direction

I started this blog in order to track my progress through the job search universe. I didn't expect to find a job (even part-time) so quickly. I expected to write about the many resumes and cover letters sent into the abyss without ever receiving a response. I expected to write about the failed interviews. I expected to keep track of my rejections. Instead, I've found a job in the study abroad field which is where I want to be. I found the posting on the highly-reputable Craigslist, sent them my resume Monday night, got an email Tuesday morning, interviewed Wednesday, got a phone call Thursday afternoon, and started on Monday morning. This all happened so quick I couldn't even write separate blogs about it!

I'm so very thankful for the opportunity to hang out in Colorado some more and get some hands-on experience in the field I want to have a "real" career in. But what am I going to write about now??

I could write about having spent all weekend working at Target and trying to get some overdue class assignments done...about not being able to do my laundry because either my roommate or her boyfriend is always using the washing machine...about how it was finally a beautiful day today but I was inside and couldn't enjoy it...about relying on caffeine this week to keep my sanity...about my class assignment to devise a communication strategy to address the issue of Polish teenage girls sleeping with men in malls who will buy them designer jeans as payment...about a serious invitation I got from a guy at work to go to the Tilted Kilt just to "eat"...about how the lilac is blooming all over Denver and it smells so nice...about rediscovering my love of Subway and the $5 combo...

Anyway, the point is...what direction can this blog go in? I don't know if any of those things are interesting enough to write more than a sentence about. So stay tuned to see if I figure it out!
