It's rainy and cold and absolutely icky right now, which puts me in a bad mood. As a result it's 12:30 and the only thing I've really gotten accomplished today is a shower.
I'm still on the job hunt. Depressing. My self-esteem has been turned into a punching bag. I'm trying to construct a fiberglass wall around it by not getting excited about any job prospect until I actually get The Phone Call. It's hard to get motivated to keep writing cover letters when my outlook is so pessimistic.
I did have a good weekend though. Sean's mom came into town for a few days, so I got lots of free meals and had a good time hanging out. We went to the town of Stillwater, MN, which is a cutesy tourist town on the St. Croix river. Sunday was a gorgeous fall day. My only disappointment is that the leaves really haven't turned all that much here, so the view along the river wasn't as breath-taking as I had hoped. With all the freezing weather lately, the trees are dropping green leaves. Ominous, no?
Classes are going well. I am pleased with my midterm results. I've also spent lots of time chatting over coffee lately with my SJW friends, so that has been good therapy. There's just something about coffee with good friends that is healing. I can't wait to see you all over Thanksgiving.
Miss you lots!
Don't get down about the job hunt Alicia! I remember getting pretty depressed about it too...but always remember that the right one will come along!
ReplyDeleteI'm praying for you!
Job hunting is laced with anxiety, but "The Phone Call" will come when you least expect it.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see you, too. Cliff is going to be in your area for job training soon (in 2 weeks). He has your number if you would like to get together. I am jealous if he gets to see you before I do, but I will survive until Thanksgiving I suppose.
