Two weeks before my last year begins, and I haven't scheduled anything. I suppose I really should get to it, but I've got a lot on my mind:
1. I finished my internship (which was at home, rather than at the city I go to school). My supervisors think I've done a pretty good job, but I don't know if that praise is ever going to be heard by the firms I'm applying to now. I have to think of someway to get these recommendations in.
2. I've contacted so many firms, but almost none seem like they will give me a chance. Maybe I haven't been as direct about how bad I want the job as I need to, so I'm drafting up new emails this week.
3. I haven't spoken really to anyone back at school; I've been busy focusing on a job. As much as I'd like to wish it weren't true, I know this job search is going to affect my social life...a lot. Especially with the economy the way it is and my resume the way it is. I'm going to need a couple lucky breaks, and I'm going to need to work my butt off if I want to be happy at the end of this year.
Oh well. I guess after I get a job I'll forget my troubles ever existed.

Hi
Hi readers,
You are probably wondering why my blog is worth reading. Well I can't answer that because this is just going to be a diary of my senior year of college. But if everything goes as planned (unlikely), there should be plenty of adventure, drama, embarrassment, stupidity, and fun. Maybe I'll even learn something too.
So you might be wondering what my plan is. Well, priority #1 is to get a job. And not just any job. I want to work somewhere that will help me grow, make good friends, and do something I deem worthy of my time. Yeah, it sounds a bit lame (you're just not mature like me), but I'm writing in stream of consciousness, okay? Any job that nice is going to have me work my butt off just to get an interview, so I'm probably going to have to suffer a lot when recruiting season comes around. And hopefully I'll land one then so I won't have to discuss it anymore. But if I don't, I'll probably have to blog about the dreaded job search (when every damn classmate is bragging about their job) instead of the more exciting priority #2. What is priority #2?
Priority #2 is to have fun. This is my last year after all, and I better cram everything-I-wish-I'd-done-in-college-but-haven't-done-yet into this senior year. No reason not to do something I want to do, right? Hopefully, you readers are going to give me that supportive push I might need. In return, you might get to read something worth reading instead of the 5 minutes of your life you'll never get back (like this really lame first post!).
I don't have any other priorities thought of yet, so I'm just going to end it here and append them to other posts when I think of some.
Cheers,
