Apartment

I have found an apartment I am going to move into!! It is close to the University, which means it is not close to my relatives, which is a little sad, but it will be nice to be so close to school. My roommates are super cute. One went to France the semester before I did and was roommates with one of the girls I went with. The other goes ballroom dancing twice a week! So I think it will be a good match.

The other plus is that I am having doubts as to getting a job in the area I am at now. It is just too big and there are too many people looking for jobs here. By contrast, the district by the school seems much friendlier and seems to have a couple positions that I should be able to fill. So here's hoping everything else works out as well!!

I'm sure glad the Lord loves me so much!!

I love good films

I just finished watching Gentleman's Agreement.
That was a fantastic film. It won best picture in 1947. I wish films today made such strong statements instead of simply being artistic. Even though we don't have the exact problem today, we have so many similar issues.
Everyone should watch this film, seriously, go get it right now.

It was worth a try

I got my results for the Writing Proficiency test. I did not pass. I was a little worried about it when I left the exam, because I haven't taken a writing class in about five years and I totally forgot how to cite. Whoops.
What this really means is I have to go to class at the University every Tuesday this term. I suppose I should live somewhere close to the University.
Life sure leads us interesting places.

Inkheart

I read this book a while ago, and its sequel.

Inkheart

I would not have cast Breden Fraser as the dad. Nor would I have cast Andy Serkis, Paul Bettany or Helen Mirran. Jim Broadbent I can see. But I am excited! Good thing I like all those actors. We'll see if its any good.

One more step

I went to a Professional career seminar, or something of that type. We talked about how to get a job, where to look, how to fix your resume, what to do in the interview, etc, etc.

Hopefully it will be helpful

Gross

The one thing that just grosses me out beyond anything else is eyeballs. I don't want to see it! Don't show it!

The Roller Coaster

Of life.
Sorry, I haven't been on a real roller coaster.
I go up and then I come down. I looked at apartments on Friday and Saturday and whittled it down to one place. The roommates were ultra nice and we got on really well. I spent the afternoon and evening with them. But after a little prayer realized that was not where I was supposed to move. So back to the drawing board.
I have had a couple job interviews in the last few days. I have sent out dozens of applications. Lots of work, few results. I think its a percentage thing. Pretty much, right now, its a waiting game. That's a game I am not good at. When I want to do something, I want to do it now. Oh well. That's life, right? I had a really good interview and I hope that I get called for more from that district and then that one of the principles actually wants to hire me. If not, I still have my application in at another district. But that one is not as personable.
Up and down, up and down. Life is just like that. But are we ready to get off the roller coaster yet? Even though we know that staying on may cause . . . unpleasantness? I think not.
