No Luck

I called all the places I sent resumes to Jan 19th and I had no luck with finding a interview. Maybe next week.
I had a good feeling going into the job search but this put a damper in my motivation. I found it very discouraging, when everyone is telling me NO, when I have no choice to get a job out of high school.
But I will keep my head held high and have faith that I will get a job.
See you on the flip side.

Yoga

This weekend was a blast. We successfully pulled off Liz's surprise party. When she came into the door and saw everyone in the apartment, she was so shocked. It was worth all the planning 2e and I did.
So this week we are doing a competition for ASID. We are designing a yoga studio, and tomorrow we get more information about what the project is guidelines are. This project should be interesting. I have done some research on yoga, and I have learned so much so far. It makes me want to do some yoga, maybe I will do some tonight or tomorrow morning.
Tomorrow I need to contact the people I sent resumes to and see if I can get some interviews. Lets keep our fingers crossed.
Time to get back to my homework.

A Merry Monday

About an hour ago I sent out ten resumes to various firms near and in Virginia Beach. Tonight I think I'm going to work on a few more tonight. With all this job searching I have found that my room has become a complete disaster. I have clothes, food, art supplies and whatever else scattered all over the floors, and on any clean surface available. So It looks like I have some home improvement to do before I work on the good ol' resumes tonight.
Today we got some information for our ASID competition we have to do for class. Looks like I'm designing a yoga studio... I don't know anything about yoga. Oh well. I hope this competition doesn't take up as much time as I think it's going to. I swear everyday I feel like our work load is getting busier and busier. And it is starting to stress me out a little bit. I just have to remember that I need to stay focused on this semester. I am almost done!
Time for class, I'll let ya know how the room cleaning goes. :)

Pumpkin Spice Latte

I just brewed myself a nice mug of Pumpkin Spice Latte, which is delicious. It is going to get me threw a long night of the senior project and resumes.
Over the weekend, I talked to a friend of mine about moving to Virgina Beach with him, and It is a go. I have plans to go to Virginia Beach for Spring Break, work on getting interviews and pick up some applications for this summer. I am getting really excited about moving away from Michigan. As much as I will miss my family in Ravenna, I know they won't mind coming to Virginia for summer vacations.
Tonight, I have a goal of printing off 5 or more cover letters/ resumes to send out tomorrow. I have to call the five firms I already mailed resumes to, to see if they have received them and are offering interviews. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
I really hope everything works out with finding a job in VB, It has been my dream for a long time to live/ work out there while.  I need to get away from MI while I still can.
See you on the flip side
