Summer jobs

I'm curious; what's everyone doing for the summer? Are you staying in Waterloo, or are you going elsewhere? Have you got a job yet, or is that something you're still looking for? Is there anything awesome that you're going to do over the summer?

I myself am staying in Waterloo; I haven't gotten a job yet, but I'm working on it: I want to try and get something that really relates to my experience at Laurier as a writing tutor. My summer's not the most exciting, as I'm pretty much planning on staying here and deciding where I want to go for my Masters (and what kind of Masters I even want to be doing!). Being at the writing centre has really made me want to focus on going into the world of publishing, so I'm currently researching that.

How about everyone else?

Publishing sounds like a worthwhile pursuit. I'm sure your experience as a tutor will serve you well.

As for me, I'm here at the Writing Centre until my contract is up in July. My next job - ideally - would be to teach writing in Southern Europe. Procuring a work permit without an EU passport is reputed to be quite difficult, so I'm hoping to get someone to "sponsor" me.

Also, I'm presenting at the EWCA (European Writing Center Association) Conference in Germany in June. After networking there, I'm planning a little jaunt into Italy.

My future is completely open-ended...which is simultaneously daunting and exciting.
