So I just finished my resume changes. I've spent the past two evenings perfecting it. I ROCK! I look amazing on paper, and I have two suitable versions depending on what I apply to. I am full steam ahead with this moving-to-NY thing. I've got about 10 jobs so far I'll be applying to this weekend (some not in NYC, and rather in Boston or the like) and I'm stoked. Kate is excited for me too, and both she and Kitama have offered their places for a month or so while I get on my feet there. YAY!
Went to the gym again, it's been regular. Ran into one of my high school kids from the honor society there, it was funny. Still not smoking. Eating well. And oddly, been staying in a lot. It feels good. I was used to being so extroverted and doing something every night, and now I don't really remember what that was like. I've been feeling really introverted, I'm tired by 11, and am dying to crawl into bed. (I needed to get online to mail my resumes to myself at work so I can use them tomorrow -- tricky business, doing covert job search stuff at the current job you hate and you're trying to leave, but I have Maureen to cover me, and she's been great.)
Short-term goals (other than moving to NY and finding a job.)
-Learn Spanish
-Get serious with violin again (not just jamming) and find a chamber group to play with.
-Bartending class, then job for extra $$$
-Research the Peace Corps more intensively and figure out what I want to do where (South America?), and when.
Would also be nice to get some basic computer programming and photoshop experience, you know, gimme a leg up and all....
Gonna try and find cheap last minute tickets to Denver, the day before or the day of Thanksgiving to go see Chrissy, cause I miss her and this is her first Thanksgiving away from home, and I don't want to drive to Indiana with mom and 2 middle school nephews, but I can't afford normal tickets.
GUH! I have an annoying work event thingy tomorrow from 4-6 because Carole's a crazy bitch and is always and forever having superfluous events. Bah!
Anyway. It's past my best time.
Gnight all.
