Well, it is interesting to have some time off between jobs becuase it gets you thinking about EVERYTHING. First off, what the hell do I actually want to do with my life? Yes there are broad answers, but I am waaaaay too underqualified for basically anything that I want to apply for. I mean, there are a few leads that appear to be taking FOREVER to get back, but nothing I can see myself doing as my life's work right now. On top of that, old relationships have been haunting me. I am trying to decide if it is okay to be friends with an ex, but I come to the conclusion that it is not, because every time I see a new picture with the girlfriend I want to go insane. I mean, he is far away, this is good for me, and I don't think we would be a couple that would stay together for all time, but there was a time in my life that I thought we would be together forever, insane as it was. I tell you, first loves fuck you over for life.
Maybe I should be a little more optimistic. New love prospects could be anywhere, which is good, becuase I am kind of sick of being single when everyone else is not. But the excitment of new love slash what I would call the "honeymoon" phase is intoxicating in itself. Punch drunk love is no understatement. I think most people would agree. Yeh Raaste Hain Pyaar Ke.
So I applied for the Peace Corps, which is TA exciting. I am pretty pumped about it. I am not sure that is what ends up happening, but if I actually go and gt to do it, I will freak out with excitment. Wow, what I just wrote reassured myself. I really want to go to the Middle East or Bangladesh, as there is no program in India. It is probably better that I broaden my geographical horizons anyway. Meeting fun fellow peace-core-ites would possibly be the most fun and life changing experience anyway, just like India, because there are people that care about the world. What great conversation, even if you are sitting in the middle of nowhere Morocco...I'd be okay with that. Bring on the Bedoins!
I am so weird right now. I am incognito, in transition, going crazy, unsure, sure, here, there. Basically a Dr. Seuss book waiting to happen. But, for now, I am reasonably okay with that.
Sometimes all you need is a Ahsaas and a Sanam.

a change will do you good
Seriously, this break in life has been stellar. I know that after this week I will have some other stellar employment is a great thought in life, and all will be good.
PLUS I am seeing Tracy Chapman on October 14th which will be, well, SWEET. Props to Gups for working that employee club discount!
For all the sleuths in my life, and you know who you are, you rock and THANKS!
Life is good in general, I seriously don't have any major complaints, and mom will be out of town for all of next week, so I will have the entire house to myself! YEAH! I am sure something will happen. ~~
Summary of last week: Brenda Weiler; AWESOME
Dan Kusz band, slightly strophic and tumbling strain heavy, but still stellar
PIZZA HUT- YESSSSSSSS
Parking Ticket- BAD
Paying to Park in Ramps- BAD
let hope this all pans out---

employment-o-rama
Well, it becomes increasinly clear with each blog that I am not very good at updating them any more and sporadically. Which is sad because it is not like I don't have time. The employment search is going well, better than what I expected to be quite honest. I am glad I deferred a year, I feel like this 365 days in the "real world" will make me want to go to law school "real bad". I have turned down a job with US bank but have pending interviews at a few other places, so it is all going pretty well. I worked all summer, so I am not uber poor or anything, but if I get another parking ticked like I did today ($34) at the Fed, good lord, I will have spend my slaving away in retail because I didn't put enough freaking quarters in the meter!
Other than that, this first week in September has been fairly significant; saying goodbye to a long time friend who I just couldn't really deal with, searching for employment, and getting my bearings and trying to keep my soul in the real world. We will see how that goes. I surely see how once you enter and then try to do something different, it is difficult.
On a less serious note, I realize that I am obsessed with looking up MLS listings, Fiesta Ware dishes, and Jaws 3 the movie. Who says that? I am not sure if that makes my life just plain sad, or just strange!
I am also wanting to travel again hard core. The new batch of India kiddies sent out a group email that I read and it was soo sad to see that they were there and I wished I was there so much. I really miss India. Each day I remember it somehow and want to get the hell back there. I better start saving my money and not buying Fiesta Ware!
Overall consensus of life: good, hopeful
Let's hope that doesn't change in the near future.

August
I am a really bad blogger, but I can come to terms with that! August has been a, well, eventful month!
Here are the highlights:
August 14th- first day of law school at Hamline! After $26K in tuition and $700 in books, endless applications and test taking, I am in and this is where I am going.
Ha.
I decide to defer a week into it! Oh well, I have many reasons that I won't delve into great detail here, but I am already enrolled for next year, so it's all good. All I can say is that the average age of a Hamline Law Student is 25. Yep, I need to take a year off.
Other than that I have been job searching hardcore. I have enjoyed my two weeks of "umemployment" between Hamline and a job. I was offered a job at US Bank today, which is good, but I think I may want a different job. Either way, something better pan out STAT because I am supposed to start at US Bank in Nicollet Mall next week! I "Corporate Trust Asset Manager Analyst" CRAZY adult title!
Tomorrow I am going to the State Fair, which is a timeless classic that I go to every year but missed last year for India. It will be nice to go to the land of footlong hotdogs, fried-on-a-stick- culinary wonders, and random barn animals.
Things to be excited for:
AQUALUNG concert, Sept 10th---have you heard this CD??? Creamalicious!
Tracy Chapman Concert- Missy and Gups score fabulous tickets to see the greatest diva alive!
Brenda Weiler Concert- Sept 18th--A fabulous singer/songwriter I started liking at GAC. YESSS!!
Now that my unemployment stint is over, how am I ever going to finish all the seasons of Sex in the City? Darn, time to have a real person job. Damn.
