blah blah blah.

this job hunt nonsense is crazy.

I have been applying for jobs like it was a full-time job for the last two weeks. I have received a few "we're sorry, but..." emails, but not one positive phone call or email, after sending out what has to be nearly 80 (if not more) applications. I know that I will need to hear a lot of "no's" before I get a "yes," because that is just how this stuff works these days, but when I think about it, I have trouble breathing.

I do, however, have an appointment on Monday morning to go get fingerprinted so that I can continue on with the Substitute Teacher application. I also started applying at another school district. I hope that I can use the fingerprints in both districts (they are expensive!) and moreso that this leads to something. I need to take the "class" and the test, so I will start that this weekend.

I was hoping that my phone would have rang already, and was thinking that by today I would have had a job, but I can't let that get me down. I just need to stop looking at my bank account. :/

I already want to rearrange my room, but I am not strong enough to move my dresser alone. Well, I guess I am, but its huge and awkward (that's what she said) so I guess I need to make friends with a big, burley man so that he can help me. :) He also needs to be tall, because I need something hung high in my room and I'm too short to do it.

I got a box of stuff in the mail today, from my parents. I already had a bunch of stuff in my room that I don't have a home for, and the assortment of stuff that they sent was super random, so some of it was super useful and important, and some of it is just more clutter. Have I mentioned that I really don't like clutter? Because I don't. It makes me anxious.

The thought of writing a "things I would have done differently" entry regarding the move keeps running through my mind, but I would have to flesh it out a little bit more...right now the only tip I have is this: If I were to move 12 hours across the country again, I would hire movers. I don't even have that much stuff (Not going to lie, I have a lot, but I only moved a bedroom and a kitchen, not an entire house) and it was still a pain in the ass. Oh, I probably would suggest not moving to the South in August, either, but whatever.

I know that all of the things that are freaking me out are going to just take some time and effort to resolve, and I also know that once I am working all the time, I am going to miss laying around watching entire seasons of television shows in one sitting. Soon enough I will have people to hang out with, and a job so that I can afford to hang out with said people. I thought the transition would only take a week...boy was I naive. I sure do hope that I am on the right path after a month, though, because if I don't find income in the next few weeks, I don't know how I am going to pay rent next month.
