LINDA: What’s your job?
ME: I...don’t have one.
LINDA: Well then I have a job for you. It’s only a week and it pays ten bucks an hour, but we’re looking for students who can help with the math refresher course.
Of course, I was interested! She said that I can come in on Monday to get signed up for payroll and that she’ll give me a spot.
I took the math refresher course the week before spring semester started this year and it was very helpful. It’s for students who have been away from math for a while and need a reboot. It’s five hours a day for five days toward the end of August, which is a lot more than I have right now in terms of employment. And it’s math experience, which is a plus in any form. And it’ll pay for the new tires I bought at Sam’s Club today, so I’m all for it.
Basically, I'll help the professor during class when he or she takes breaks for students to work on sample exercises. I'm supposed to make myself available to answer questions and work out problems with people.
Sounds like a great opportunity. This will likely be more productive than one might think.
ReplyDeleteI'm hoping that, at the very least, this makes me more broadly known in the math department. I want to be top of mind when other opportunities arise. And who knows? Maybe the professor I work with will know of an opportunity in the future.
DeleteWe really are very very blessed. Some times I think it's the Lord who has us top of mind.
ReplyDeleteAnd yay for income!
Also, yay for Linda! We should go visit her again with Richie.
I know she'd love that. Though, the math building gets demolished soon, so we might have to wait a little while so that the math department can move to its new location.
