I'm currently studying graphic design, and just got a call from a teacher, saying that they needed a person to do "social service" with them, helping part time.

He and another teacher have a design agency, and told me that he knows me, has seen my work, and well, I'll be helping them!, there's a chance of getting a job there once I finish the social service!! !

Today was my third day, and I Love it!
:D


("social service" is like community service but related to a business, english isn't my native language, hope I explained myself)

Hi xon, haha I noticed something funny:

The meaning of community service in spanish seems to be different from the english meaning. Here, community service relates to any work done in charities, organizations, communities, etc., and you do it because you want (well, in school it's mandatory). In school you have to dedicate a total of 720 hours, split between job done for a organization, generally a charity institution, and job done in a business, half and half.

well, that's it. And no, I didn't commit a crime :P
