Time for an update...

So I'm beginning week three of being a college graduate. I've got a shiny new degree, that holds in it my shiny Bachelors of Science. And what do I have to show for it? No job. 

Sadly, my first round of applications was a bust. :( So second round of applications goes out this week. I'll be spending tonight filling those suckers out. All like 7 of them. I never thought getting a job as a zoo keeper would be so hard. I thought I would be a shoe in. Good gawd, was  I wrong.

So for now, I'm still settling into my new place, aka, Ed's condo. It's nice, I like it, though I wish I could move more of my stuff in. Not really enough room. I had to get rid of so much of my things. Gave most of it away to friends or Good WIll. At least it all went somewhere beneficial. All the same, it was hard. Even my adorable little car... who was on the very last leg of her life, had to be donated. Rawhide Boys Ranch, treat her well! She was my baby. :( I promised she'd be pampered by boys if she just lived until the school year. She kept her word, so I hope I kept mine.

I guess I'm just hitting a bit of a depression. I feel useless with no job. Ed says that I should take my time and get a job I enjoy, but I don't think I can. I need to start making money. So I can pay for car insurance, so I can visit my sister and my brother, so I can go and start looking at areas for my wedding. And talking to churches. I need to get moving on this stuff.

Alrighty. I'm gonna finish up this cup of tea and get going on those applications.

Is it weird I don't feel any different? Shouldn't I *FEEL* like a graduate?

Well, if you really feel the need to keep busy and earn some extra $$, you could always get a part time job. Something that will allow you to stay flexible so you can look for your real job, but still give you a little spending $$.

No, you shouldn't. In the end, graduating isn't really worth it. Except to get that piece of paper. Fun to realize, isn't it?

Good luck. Enjoy your new place. I cuoldn't remember how to spell your last name, so I just had the invite addressed to [info]psignostic. Please don't be upset! *hugs*

No worries about just addressing it to him. ;) My name can be tricky, plus soon his name will be my name, so it all works! I'll keep my eyes peeled for the invite!

His last name isn't exactly the easiest in the world either. ;)

We mailed them on Saturday, so they should be there soon.

Have you looked into modeling yet?
