As happens with most things during a year of AmeriCorps, this blog has taken a back seat. As my host site has demanded more of my time as well as mental and emotional energy...my bitterness and disdain for the actual "AmeriCorps" part of my "AmeriCorps Year" has flickered to an almost extinguished pile of embers. What else can I say?
I think also that I've grown a bit from last year. I'm able to handle the "Adrama" more wisely this year. That is to say, I've learned how to stay out of it! Lol. Not that a few haven't tried to drag me in to it, but I know from first hand experience how draining it all is to be a part of, and I'll do anything including polarizing other members because I refuse to drink the koolaid.
The director continues to play her games with me and cbear (cherry). Over Thanks Giving she went to the person in charge of volunteers for my host site and asked if she could put in a couple extra hours. And then she did. During her host site visit the director told her she didn't want her volunteering at all at my host site anymore.....even though it had absolutely nothing to do with me or any of the volunteer opportunities I offer to the entire team! Eh...it's funny, she's going to such great lengths to try and distance me and my sister.
I found out that my Arts & Crafts class is more popular then the Parks and Recreation art class. It made me feel slightly successful. Is that bad? I advertise their class in my activity calendar as well as mine however..maybe I could help them boost their attendance as well?
Oh, and I broke my big toe about 3 hours ago:D It hurts!! This was a real quick update, hope to have a better one chalk full of much more interesting info and less introspective mush...but it really depends:)
Questions??? Anyone interested in joining AmeriCorps? LOL!!
