Irony, (n):

I finally found out the name of the book that I could not think of since January. Not that I have been thinking about it a lot, just now and again. Watching The Office tonight, one of the characters said it and I immediately went to Amazon to order it. When I opened the webpage there was a recommendation for the book. Nice. Everything falls into place when the time is right. (:

The cheap way of doing an entry, part of a heartfelt email....

Um, me. My life. Um. I spent this spring break in my house, mostly not working on my senior project, or walking the streets around my house (unseasonably warm this week), or looking for a job on the internet.
I have applied to Mayo Clinic! Huzzah! now. I. wait. And I am applying to the VanAndel Summer Program. I don't really know why; I need a full time with benefits job (so say all the adults in my life). I am looking for jobs all around the country right now. That aspect is really exciting--in a few months, I could be in New York, Arizona, California, or ...Minnesota, the glamour state, starting a new life, starting my life after college, starting a career. *sigh* (mini panic attack) And of course, everyone (okay, only Pete so far) is asking me about the essential questions I should be asking when looking for a job--What's the pay, what are the benefits like, what is the vacation like, who would you be working with. And I simply say, "I like Arizona." Maybe that is what matters, what only matters right now to me...Where this job is. Or where it isn't--Michigan. Well, West Michigan. Even with little Abby on the way and a nagging mom, I have no real reason to narrow my search only to the 4 counties surrounding Muskegon. Besides, the job market for research people is crap right now. (This job search would be a great time to bring up a request for prayer...For a suitable job and an understanding mother). (:
