And it continues...

So, my job search continues. I'm still not that much closer to knowing what I really want to do. I'm thinking that I'd most enjoy working in the entertainment industry. I know that I assumed that would be true because it'd be SO GREAT if I could work at Disney (seriously, a life goal), but I think that in general I'd like to work in that industry. But that's as much as I've got. I might like to do something in writing, like be a copy writer or something, but I don't really know. Hopefully I'll figure it out soon, if not...I'll be at my dad's office. Or go retail. If you have any insights, please do tell.

The age-old question continues unanswered

So, I was just thinking about how when we're little, adults ask us what we want to be when we grow up. I envy those who knew then and have not wavered from that decision. As you can probably guess, I changed my mind somewhere along the line and now I don't know what I want to do. While job searching, I've been able to figure out what I don't want to do, but I'm still not sure what exactly I want to do. I don't want to: teach, be a sales representative. Ok, so I guess I didn't even narrow it down that much. But it seems like I have because SO MANY of the jobs that the job sites show are in sales. I wouldn't be opposed to doing SOME sales, I guess, but I don't want to do ONLY sales. yuck.

But anyways, I was on the college version of monster.com and noticed 2 interesting things: 1) A few of the jobs I looked at required several years of experience. Umm...this is for college students and recent graduates...as far as I know, recent graduates don't have 5 years of experience. 2) You have to put your birthday in when you register for it, and you can apparently register as long as you're 125 years old or younger, as the year options begin at 1885. I mean, seriously? NO ONE born in 1885 is still alive. I'm pretty sure. If he or she is alive, there's a new record for oldest person...according to the Guinness Book of World Records, the oldest person was almost 115 years old, so someone born in 1885 would pass them up by 10 years! So, theoretically, it's possible...but would he/she be a recent college grad? Not likely.

Long time no write!

So...I'm back. I'm officially graduated & looking for a job. But as I look for that job, I might as well keep up my blog (& afterwards too, but it helps to give me something else to do). What's new with me? I'll tell you.

1- I went on an AWESOME trip with my mom in June. We went to Vienna, Prague & Copenhagen, then took a Baltic cruise on Princess Cruises, where we went to Helsinki (Finland), St. Petersburg (Russia), Talinn (Estonia), Gdansk (Poland), Berlin (Germany), Helsingborg (Sweden). I'd put pictures up, but I took over 300 pictures, so I'd have to go through that many to decide which to put up, and that takes simply too much time. Look them up on Facebook.

2- I became a member of D23! Which is cool because then they'll send me the magazines when they come out. And I'll be able to go to special events, but I'm unsure how many I'll get to because one of the things I most wanted to go to (the tour of Disney Studios) sold out super quickly. I also got a cool calender! =D

3- We spent the Fourth of July Weekend in Seattle! And I will put up some pictures:








One of the coolest things about Seattle? It's the birthplace of Starbucks!!!
