Dear Diary...

I realize that this blog has turned into infrequent diary-like entries.  I lament my situation and rather than discuss my new crush I end rather abruptly.  I am aware that the tone of this blog sucks.
So what's new?  I have started an "internship" with the Preservation Planner for the City of Gainesville.  I hope to get real world experience that I can add to my resume.  In the meantime, I continue to apply for jobs.  Last week I had an interview with LifeSouth, a community blood bank.  As of today I still haven't heard back from them--that's not usually a good sign.  I did get an e-mail from the City of Alexandria, VA regarding a preservation planner position I applied for.  My application has moved to the next step and they will consider whether or not I get an interview.  This week I've applied for three jobs so far.
Yes, I get down.  I've worked hard, I've made sacrifices, and I just wish I could catch a break.  The one call I got to substitute was the same day that I had a phone interview.  School would not have gotten out in time for the interview, so I had to say no.  That was a bummer.
If anyone is still reading, I'm keeping my chin up.  Sorry I'm a bummer.  I wish I had awesome pictures or anecdotes about my kids or travels.  Living in Europe certainly provided great stories--Gainesville doesn't seem to have the same quality.

  2. No, I didn't write this at 3:22 am. I don't know what is going on with the time, maybe it's still set to Switzerland time. It certainly makes the post seem even worse!
