Recent college graduate, praying for a job, and enjoying life the best that I know how!

Setting Goals
Until you have something to work for you never really realize how important it is to set personal goals.
I am officially setting goals. It is somewhat scary to know that having them down in writing makes them that much more real.
Goal One: Get a job
Every set of goals has to have a key starting point. This is my starting point, the only way to achieve any of the rest is to have a steady, full time with benefits, income.
Goal Two: Save Money
While this is really more of a Goal One part B, it is an important step, even if I can manage to get a job, not going through the process of saving money makes it nearly impossible to reach my other goals.
Goal Three: Get in shape!
I know this seems like it shouldn’t be part of this set of goals, but I have found that no matter how hard I try getting up before the heat to do this myself is more difficult than it should be. Therefore, I have decided that I need to take some type of sports lesson to achieve my goal.
My choice? Tennis. It will kick my butt and teach me endurance. I mean we’ve all seen the Olympic matches that are lasting three and four hours! If I can do that you know that I can be in the best shape of my adult life!
That’s all I have for now but I think it is a pretty good start! Hopefully it goes from goals to lifestyles (the getting in shape part anyway!)
Oh Shit, the Real World
So, being a college graduate kind of sucks.
Yeah, I said it.
There is nothing to look forward to come the end of August.
Maybe things would be different if I had a job, I have had multiple interviews, and I have turned down multiple interviews.
So far, there is NOTHING I really want to do with my life.
Maybe I have my hopes set way to high. I know I will need to focus on acquiring an entry level position in a company that I want to work my way up in but come on, how many times do I have to tell people who find my resume that I do not want to sell things door-to-door. There have got to be better options.
Well, I guess there are, I can transfer to a different company and do retail for less money and less hours than I am currently doing. But why on earth would I do that?!
I wish I could just go back to school for free and take classes that don’t matter just so that I have something to do. Just don’t make me take the exams, okay, sound good? Great!
I wish!
SOMEBODY GIVE ME A JOB!!
Please?
An internship? Preferably a paid one…
I’m begging!
All Over Now
Eric Hutchinson; Genius!
And an appropriate anthem (?) if you will to end my junior year of college with.
It’s All Over Now;
Everything has an ending, sometimes they’re welcomed, sometimes they make you cry, like a baby. In the end we learn things and adjust to the changes that come rolling in, one after one, our lives keep moving.

The recent weather at Noahs Ark Zoo Farm in Bristol seems to have had a warming effect on the relationships between some of the animals. The zoo’s male giraffe Gerald has amused visitors and staff by making close friends with the zebra family. The family of three Chapmans zebra - named Zebedee, Zara and Zelda - and the giraffes share a spacious paddock in the African continental section of North Somerset’s award-winning family park.
TOO FREAKING CUTE!!
What to expect when you’re expecting
Hamilton’s theory of inclusive fitness helps explain how parents can be so selfless and supportive of such greedy little parasites.
I don’t see much sense in that,” said Rabbit. “No,” said Pooh humbly, “there isn’t…but there was going to be when I began it; It’s just that something happened to it along the way.

Snow, in April?
I mean I know New England weather is unpredictable and it can snow in July if it really wanted to, but come on. We have had what, 2 days of warm-ish weather since… October? November? That’s really not okay.
I want 80 degrees. I want sun. I want flip flops and sundresses.I want the beach and laziness. I want Red Sox (yay opening day!) I want summer!
Move out winter, it is officially time for spring!
I think this is one of the greatest things I have heard in quite a while!
