My "job"

I read for a living.

Actually, I'm a graduate assistant, and I'm technically the person in charge of music. But there's no work for music right now. In theory I'd be helping the math team, but they don't need help. I asked science, spelling, history, and foreign language and no one needs help.

I did water the office plants yesterday.

Since there's nothing to do, I'm reading. They call it "product familiarization." Not kidding. As in, "She's getting familiar with our books by reading them on company time." Really. It sounds awesome but actually I'm bored to death. I've read a book of Bob Jones Sr.'s sermons, a really uptight-sounding book by his grandson's wife (way too much "Do this; don't do that." nonsense.), and a biography of Amy Carmichael. Now I'm reading a book on Martin Luther.

I may get two years' worth of theology just from my job, at this rate.

So work is a little slow right now. But Hope and Joy are coming tomorrow (the people, not the virtues) so that's just all kinds of exciting. And a kid from Tennessee is coming too - Kathryn - that I just found out about yesterday! Sweet! And school starts next week too! Yay! I'm excited to get back to class, as weird as that sounds. I think I'm like my dad in that way - I'd be a perpetual college student if it were possible. But anyway. Hopefully I'll remember to take first-day-of-school pictures. We shall see. And if my camera ever straightens up and quits being stupid I'll post pictures from Hong Kong AND school. Won't that be lovely.
