It seems like the only thing I can come
up with as far as writing right now is a to-do list of sorts. But oh
well, whatever. The end of the semester is approaching, and with it,
the increasing workload. Trying to stay calm. My phone survey job did
end, as I predicted, so that will lead me into new job searching (but
I'll get to that later). Trying to get clearer on what I need to
accomplish (or rather, how I'm going to accomplish it) to get caught
up to my peers work-wise and be marketable. It began last semester
with me talking to a few different professors and learning about the
professional organizations and certifications in my field. They are
numerous, so you kinda have to narrow it down based on what you want
to do. The HFS certification from ACSM will be at the end of school
(degree is required to get it). Internship will be the summer after
this (which I'll probably start lining up in the fall). In Nov. I'll
hopefully be able to get AAFA certified at USF (group fitness
instruction). But to get that, I need to either enroll in the 6 week
GFIT program through campus rec (which prepares you for the cert) or
find some other way to learn how to teach group exercise on my own (I
can't take the class for undergrads). Where to do that? I could call
around to some places and see, I guess. And take some normal group
classes on my own to see what they're like. Maybe ask to shadow some
interns at the places I might try to intern later? And lastly, call
AAFA directly and ask. So there's definitely some of that I can get
started on this summer. As well as the CPR certification which is
only a day. Also, I have to create a new resume. As for actually
earning money at something on the side right now, I don't know what
that'll be yet. Also, I finally friended some classmates on facebook
so I feel a little more connected. Lots to do, but hopefully do-able!
Just gotta stay organized :)
