It's been a while
So livejournal... what's new?
I've been really far away form this for a long time, but it's a good way of keeping updating on some people's lives. It's crazy to me that so many of us are almost done with school and now it's just a matter of finding the right job... or any job that will pay us decently. For me it's already been a struggle to find somewhere that will look at my resume let alone offer me a chance to interview. I have a feeling that will be the deal breaker for me. If I can get an interview I'll probably get the job. It's that initial contact I need to charm them, as narcissistic as that may sound lol.
I find myself really interested in what people are planning or already doing with their lives. I really have a lot of hope that we'll all do something that matters in the world. That we'll take this higher education and use it to do some good. I have to constantly remind myself that it's not the amount of money or the prestige of the position, but how that initial job or the goals you have in mind for the future job contribute to your overall happiness in life. I need to keep reminding myself of that so I don't get bogged down in the job search or the competitiveness of making the most money out of college.
What I still haven't reconciled with is the fairly large possibility that i'll have to move back in with the rents to afford my loan payments. That 6-month grace period is my also my denial period that I'll have to waste away in elk grove for a little while. So those fortunate enough to still have apartments in the city, you can probably depend on a futon/couch guest from time to time to preserve my sanity.
Much love.
