Kraemer FamilyStay up to date with the latest from the Kraemers

As some of you are aware, I made it down safely to San Antonio last Wednesday evening. The whole trip took 21 hours, including stops. On the way down, I stayed with some friends overnight in Kansas City.

I share a very nice, 2-year-old, 2 bedroom, 2 bathroom apartment with another GLS (Global Learning Strategies) intern on the North side of San Antonio. The apartment complex is called Bristol Canyon, and includes amenities such as: a clubhouse, outdoor pool, fitness center, and billiard room. See here for details.

At work, I edit GLS publications and perform other marketing and tech related tasks (10-4 Mon-Fri).

For school, I study books on my own time and take tests at University of the Incarnate Word in San Antonio when I feel that I can pass or do better. I am currently studying English Literature. I hope to take a test within a week. I just took the Analyzing & Interpreting Literature test and did well with that. Now I have 9 college credits (3 Computer + 6 Literature). Since I am studying for a BSBA in General Management, many of the English and Humanities credits will be part of my required free electives.

Stayed tuned for more updates.

In my last post, I stated that I was starting college studies with assistant from CollegePlus! (a service of Global Learning Strategies). I also ended the post by saying that something else was in the works that could change everything. Well, both statements are true.

To make a long story short, I recently landed an internship with Global Learning Strategies in the San Antonio Texas area. In exchange for costs associated with a BSBA degree in General Management, I have agreed to work with GLS for at least one year, beginning April 18th. I leave for Texas on April 17th. I will be working in the GLS marketing department and on my studies/degree while I’m down there.

GLS is dedicated to researching innovative learning solutions for higher education and providing academic life coaching services.

To learn more about GLS, please read their mission statement. Also, please read the CollegePlus! overview to learn what it is. If you have high speed internet, and want a flash multimedia presentation of the CollegePlus! service, please click here as well.

I am excited about this opportunity because I can gain new, real-world experience and work on a degree in a distraction-free environment at the same time.
