(no subject)
life is different, and i've kind of gotten sucked up by the stress of having to DO things i don't want to do... namely find a job! i did however feel a little motivated last week and got my learner's permit again. keeping my fingers crossed that i'll get my full license this time :)
on the job front, my hopes aren't very high in getting the kind of job i want... and actually, i don't even like talking about it at all because it just makes me feel inadequate and discouraged at having to find one in this market where my main competition are recent college grads. shania came over yesterday to work on resume/cover letters, though, so hopefully we can help each other stay focused!!
here's a small update on my life:
- i think i'm going to be working PT at my dad's office while i'm job searching.
- my mom is going to the philippines for 2.5 weeks starting today, and i want to go too. my sister and i made a video on the camcorder for our family to see~ actually tickets are REALLY cheap right now... only about $900!! however..... since i paid for my family to go to barbados (flights AND hotel) my savings is not very existent anymore so i can't exactly afford to go to the philippines. i've been back and forth for the past 2 weeks though so maybe i'll end up going... i don't know.
- i've been having several headaches these days. just thought i'd make a note of it.
- i pigged out like crazy last weekend...went to the greene turtle (local sports bar) with cheryl and literally ate/drank like 4000 calories, followed by eating tons of yummy sweets and snacks at laura's party the following day... worth it? yeah probably =)
- past month or two, i've been trying to refocus my diet efforts. i go running/walking about 3x a week (hopefully this will become 4-5x) and i'm trying to keep my cals under 1600 or 1400 if i can help it. i think i took my activity level in japan for granted because now i lead a much more sedentary lifestyle.... need to make up for it somehow! I MISS MY MAMACHARI!! no weight loss yet, but doing a decent job of maintaining for the most part...
- i think i've almost perfected my twist out... heck yeah!!!
last but not least... does anyone (or know anyone who may) want to apply for a job to be 'editing staff' for a japanese media company in DC? i got contacted by a recruiter for the job... you need business japanese pretty much and it seems administrative for the most part, but it's not what i'm looking for so i'm not pursuing it. if you know anyone though, let me know and i'll pass along the info:)
