A Breath of Fresh Air

Summer is here. I am very much on summer vacation which is good and bad. It is good because I am getting caught up on cleaning, packing, relaxing and catching up on sleep. (it turns out that it feels way better to get 7-8 hours of sleep compared to 4-5)

Nick and I have been exercising daily, which feels really great!

Despite these two very positive things, I had been feeling very nervous and uneasy about the lack of a job and the job search process. I have applied for 14 jobs so far.....I have not received any interviews......I have received 8 rejection letters.

My previous job searching experience has skewed my view of how a person gets a job.....I was offered my previous job two days after graduation......I didn't even fill out a formal application. I am beginning to realize that that situation was not normal. After a little self pitty, I have snapped out of it! Feeling sorry for myself will not make me any more hire-able! I have printed out two more job applications tonight and plan to mail them in tomorrow!

See ya later pessimism, hello optimism!

I send my love to my grandmas and whoever else reads this blog!!
Miss you!! I hope to visit Wisconsin soon!!
