weekend update

May 06, 2005 17:00

this is the first time i have been without a job for a long time.

i have been looking, admittedly not as hard as i should be, for three weeks (one week while at petco) and have had one interview, one prospect, and have applied to a handful of jobs. i have been trying to find a job that pays well, isn't retail, is somewhat respectable, and where i can gain animal experience that i need for vet school. it's really hard to find this unique combination of things that would make a much better opportunity for me, but i have been relying on what i have learned about myself and my wonderful collection of books that i acquired in college to guide me. i am going a little nuts not working, and plan on returning my shirt and name tag tomorrow. no one has called and asked for it yet, but i dont want it hanging over my head. i really dont want to go in there again, i hate that place so much. i might just have my mom bring it in or something. yuck.

i have been on a low carb diet for a week now. i have also been exercising every day, except today because my muscles are really sore. i have also been doing pilates. this is really fun and i hope it stays a part of my life, i like being active. maybe i should cancel my cable. i have become addicted to tons of crappy shows that literally suck the brain cells out of my head ( as proof, let me tell you that i just typed "brain sells" instead of "brain cells") and are just basically counterproductive to what i am doing here. however, when i was working at my last job, i barely had time to do any of the things that i have been doing in these past almost two weeks. i can actually think about going on vacation. i have time to watch tv and sleep in a little bit, and i can actually see people on the weekends. like i've said before, i feel like most people feel after a terrible relationship has ended. at first you are angry and sad, but then it gives way to great relief. i feel like a new person in a lot of ways.
im not so sure about dying my hair red. i have become so much more cautious in the past year!

i mean, i was doing extensive research before buying this straightening iron!

tomorrow, dan and i go to teany, then to queens to see his mom for mother's day.
the ferrets are well, nice and stinky and good. they are so happy that i'm at home... and that i'm not spending time with ANY other ferrets!
peace.
