Nervous
So, I got a job interview in Ny next tuesday (only skipping Hebrew class) and well, I am very nervous. I really want this job. Since I am coming in from Baltimore they are letting me do the interview and one of my trial days (didn't know you had to do trial days) at the same time. So basically I have to go in to the program so that they can see how I interact with the people who work there and the clients. For those of you who have no background in to the special ed. community, I will tell you a little about the job I am applying for. It is a job in a Day Hab, which is where people are trainers or counselors in a day program that is aimed towards making people in developmentally disabled 'homes' more independent. I would work with adults in who are mentally retarded (yes, you can use the term if it is applicable) on learning and honing daily living tasks and other assorted things. Now I have a lot of experience in special education and working with the developmentally disabled, but most of my work in the past has been with children. Kids ranging between 7 and 15. This program is for adults. I have some but very little experience in this area, and for this reason I am extremely nervous. I know a few people working in these types of jobs and most of them had little to no experience in this population at all, so in that vain I have some advantage, but still I am nervous. Prob. cause I want the job so badly, I need this job to get me out of Baltimore, and I need to know that I am going to have this job so that I can start planning my move to Ny.
As a side note I am still trying to start my paper on Blogging. I need some inspiration, wait no time for that, the rough draft is due tom. at 4, ahh I better get to work.

I've personally worked mostly with kids. This semester I started working with adults, but mostly adults with psychiatric mental illness, with only minor mental retardation. Yes, its diffferent.
