Optimisim is overrated

So I didn't get the job and that is okay. It just wasn't meant to be. I know there is a job out there for me and it will come up soon. Hopefully sooner than later :) Have a great Halloween weekend :)

Feeling Optimistic

I am beginning to feel optimistic about the future. As most of you know, I finished my Master's in May and have yet to find a job. I did my internship with the NC Division of Public Health and they typically keep on their interns-this was the first year in 7 that they were not able to, FIGURES, right? I have that kind of luck. But I have been chugging along and applying to any and every job that I qualify for. Well I am finally having my FIRST face to face interview and I know I can rock this. I have a lot to offer and I know I would be a good assest to this company. With my confidence, I am sure to knock their socks off and I am doing everything necessary to make sure that happens.

On to other things...I am a very independent person but lately I feel like I want to finally settle down and share my life with someone, so I took a giant leap of faith and joined Match.com. I was a member in 2004 after I moved here since I didn't know many people and thought that was a great way to meet people. I should have known better than to try it again. I met 2 guys in 2004, one was nice and normal but there were no sparks. The other guy was CRAZY! He definitely had stalkerish tendencies, no thanks! Anyway, this time I didn't fare much better. I only went on one date and honestly, it went well but he was a little too stuck on himself for me. During the first date he asked me on a second date to go to a Canes game but then cancelled via email 4 hours before the game to CLEAN his house, what!?!? I thought I would be nice and give him a second chance but every time I talked to him, I felt nothing so I decided to email him and let him no it was over. For the record, I was going to call but I figured since he didn't have the decency to call me and cancel our date, he did not deserve a phone call from me, lol! His response to my email was that he agreed with me and was going to call and tell me that very night. Hehe, whatever, he did that to save his pretentious little face! I have the worst luck when it comes to dating, I swear I have a saying on my head that only weirdos can see. Eh, I know he is out there somewhere and I will find him, he might be right under my nose and I don't even know it! One thing is for sure-no more Match.com for me, I am finished with that!

Keep your fingers crossed for me for the interview next week!!! I want this job more than anything!

5 months

So its been 5 months since I graduated with my Master's degree and still no job! UGH! I have had someemails for companies interested, phone interviews and I have filled out questionnaires and still no job. But the good news is that I have an actual in person interview on October 21st and I am praying that this works out. I am so READY for a job in my field and I am afraid if I do not get one soon, I will no longer have my mental health. The kids wear on my nerves everyday and that just tells me that I need a job in my field, the sooner the better for everyone involved.

Believe me I will do whatever it takes to get this job I am interviewing for on the 21st...BRING IT ON!!!!

Busy!

Once again it has been awhile but I haven't felt like blogging and I have been super busy. My parents came last weekend for a visit and we were busy the entire weekend. We went and saw a double feature of Toy Story and Toy Story 2 in 3D. They happen to be 2 of my all time favorite Disney movies and I am looking forward to Toy Story 3 coming out next year. It was great watching the movie with my parents, sister and nieces! Then we went to a wine tasting at Regency Park which was nice. It was raining but the wine tasting was under cover so it wasn't too bad. I enjoyed it even though I am not a big wine drinker since wine doesn't agree with me most of the time, but I did enjoy a few glasses of white wine (and paid for it with a 2 day migraine). Then we went out to dinner at Sushi Thai-one of my favorite places to go for sushi! on Sunday, my sister, mom, Jordyn, Linsey and I went shopping. It was fun and the night was topped off with pizza for dinner. My parents stayed the night with me on Sunday and we just chilled out. They left Monday morning to head back to NY. I can't wait to see them again at Christmas!!

I also started training for my February marathon last week too. The first week was tough-it took me awhile to get back into my running groove and even 2 miles seemed like a struggle. Today was my longest run for the week at 4 miles and it was by far my best run this week. Hopefully each run will get better!! Only 19 weeks and 389 miles of training left until my marathon!!!
