Day Three

My, my, my. What a busy day.

I started off by running an errand to the doctor since, after all, I have nothing better to do. This was followed by a quick trip to the mall where I applied for yet another part-time job to tide me over for the time being (application count of part-time jobs: 4). And then I returned home. Where I submitted more applications. Two applications in with the same company, another fashion company. My philosophy on job hunting is to apply to companies whose products I enjoy. I've accumulated quite a list of products and brands I frequent/enjoy and am making my way down the list. Also, I accompanied my mom on other brief errands throughout the day.

The highlight of the day, however, was a lead on a potential teaching job in a parochial school here in my home town. I have to call the school tomorrow and schedule an appointment/meeting/interview for next week. If I got the job, I would be teaching high school trigonometry. My mother has graciously promised me rent free living for next year if I get the job. I would be responsible for car payments/insurance as well as taking over my own phone bill, but I don't anticipate either being as costly as finding my own place to live. It would be an excellent experience, so I'm hoping that this pans out successfully.

I've been doing some mild soul searching. I've come to recognize that few times in my life compare to the semester I spent abroad. I spent my fall term of my junior year in Sevilla, Spain. More or less, every other weekend was spent in a different city, exploring the world with Europe as my main playground (there was one week long foray into Morocco, a decidedly non European country). That being said, any future career or occupation I have will have to be one that will afford me the opportunity to embark on similar travels and adventures. I have three continents left to explore. My current goal is to save up enough money so that I can do South America and Antarctica in one fell swoop that also permits time to play with penguins. An unemployed girl can dream, I suppose.

Application count: 6.
