Post Grad

I have been just preparing myself for spring break and going home for a week and having puppies to take care of. I'm excited for it, but I know it's going to be WORK!

So I know that after a week I will be back in lovely Ann Arbor and my life will be back to being my own. But what scares me is in a less than 2 months after I return from spring break I will have to be back home (unless I get a job and it starts like the day after I graduate and I can find an apartment in that time,,, so yeah doubtful). I'm sort of nervous about being back home to live for a while. It is going to be strange. I haven't lived at home for more than 2 years and all of a sudden I will be thrown back into that place where that holds so many memories and feel so distant yet close all at the same time. Weird.

I guess I've just been thinking about the little things that I will no longer be able to do when I get home. For starters I have this really really bad habit. And it's probably gross so please don't judge me. Anyway, I always have to have some sort of fruit juice in my fridge at all times. I don't really have any preferences, it just has to be REAL juice, not like sugary crap. So having juice at my parents house will not be the problem, it's how I consume the juice that will. I don't remember the last time I've actually poured myself a glass of juice. I drink it directly out of the container so I don't have to dirty dishes and then have more to clean. Plus since I'm the only one drinking the juice, why does it matter if I use a glass... haha.

So yeah I'm gross, but this is going to be a tough habit to break. I know when I am home on breaks and things it's a very hard habit to hold back. I suppose it will be a good time to get over this horrible habit I've acquired over these last 2 years.

I guess going home will be nice, but it will be weird. I'm still hoping that I hear something from one of the numerous companies I've sent my resume to. I'm not really sure what I am doing wrong. I went to the Career center and had my resume critiqued. They had a few minor changes that I could make but that was about it. I made those changes and I still haven't heard anything. So either those people at the career center have no idea what they are taking about (which I doubt, they specialize in ENGINEERING Career advising) or people just DON'T like me. I don't know. Almost every position that I have seen has had experience requirements. I have no industry experience. All I have is research experience and any class projects that I've done as hands on experience. I don't know what to do and it's really getting close to graduation.

I am going to go drink some juice! :)
