Hey you guys. The (phone) interview didn’t go that great…The nice lady told me right off the bat that they actually filled the position already…But she was nice enough to refer me to other organizations and opportunities in the community. :3
I’m currently applying for receptionist work in my local area while I complete a few online classes in film/video postproduction, and Spanish language. I’m taking these courses at New Mexico State University. | I also purchased the Arabic language editions of The Prophet, by Kahlil Gibran, and The Kite Runner, by Khaled Hosseini. I’m hoping that by completing these two Arabic language novels, I’ll become much more proficient in modern standard. Basically; I’m working on gaining proficiency in Arabic on my own; and I’m taking formal lessons in Spanish. I took three years of Spanish in high school; I hope I’ll remember most of what I learned from back then. Let’s see what happens, I hope it’ll all connect and come full circle for me, a little bit. My goal is to gain full working proficiency in Arabic and Spanish so that I can converse with my Sudanese family and friends better; and so that I can gain more work opportunities. It’d be absolutely sweet and rewarding if I could work on Arabic-language films and videos and Spanish-language films/vids, once I gain proficiency. It would also help me out a lot in my receptionist/secretarial work, a hundredfold.

Like I mentioned in my previous post, I don’t know why I kept straying from my roots for the past year or so. I knew deep down that creative media work, applied media, is my niche, my field. But I kept on thinking to myself that “there’s something else I should be doing with my life at this time,” or whatever. I kept on thinking that I needed something a little bit more challenging and “strenuous” for me, I guess. I recently realized that that’s not the way to decide on a career. It’s high time for me to do what I’m most comfortable with, something that I can grow within and possibly help expand as a discipline, and etc. It’s all in a day’s work, there’s nothing wrong with any of these jobs out there. We’re all important, children of god.
My classes start in mid-August, I’m happy and nervous about it. (the film/video class and the Spanish class.)
Best of luck to everyone. God is with everyone; that iridescent spirit, the source of peace..
