Bonus Job #8: Character at Birthday Party!

Job Title: Angelina Ballerina

Job description: I have a wonderful friend who asked me to be Angelina Ballerina at her daughter's 6th birthday party. I danced for 9 years when I was younger, so I still remember a lot of ballet. Thankfully, I haven't grown too much since my last recital, so I was able to wear my old costume and pointe shoes. I did a dance for the children at the party, stretched out with them, and taught them some fun dance moves. I also took a pair of pre-pointe shoes I still have and let the girls try them on and get pictures in pointe shoes. I know that would have fascinated me when I was that age!

Advantages of job: I got to play with children and get paid to do it! 

Job Salary: $20/hour

How to get this kind of job: There are several agencies that hire out characters for birthday parties. I got this job from my friends knowing my background in dance, and that I love working with children.

The End of Summer :)

This Wednesday, my summer officially is ended and I will be back to classes, homework, reading assignments, and lab sessions. In the past 13 weeks, I have applied for over 20 jobs, been interviewed, and worked 7 different jobs! I didn't reach my goal of 10 jobs, but 7 seems pretty close to me. My odd job summer adventure was a blast, and I have met so many new people and had so many exciting experiences. I'm so glad I made the decision to pursue a working summer.
Some of my jobs will continue during the school year, while others are officially over. It was so much fun teaching violin lessons this summer to 2 very special students, and I hope that is something I can do in the future too. I will continue banquet serving on weekends, and I will also keep posting ads on craigslist for Job #7.

Thanks for following my blog this summer! I hope you had fun reading about my experiences and maybe were inspired to try a new job or experience.

P.S. Keep a look-out for a bonus Job #8 in the coming weeks!!!

A Day to be Lazy...

Besides doing my daily posting for my Job #7, I have had a fun-filled, lazy, work-free day. Went bowling with my coworkers at the Marriott for our 2nd Quarter Bowling Outing today and won a 1-night stay with breakfast for 2 at a hotel in Atlanta!!! Can't wait to go sleep like royalty sometime with the family just for fun :) 

Also, raked in about $2,000 in cash and assets this afternoon...............................in Monopoly with my friends :P Good times. Which leads to the official 'answer-back' for this post: What's your favorite board game to play with your family? Make sure you comment with your answer!

 

As always, thanks for reading :) Keep checking back for more posts.
