And the job hunt continues.
Had one interview at least, although I didn’t get the job. It’s okay though, because I even knew I was way under-qualified. Gonna just keep applying places though.
Also got a new bank account. And credit card. Fun stuff, let me tell you.
urgghhhh
Job hunting is a full time job (although to be honest, with me it’s more like a part-time job). I’m part frustrated with the search/ part frustrated with myself for not trying harder.
Also, I really need to change my bank, because I have like 5 checks I need to cash, and the nearest branch of my old bank is hundreds of miles away.
Commentators Can’t Stop Chuckling About the Crappiness of McCain’s Speech | New York Magazine
“If you saw John McCain’s painful speech last night, you, like us, might have thought dude looked like an actor who forgot his lines during an audition for a Depends Commercial and was just winging it. Talking Points Memo compiled the reactions from commentators to McCain’s “That’s Not Change We Can Believe In” speech, and it is pretty darn entertaining…”
I can only hope for five months of material this good. What an incredibly awful candidate.
Bwahaha. Last night was an awesome night to be watching cable news channels.
Things I have been doing instead of getting a job
1. Reading (very slowly) Wuthering Heights.
2. Watching How I Met Your Mother online. I’m only half way through season 1 right now, but I’m loving it.
3. Watching So You Think You Dance when it’s on.
4. Updating resume and looking up jobs to apply to without…actually applying to any.
5. Reorganizing all of our storage in the basement.
Tomorrow I will not let myself go to bed without having applied to at least 2 jobs. Seriously. No more down time allowed.
The end
Graduating from college has left me an emotional mess. One minute I’m happy, the next I’m sad, the next I’m happy and sad simultaneously. I’m proud, I’m excited, I’m nervous, I’m scared, I’m ecstatic, I’m happy to not have to write a research paper in the foreseeable future, I’m relieved, I’m relaxed, I’m angry, I’m lost, I’m looking forward to the future, I’m giddy, I’m feeling 8 billion emotions at once.
But mostly, I just feel like I’m missing this place. These people. This thing that was a part of me for four years, that was my home when my real home fell to peices. It’s one of those things that you are never going to get back completely, and honestly….I wasn’t ready for it to end.
I totally always come back to tumblr when I should be writing papers in the library. Although technically I am not writing a paper tonight, just doing research for a paper I’m going to start tomorrow. A paper that I’m pretty sure is going to kick my ass, because I’m still not really sure what it’s about. Vaguely: Structuralism, the end of man, Derrida, Tati, the rupture between structure and event, the beginnings of post-structuralism (maybe ?), and I don’t know what else. I think I need a thesis. Yes, that would be good. The problem is, I keep just saying “oh yes, I need to research this further” and then I never do.
Bleh. On another (more positive) note, my dad finally got a job! Only 9 months later than expected, and less money than he was hoping, but hey, it’s better than nothing. Now I just need to get myself one of these job things….But that can be a concern for after graduation I think. Sometimes my lack of worry worries me.
I'm a 22 year old recent graduate of the "third most expensive university in the world" (thanks for taking all my money Bucknell). This, of course, means I have absolutely no idea what I'm doing with my life, and will often do anything to escape this scary reality.
I believe in cupcakes.
