As of May 7th I will no longer be a Program Enrollment Manager I will be 50% Partnerships Coordinator and 50% Recruitment and Alumni Development Coordinator. Yes a lengthy title, I will need a huge business card to fit that on!!!
Basically with Partnerships I will be helping to build and maintain relationships with groups, uni's and companies. I will also be involved in doing information sessions and presentations. With RAD i will helping with the Alumni network and things like reference letters etc. I have not even started yet and I will be helping design the layout for a newsletter being sent out about the Brookings Initiative
I am really looking forward to the new positions and think it will be lot more challenging and creative for me. Also it a newly created position so something that I can really get my teeth into.
We have a dance off with work tonight to raise money for AIDS walk which it going to be hilarious. My I have heard rumors of my new supervisor turing in up in some pink, spandexy and cat suit like. I will be sure to take lots of photos!!

Long over due up date...
Well had a constant stream of guests staying which is due continue until May or July.
The first lot were Emma and Sarah there are photos previously of that!
Then last week Laura came for 10 days. Fortunately didn't have to play tourguide as she was extremely happy shopping, shopping a bit more and ooo more shopping!
Sian is coming on Tuesday which I am soooo excited about! I have next Friday and Monday off so really looking forward to having some time off.
The dog we have at the moment is a pitbull called Lady, was a bit scared of her when we when we first got her but she actually the softest dog ever. She is petrified of this huge silver bag I have that has some random Victoria Secret model on. She barks at it continuously!
Have enrolled 24 volunteers this month and its only the 14th!
Well nothing else really new at the moment but watch this space....

I love my job - most of the time!!
Well this week has been a tough week! Georgie and Paul went back to the UK to sort out visa, Summer went to the UK to train the UK PEM's, Jenny went to Vegas and Marge's daughter had a baby so we were a little under staffed this week!
It was really bust but kept us on our toes!
And Grace the Brazil country director was in NYC so that was exciting!!! I t was so nice to see her and practise a tiny bit or my Portuguese on her!
We arranged a meet up for Brazil alum to come and meet Grace at a lounge. I was chatting to some one and Grace brought over a lady and said this is Julie Levin. Julie Levin was some I enrolled and was soo lovely. She said that I was the reason she choose CCS and Brazil! It was so great to meet her!! It made a bad and really tiring week finish on a good note!

Whohoo! I got my social Security number!
I am now an official sort of resident of the states now - I have a social security number which now means I can get my health insurance, transit check, all my benefit, open a bank account, pay my rent via checks so I don't have to pay £20 extra when I pay my rent - the list is endless!!!
It is so exciting! I feel like I am officially here now!

Sing Sing Karaoke!
Well last night was the most surreal experience ever!!!
We went out for a really nice meal for Bonnie's Birthday and then lots of sangria, we went to a karaoke bar - but not as we know it. Basically we went in and it looked like a normal bar, then we got led off to the basement where there were numbered rooms! Basically we rented this room that looked like some dingy lounge in someones basement that had a massive TV screen in, huge speakers, 2 mircrophones and a massive list of songs.
It was soooooo much fun!!!!
Also had my first Brazilian Portuguese lesson today, there are 4 other people in my class and they all seem really nice, really need to work on my pronunciation though!
