Alright so as you may already know from a past post, I've been looking for work! And just recently as in a few minutes ago, I sent off my cover letter and resume to a company that I'm trying to get part time work with. Now I wait... *sigh*
Although this is not my first time trying to get work... (as a side note, those were complete failures) it's still really getting to me. Just clicking on the send button to send the emails was awful. I was all nervous! I don't really want to get my hopes up... but for some reason I just can't help it! I'm really nervous about an interview..(although I don't know if I'm even going to get one)
So now I get to wait... Trying to continue on with my day while the little voice in my head keeps asking me:
"Are they going to call me for an interview?"
"Am I going to get a job?"
I wish there was some way to block out that voice... if anyone knows... please let me know. I find listening to that voice is going to drive me insane and I much prefer being sane. *sigh*

It's the small things in life
This post is going to be mostly me complaining about people. But before I even start, I'd like to make sure that it is known that I am not directing these comments at anyone in particular. I also realize that I do many things that are very annoying. So I hope no one takes any offense from this post.
Ok so really this is just me complaining about poor drivers. As most of you may know, I do not have the ability or resources to drive myself from point A to any other point on the map. Therefore I must rely on public transit. Because of this, I have more time to notice things about drivers that I hate. First of all, people that don't actually stop at stop signs. Although, this doesn't really do much to many people, I still find it to be annoying to see people simply drive through a stop sign. IT SAYS STOP! NOT SLOW DOWN A BIT! Another thing I find particularily annoying is when people stop inside the X on the road. The X on the road means don't stop within this space. This is because the turn for other drivers is rather sharp and it's likely that if you are within this space you will be hit. So don't stop there. I notice this the most at the bus station. At one point on the bus trip home, the bus must take a fairly sharp left turn to exit the station. However, it cannot complete that turn most of the time because people are stopped within an X on the ground. Which makes it so the bus driver can't go anywhere whilst the person is sitting in their car thinking:
"AH DON'T HIT ME BUS!" or something along the lines of that.
What really confuses me about this part is the fact that once the driver of the car realizes that he will get hit by the bus unless he does something about it, they do absolutely nothing. They sit there... not moving while people in the bus and the bus driver are trying to tell them to back up. They sit there... Bah!
Well that's enough of that, and I apologize if anyone takes offense!

Tennis Withdraw
I love to play tennis! It's quite possibly my favorite sport to play! Luckily for me there are tennis courts near my house and in the neighborhood I have some friends that like to play tennis as well. This is especially good since they enjoy playing the game despite almost any weather! Unfortunately, I haven't been able to play tennis lately T-T
On the plus side, soon I will be able to play again! Unless the weather decides that it's going to suck and then I won't be able to play. It's pretty tough to play when there's lots of snow on the ground or trying to play in a blizzard. Also my friend will be getting back soon so I'll have another opponent to play against! Hooray!
Till then my tennis stick remains locked away in my basement T-T

Work work work...
Lately I've been told that I need to get my act together. This act to which I'm getting together has to do with getting employment for when I'm done school with the possibility of working part-time while I'm still in school. But I've somehow managed to continuously delay these plans. I'm not sure why I keep pushing it back... it isn't actually all that much work. Just so you know I'll put a list of the things I need to do somewhere in this post ^_^
Anyways this got me thinking that the time that we have when we're a carefree child was the best time we've probably ever had. We got to be all carefree! People around you took care of you and you never had to do all that much work. It was nice. Don't get me wrong, I still think that it's pretty cool to have all these freedoms that we didn't have as kids but still...
Alright so I said that I was going to include a list, so here it is:
1. Update resume
2. Contact my contacts in the industry I'm trying to find work in
3. Figure out which companies I'd like to work for
4. Write up cover letters
5. Send those cover letters with resumes
After that I guess I'll just hope for an interview with a company that I sent my application to. Then hopefully I'll get to go to an intervue and hopefully it will go well and I'll find myself either working part-time or have a job lined up for when I'm out of school!

2 Comments!
Hooray! I've had this blog for maybe 3 or 4 days and I have 2 comments! I really like reading comments from people because it gives me the idea that people are reading my blog, and it somewhat allows me to hear from people! Thanks for posting!
Also because I don't think I'm ever going to post more than once a day. I almost forgot to mention this but... IT RAINED!!!! IN JANUARY!!!! For those of you that have lived here where I live which I'm not allowed to say... Rain in January is very rare.... in fact I think this is the first time I've seen this happen! My class could hardly believe it so I went outside to find out. And I was right! It was rain! I generally really like the rain so it's a very nice break from the typical January weather.

Update!
Alright so some of the people that I know have been asking me:
"What have you been up to?"
and
"How have you been?"
So I decided to make this blog! It's going to be random rantings that I feel like posting and updates for you people to know how I'm doing and what I'm up to. Sorry though I won't be giving terribly specific information because the last thing I need is some random person looking me up! So sorry that it's going to be lacking some details of my life. But for those of you who I know and already have most of that important information it won't really make too much of a difference!
Alright so here's whats up with me!
I'm still in school and I'm having an excellent time! I got to see a bunch of people when they came back from school in other towns and had alot of fun hanging out with them. Hmm... what else... I haven't been getting out too much lately for reasons that I don't even know. I think it's because no one is around, and I don't like going out alone ^_^.
That's about all for now I'll be sure to update you on my life a more often. Hope everyone is having a great time doing whatever they're doing!

One Small Step
So... as you may already know from reading my first post, this whole blogging thing, completely new to me. So while talking to my sister who also has a blog, I asked: "So what exactly do you put in your blog and what should I put in mine?" Her response was that I simply put whatever I want in these posts. That... sorta helps...
I then decided that I would take a look at her blog to see if it would... inspire me. It didn't... But, I did see some things on her blog that I would like to see on my blog. So sometime in the near future she's going to help me with this.
If any of you people have any kind of recomendations on what I could do to make my blog a little more interesting I'd be glad to hear it!
I guess that's all for today. Hope you are all feeling fine you people reading my blog ^_^

First post on my first blog!
Well this is my first post in this new blog of mine! Actually, it's the first blog I've ever had! Isn't that exciting? Currently I'm in my computers class... but I finished my work so I really have nothing to do. So I decided to make a blog! Everyone in my class is being pretty quiet at the moment so you just hear lots of typing and clicking. I plan to post many random things on this blog, mostly my thoughts on things that I see during the days!
