man, who knew volunteer work got you to places like this? just this past thursday was the start of the focus-the-nation teach-in at uh, for which i was volunteering on the planning committee. it wasn't that bad- i made posters and spread the word to students in the dorms and at the arch building, helped plan the event itself, offered suggestions for things, that kind of stuff. for the event, there was a speaker panel on climate change, tables with flyers and petitions and sign-ups and things, and a line of "eco-friendly" cars outside with their hoods up for students to poke around in. i was working the table for the student environmental club, and the table next to ours was from environment texas, an advocacy organization which i've coincidentally been donating to for over a year now. so colin, the guy from envirtx, started chatting with me and we signed each others' petitions (*eyeroll* that sounds so weird) and he asked if i might be interested in doing internships or volunteer work, and i said yes.
SO HE CALLED ME TODAY AND WE DID A PHONE INTERVIEW AND HE WANTS TO HIRE ME. omg.
*glee*
except now i need to figure out how to write a proper resume, and not fumble horribly through an interview, and crap, did i even bring any of my nice clothes to houston this semester? *flails* i feel super-unprepared for this. it's all official and stuff! colin is forwarding my info to a couple different houston organizations that take interns from envirtx, like GHASP and ICLEI, and they will call me sometime next week for an interview. omg what do i do?!?!
but still. i am so made of win. woot!!!!
