it might be a bit more fun, but I hope I'll be able to find my way around the place.
Hailey's going to our local high school. We've both been there a few times for chorus and band concerts, and it seems like it should be easy to get around, especially since all the buildings are labeled in big dark letters.
I'm so going to miss you Hailey. That's why I need you to post every so often, because this blog will be a form of communication for us.
I have to go now. The next time I post, I'll be 14 bucks richer!
