Skate Art:
I've been entertained by and attracted to skateboarding in recent months. It's one of those, "That's so cool! I wish I could do that!" kinds of things. Well, my friend Trevor taught me some basics and gave me a skateboard and I started skateboarding. Somewhere in the process, Trevor decided to repaint the bottom of the skateboard that he later gave to me. We primed it white and then splattered orange paint down the middle of it. I eventually broke the skateboard, trying to do tricks on it, and my friend Brett gave me a new one. Now I'm trying to do my OWN paint job on the new skateboard. ... it's coming slowly, but it's coming.
Sandwich Art:
I am officially a "Sandwich Artist" again. I am working at Subway, bouncing between the Niles restaurants and the one in Edwardsburg. It was a little humbling to apply again at Subway, when my hopes were to be in Art College or at a higher paying job at this point. However, I began to see that this could be an opportunity to be faithful with the little that I've been given and then grow and build from there.
Music:
The Lord has given me talent in the area of music. Lately I have been playing piano at home in my free time. Half of the time I play or work on songs that I know from famous, popular artists and musicians. And at other times I make up my own tunes within the same keys that those songs are played. I was recently invited to play piano at an art gallery for an upcoming gallery reception. God knows if I'll be able to make it, provided I can get the evening off from work and nothing else comes up. It's motivating and exciting though.
Job Interview:
I heard back from CTS in Elkhart, they scheduled me in for an interview on Wednesday, and I went and intereviewed with them. They didn't offer me the job on the spot, but I may hear back from them in the coming weeks. I heard from one employee that it takes a while for such things to get done there.
The interview went well; thank the Lord.
CTS is a manufacturing place for electronic sensors for automobiles. They make sensors and are starting to make actuators (no I'm not sure what an actuator is well enough to explain what it is. Sensors tell the computer what is happening and moving. Actuators actually make things move. ... That's most of what I know about it). But it would be pretty good pay. $11.50/hr for the first year, and $12.50/hr after that. It'd be a UAW union job after the 4 month 'trial' period, complete with benefits and such.
