Update

So maybe a good way to start with this is an update on what's been going on.

I took a year off from school, Mount Holyoke College, and I've been spending most of my time in Northampton,MA. I started out working as a Nanny for a family(summer 2007) and then in the Fall of 07 I began working at Herrell's Ice Cream and eventually became an ice cream maker which was pretty cool. All in all that job wasn't making me happy, which was essentially the most important aspect of me taking time off, so I began working as a receptionist at the Firefly Salon. Throughout that whole time I was working as an intern at Class Action Network, a non-profit org based in Hadley, MA. They provide resources, workshops, and consulting on issues of classism in the US. This May they hired me as an administrative assistant and I'll probably continue working there when I start classes in the Fall. Overall I've been really happy, I love living in the Pioneer Vally and I'm actually looking forward to starting classes again.

Also, just this past week I finished up a Macro-Economics course at HCC that I needed for a pre-req at MHC, so it was nice to know that I remember how that whole school thing works.
