So I've been putting in all these job applications (Last count was 118). And I'm getting responses, unfortunately they have all been NO. Bummer. So, Greg and I have decided that if neither of us get jobs from the applications we've put in that we will continue to stay in DE and I will attend graduate school. Well, that is if I can get in, of course.
I've been thinking about grad school for ages now and talking it over with GB for about as long. It seems that more and more jobs now want Masters degrees and I know that I could rock it. So, I'm going to dive in and take a chance. I'm about done filling out my application now, I just have to finish my goals statement. There's lots more to do after that but I'm going to take it one thing at a time. I still hope to have a job come through and just cause I apply to grad school doesn't mean I have to go. But here's hoping!!!!
I want a career. I always talk about being a housewife but I'd be bored after about 3months. A career would give me something I enjoy going in and doing every day. I'd be making money and taking care of my husband they way he takes care of me (big plus <3).
I'll keep you informed on what happens!

Jobs, Health and Happiness
Title sounds like a New Years Goal huh? Close but yet so far. Lemme explain.
I have now applied for 110 open positions all over the country. I'm pretty sure I have carpel tunnel now, hehehe. Why do I now look hard core into jobs instead of right after I graduated? Well, for one, more jobs are open now. Secondly, I have been working at Dollar Tree Deals since July and lets just safely say that I do not belong there. I am extremely thankful to have it. After all it is allowing me to pay my Sallie Mae loan but I had to deferr my government loans until Febuary hoping I could find fulltime work between August and then...no such luck yet. But I am hopeful like that.
Most importantly, I've just decided that the time has come for me to make my own happiness. Instead of setting a New Years goal I want to set a lifestyle goal. So part of this job hunt has been to find me a job I can turn into a career and one that I look forward to walking into every morning.
With that comes another lifestyle goal. Better health. I want to live a long, healthy, satisfying life with the wonderful man I am lucky enough to wake up beside every morning. We've already started cutting out any plastic that has BPA in it, soaps/shampoo & conditioner with SLS, parabens and pthalates in it. The next step in that, I've decided, is to cut out processed sugar. Oh my! I do enjoy my Dr. Pepper! I'll keep you updated on how that works out.
I'm being proactive in getting the job of my dreams, I am making myself healthy for a long life and finally I'm just being grateful for every day I have. I am making my own happiness.
Much happiness,
K
