Update!

I apologize for forgetting about this blog and keeping everyone on their toes for months. Do not worry, life has improved since I last wrote. I have since graduated from UMass D and moved back into my seasonal job of landscaping. Things just seemed too crazy last semester to start a career job right out of school. I'm glad I made the decision to relax a little more this summer and have an outdoor job for probably the last time. However, those rainy days really motivate me to search for a real job soon!

Speaking of a new job, I recently applied at a company called MEDITECH, Inc based out of Westwood, MA. I had an interview back in the spring with them, however I was not able to further pursue the job because of my commitment to landscape till mid September. This past week I had my first interview and I thought it went pretty well. My interviewer told me that they would get back in the next 4-5 days to possibly set up another interview. The very next day, I received a call asking "when can you come back in again?" So I guess they like me! My second interview is this upcoming Friday which will consist of me giving a 15 min presentation on any health care topic to several managers. I am def nervous, but I have enough presentation experience that I should feel somewhat comfortable once I start. I'm gonna do some research on the recent legislation in MA that requires everyone to have some form of health insurance and how this will affect the health care industry as well as low income families.

Besides this new employment opportunity I am also getting more involved in the remodeling project for our new church function center. I have no construction experience, but I am helping out my best with designing a 3D model that we will base the project on and show the church. It is very time consuming but once it is completed I really think it will help people get excited about it. Here are a few samples of the work in progress:











So those are a few things going on in my life now for the summer. Hopefully I'll get on here more often to give more updates about other areas of my life! Haha I will keep you in suspense until then...
