(no subject)
My dad and I went for a walk yesterday evening, since it was so beautiful outside and I'd been complaining about how I need to start being active. We didn't walk too far, but it still felt great.
I made two pairs of earrings two days ago...they look only slightly amateur. :) I made one pair with 3 purple and lavender hearts on each earring, and pretty silver findings separating each bead. I'll try to remember to take a picture of it soon.
I think I've turned over a new leaf, so to speak, concerning my future. Instead of being super depressed and without direction, I'm now only slightly depressed and taking action. I've decided to just move to live with Rachel and Kevin regardless of having a job or not, and to continue to look/apply in the mean time. I also have decided to lower my expectations about what my next job should be, which should help a lot. I applied to one exciting job a couple days ago, and I really hope I hear back about that one. This afternoon was spent largely on filling out an online application for Target (it timed out on me so I had to redo most of it, so boo). Tomorrow I will probably apply for some positions with Best Buy and Goodwill in Rachel's area, because they are both hiring. I don't want to give up on a "good" job, but I'm willing to take whatever I can get. In other words: I'm desperate!
I wish I had just spent the money and gone for substitute teaching while I've been home - it would have been so smart, and I would have earned back all the expenses of getting the certificate and of getting fingerprinted. I just thought I was going to get a job right away, so why spend the money? Silly me. I could have some income right now and not have been feeling so depressed and worthless lately. It's not even that I didn't want to sub - I think I would have loved it! Oh well. If I were planning on sticking around home, I'd go for it now, but I am so ready to have a feeling of independence again, out of my parents' house. I'm going to miss them, and I'll miss the cats terribly (we've spent most of the day, every day, together)!
I hope this post doesn't make me sound pathetic...
I just finished watching a pretty good special on CNBC called "Where the Jobs Are," and now I'm headed to the CNBC website to read articles and find out more info on where exactly the jobs are. Ahhh, recession. You can stop anytime now, really.
