You sound as though you're enjoying the volunteer thing. I'm glad the gal who came in calmed your concerns about having filled the forms in wrong. I suspected you were doing it as well as anyone could have done. I'm also glad you're finding out a lot about the area. Nothing like 'natives' to give you the scoop! I'm hoping that a permanent job will result from your contacts from this volunteer gig, if you don't get that one at the school that you want.
In any case, it gets me out of the house, and makes me feel like I'm not completely useless to the world as a whole.
And having a few people from the area to talk to is a definite bonus.
The trip to Loveland for the interview yesterday, scary as that was, was also helpful. Made me determined to do a bit more exploring. Of course, I get lost each and every time I do...even going to the donut place this morning I went in circles for awhile. But now I know that area better than I have, on account of being lost there. ;-) It's not the conventional method for getting to know a town, but if it works...
The same gal at the volunteer job told me there's a German bakery and restaurant down in Loveland. Can't remember if I mentioned that here or not. If I can figure out how to get there...it could be a very dangerous thing. ;-)
