So I'm way better than I was when I wrote that filtered post last Friday. Yes, the weight bothers me, no, I'm not going to do unhealthy things to get rid of it.
Instead, I picked something up in an email conversation with
industrellect: my humongous weight gain could be blamed on my birth control. I started using those patches one month before leaving for France. So the combo bad food - bad birth control could definitely be the cause. I've decided to stop using them and then see what happens. Here's hoping I'm on to something and can finally lose some of that new-found babyfat. ;D
I've sent several job emails today, most of them to Tokyo-based firms, one of them to Maersk. If they won't let me into their MISE program, goth knows I'll use my network to get in anyway *giggle*. Well, it's not my first choice, but at least this firm offers the chance to go abroad. A LOT. ^_^
This afternoon I'll start mailing the list of NY-based companies I found last week.
Wish me luck!
Meanwhile, the reading and translating thing continues. It's been three days and I hate every second. Blah. At least I've got my presentation on Friday, gives me something to look forward to.
