sometimes, you just have to jump in with both feet.

Been spending the past two weeks at my mom's house. Oh mom. It has actually been quite the "vacation." My dog has a yard to play in, mom buys the groceries, we have been to the beach twice (a 3 hour drive each way), and I have been busy planting different vegetables at the nature center where she works. I have also been able to do things that I want to do. Sleep when I want to sleep, go out with old friends, drink bloody marys at all hours, and work on my resume.

Re-formatting one's resume is pretty exhausting...

I spent about 4 hours the other day doing just that. Changing things, deleting things no longer that relevant, and adding more college accomplishments... realizing that I have worked about 5,000 different part time jobs for all different kinds of companies was pretty distressing because I'm only 23. I guess when you get your first job at 17, it's somewhat understandable.
However, it's better than not having any work experience. I chose my most recent 4-5 to keep. Lucky for me, they all have the potential to be good references.

Applied to a number of jobs via Indeed.com - mostly paid internships that require 10-15 hours per week... on top of 15 hours of school and a possible morning job (3:30am) at the Kolache shop down the road from my apartment... and getting in a regular workout routine so I don't become a total fa-tass.

This year is definitely going to be interesting. Work, graduating, working out, hopefully working for Red Bull, &trying to keep busy. Good thing I have a friend working at Starbucks.
