Post Grad

Life hasn't changed yet. I still have no job, I'm still looking, I still don't know what I'm doing with my future. I'm still scared to death. I can't wait to know what I'm doing with my future. But for the time being, I'm moving back to Flint-town USA and living with my wonderful parents. I really am thankful that they are willing to take me back. I know people who are in the same situation as me, except their parents aren't willing to have their college graduate come back and living with them. So I'm very, very, thankful that my parents are letting me.

With that being said however, I do not want to live there a long time. I do not want to become a burden and really I want to be on my own. After graduating college I should be able to take care of myself and be on my own. It's getting scary though because I have no way of supporting myself. I just really need a job and I don't even know where to look any more. I have very very little experience, and it seems EVERY job that I've seen in the past month requires 5 to 7 years of experience. I apply for these jobs and then hear nothing. I never expect to hear anything because I'm sure the second they take a look at my resume they realize that I'm a very recently college graduate with nothing to offer them... (except my newly gained electrical engineering knowledge). It's a tough world.

I have to move out of my apartment in a week. I haven't started packing. I REALLY need to. It's going to be no fun packing up all of my belongings. There are too many of them. I am probably just going to end up just throwing a ton of stuff away and giving stuff away to the dumpster scavengers that come out of the woodwork come move out time here in Ann Arbor. Its creepy! haha. I'm going to miss my apartment a LOT!!! This place has been home to me for over a year and I've really settled in here more than I have anywhere else that I've lived during my time here in Ann Arbor. :(

I have 3 exams that separate me from being a college graduate. 2 of them are on Friday and then 1 of them is next Wednesday. It's really getting hard to study with the sun shining brightly, the spring breeze blowing in the open windows of my apartment and the MILLIONS of things running through my mind. It's soo hard. I don't think my procrastination has ever been this intense.

well until next time, take care.
