Some-dreams is back, alright!
Woohoo! s-d is back!
It's been a LONG week. Really, really long. I spent three days at the career fair, got my graduation picture taken, went to a company presentation, met with Amie, went to class... I feel like I haven't had a break in ages.
So, the career fair. It was enormously painful to endure, but I'm glad I went. The company presentation Monday night was for a consulting firm that was also at the career fair on Tuesday. I decided to talk to them. Boy, did I pick the right guy to talk to! He's fascinated by psychology. I'm a psych major. Score. We talked at length about how to incorporate psychological theories and methods into the business world. Then we chatted about the job in general. There's a lot of traveling. You basically spend 6-8 months with a company, wherever that company may be, commuting between there and home on weekends. You may, however, choose to put your going-home travel allowance towards going to, say, NYC for the weekend, instead. Anyway. Tennessee was brought up, and I mentioned that it's a beautiful state to drive through, since I'd just recently done just that on my trip home from Florida. Mr. Consulting Firm Guy LOVES Walt Disney World. He goes twice a year with his family. He asked me where I'd worked, and when I told him, he said he'd spent an entire day in the arcade at Toy Story Pizza Planet last time he was at WDW! Score two! I ended up talking to him for over a half hour, and he gave me a "we like your style" card that means I'm preselected for an interview. Woohoo!! I'm not going to get my hopes up too high, but that's a step in the right direction, at least. At least the job market is looking a little less like a desert.
There were a few other companies I really liked. One of them I have to research a bit more, because I was so caught up in the gorgeousness of the recuiter (he had the most beautiful eyes!) that I forgot to pay a whole lot of attention to what the company does. Woops! <.giggle> There was a media company that looks like pretty much exactly what I wanted to do, so I'll have to follow up with that, and an HR firm that's big in Florida, which is another option. So. There are a LOT of people looking for jobs and all of these companies are hiring just a small handfull of people, so we'll see. For companies that were at the CBA Career Fair (which this was), it might be to my definite disadvantage to not have a business-related degree. Lol. But we'll see.
The other good news is that no one seems to be hiring until summer. Why is this good news, you might ask? Wouldn't it be advantageous for me to have a job fairly close to graduation? Well, not starting until summer would give me time to either A) Go back to Disney if I get the Advanced Internship, B) travel somewhere (with what money, I don't know), or C) sit on my lazy butt and relax a bit. Get a part-time job that's purely a money-making type thing. Enjoy my last few months of freedom. <.shrug> Sounds nice to me!
And that's pretty much what's been going on around here. Oh, I have a possibly future kitty! My aunt is going to keep her until I can take her, if I can take her. Her (we think she's a girl... to early to tell for sure) name is Kaycee, because we've been calling her Kitty Cat. She's the sweetest little thang you ever did see!
What else? I have loads of work for Monday. Tomorrow I'm getting together with my 383 group to work on our transcript. Saturday I'm going to the football game with Meg, and then Shelley's friend is coming to visit. On Monday I have a quiz in 333, which I need to do the readings for. On Tuesday I have a quiz in narrative writing, which I need to do the readings for. My 383 transcript is also do. On Wednesday I have an exam in 354, which I need to do the readings for. I also have Research Paper II due in 333, which I have not STARTED. Have not even THOUGHT about. Ack!!!
On that note, I need to get rolling on this schoolwork, which has gotten pushed back in favor of all the career fair happenings. Ugh.
