My Job Hunt - Update

The job hunt has been hectic, but far from life consuming, which I guess is a good thing. I've applied for a variety of student affairs jobs in Oregon, Hawaii, California, and Texas, but I really haven't gotten too many nibbles. Right now, I'd say my best bet is the job I applied for at the University of Hawaii, but it's still way too early to tell.

I have received a few rejections, which are never easy to swallow, but I'm taking them in stride. I figure it wasn't meant to be, so it's nothing personal, and I'm probably better off not being there to begin with. It's easy to have that attitude now because it's still somewhat early. I doubt I'll be so nonchalant if I'm still unemployed in a few months, which could be possible.

I keep telling myself that the right job is out there, but the pessimist in me is afraid that I'll officially be over-educated in about two months. I guess I'll just have to wait and see.

My Tiki Bump

Last night's Scrubs had some pretty decent laughs, but one that always gets me is this one:

"Tiki bump!" - Classic!

My Empty Tank

Maybe I'm just in a grouchy mood, but I just didn't give a frick today. I was supposed to work on my comps project for school, but I had zero motivation because the sun was out. I kept telling myself that I should take my final project seriously, but I couldn't muster any care what so ever.

This is when I realized that I really don't care much about anything right about now. I'm not saying that I'm unhappy with things, I just want to be done with so much stuff, so I can pick up and move on already.

Should I be worried that I'm feeling this way because it really doesn't bother me that I am...

My Last Straw

The other day, I received an e-mail from Portland Community College letting me know that I'm not longer in the running for the position that I applied for. I was a little bummed at first, but then I quickly realized that it was a blessing.

In all reality, that job application was the only thing that would have kept me in Portland. Now, I'm free to move on and do something else. Right now, I have applications pending at the University of San Diego and the University of Hawaii...maybe one of those will work out for me.

My Calling

My recent trip to Hawaii taught me a lot about myself. For example, my true calling in life involves selling t-shirts to tourists on the beach...or being a pirate off the coast of Belize.
