i was going to be a camp counsler, but my science/research teacher would have nothing of it (for those of you who know mrs champey, she can be very intimidating
). so, she gave me an application for BNL (Brookhaven National Labs) for a summer research position. so, starting monday, i'm working there. i don't get paid though
.
for money, i seem to be doing odd jobs around the neighbor hood. one thing, i babysit most sunday mornings, cause my mom and her friend go running. so, i watch my mom's friend's 3 kids (two boys are 11, one girl is 8 or 9) and make about 20 bucks that way. then, i got an even stranger job. one of the friend's of another of my mom's friend's (this is getting annoying, isn't it) is going away. they have some animals, two goats, a pony, and a bunch of chickens. so, someone needs to feed the animals every day. who gets the call? i do. so, i get to play 'farmer ian' for the next few days, but i made 60 bucks. then, my aunt's boyfriend needed someone to copy and paste names into the contact cards in microsoft outlook for his business. who do they ask? of course, me. so, i can make somewhere between $100 and $200 from that. i think i'm actually making more money than i would have as a counsler
, and all of the money is off the books, so i actually get to keep it all
