Anyway, my first day was great. I received a branded backpack and mostly spent the day working my way through IT security training. I sit directly next to my boss and the Chief Planner, basically the best place an intern can be, I’d say.
Managing adult responsibilities (particularly with a significantly lower income) can be exhausting, but I’m determined to not let Tired be my personality. I want to capture summertime nostalgia, I want to recreate that carefree feeling of fun with friends and yes, I want to participate in a Summer Reading Club!
There won’t be any
free personal-sized pizzas for folks who participate, but I think our Summer Reading Club will be fun anyway. (Btw it looks like
Pizza Hut has revamped the summer reading challenge and knowing that warms my bookworm heart.)
How it works
If you’ve ever been part of a book club, this will be similar. Instead of books, we’ll read articles or listen to podcast episodes. I love a good book, but I really want this to be a low-stakes thing that folks can drop into with ease. There’s a ton to learn and talk about when it comes to homes and housing, but we’re more capable changemakers when we don’t burn out.
These will be held on Zoom and will likely run for about an hour. If there’s a ton of interest, I may break them up into smaller, repeat sessions. I think book club discussions work best when the group is relatively small, especially when they’re virtual events.
For each session, I’ll prep a few loose questions to help guide our discussion. We’ll begin with some introductions too because I’d love to create space for you all to get to know each other too. What’s an online community without community, anyway?
How to prepare
All you need to do is read or listen to the thing and maybe spend some time thinking about it while you make coffee or go for a
Hot Girl Walk. These are of course free for subscribers and will only be open to subscribers! If you’d like to bring a friend, forward them this email and encourage them to
Join The Community.
What’s the schedule?
Now for the fun part! I selected these pretty much because, after reading/listening to them, I really wanted to talk with someone else about them. I hope you feel the same way!
