This week in the news...
I could really use some coffee.... but I'm trying to ween myself off of it. Oh, the caffeinated goodness I could be having right now...
Starting with what's most on my mind lately: my job search. It's looking relatively promising, given that the select upper-entry-level positions (i.e. requiring experience and college) I've applied for since being here have all called me for an interview. But...so far no dice. I'm hangin' in there, though! My attitude going into interviews has been, "Regardless of the outcome, I want to be confident I did my best. This is good for me, regardless, and I'm only getting closer." I just hope one will call with an offer one of these days. Trust, I shall.
I love living with my sister and Ben again. Correction: I love hanging out with them again. Living with them is getting a bit old, since I'm afraid to overstay my welcome, which I probably am since, being unemployed, I'm home alllll the time. pretty much. Plus, I guess my parents aren't the only ones who forget that I'm now actually an adult, and don't require the supervision and direction that a pre-teen would. (ok, most of the time, at least) But other than those two li'l issues, things are going swimmingly. Hopefully I'll find a solid job soon, then a solid place to live, and then some solid furniture in which to place my belongings that are tiring of their suitcases and boxes.
I'm making some new friends through Heather and through church, to compliment those I still have from last year. and it's great--I feel so special having a social network again! Yay! Oh and one of said church friends is a boy. A very friendly, smart, chatty, funny, cute, eligible, and seemingly interested one. Maybe nothing will come of that, but it's a nice idea. and it feels like ages since I've had a crush worth pursuing..... in fact, the last is now married. (!!) So, this is really good regardless. And let me just say, what a breath of fresh air!! All the French boys I met couldn't hold a candle to this guy.
I LOVE America.
