Hey all,
First off, I want to say that I actually announced my decision to do Job Corps on Facebook this week, so now that all that is done, I can be at ease.
I got my official "here is your date" phone call today (even though I knew the date for a while now). Basically they just asked me information I was already asked at the interviews (do I know the no tolerance policy, do I know about the arrival drug test, am I comfortable around different races/backgrounds etc. etc.)
After the checklist I was told that I would be receiving my welcome packet in the mail and to read over it. I have to be at Grafton at 10am Tuesday morning.....
I started packing yesterday in preparation for the move, but now it seems so real...I'm wicked nervous.
Luckily I won't have time to brood on the subject. I'm going to be WICKED busy this coming weekend....though of course, that'll make getting ready that much more difficult since I am still waiting for some things in the mail...but whatever.
Tonight
Tim and I are going to Walmart (to get some pictures I wanted to get for my bulletin board) and Disney Store (because we pre-ordered Tangled! Woot!)
Tomorrow (Thursday)
I have my asthma test at 8am in the morning. They get to put me through some of the worse tests I can imagine...last time I had the test done I was around 9-10 years old, and all I remember is being put in a little chamber where they cut off the oxygen....I'm NOT looking forward to this test!
After my asthma test we are going straight down to Pennsylvania for a Tim's friend's wedding (My Best Friend's Wedding anyone?).
Shortly after we arrive, we are going to the rehearsal dinner.
Friday
I get to meet Tim's dad, step mom, step brother, and his girlfriend all for the same time for breakfast....that asthma test doesn't sound so bad now doesn't it.....
After that, it'll be the wedding for Tim's friend.
Saturday
I believe this is the day that we are meeting one of Tim's other friends/business partner. Not entirely sure though.
Sunday
Drive back to NH after a stressful weekend meeting new people etc. I guess that will be the end of my "Review" before the "Final Exam" socially on Tuesday (aka Job Corps).
Monday
Get the rest of my crap together, buy a couple new things, pick up a couple things from my doctor, have a few breakdowns, all that fun stuff that comes with nerves.
Also the last night for a while that I will get to sleep in my own bed...
Tuesday
I arrive at Grafton Job Corps at 10am
Busy busy time coming up, isn't it?
I feel that if I can get through this stressful weekend full of new "social encounters" etc., Job Corps will be easy..
But something tells me I'd rather take the asthma test tons of times >_<
You haven't posted since you went in...finally discovering that when a place has THOUSANDS of bad reviews...it is a BAD PLACE, hun?
ReplyDeleteI am a normal person, not a rebel, idiot, criminal, junky, or delinquent. Yet even I have written about how horrible Jobcorps is. I went to the one you are in now. As did my brother.
The place is a cesspool of hate and illegal activities...and I am not talking about the trainees.
I am so sorry I never saw this until it was too late for you. Good Luck !!!!
