Brief Update

I hope that everyone out there is doing better than I am, weight-wise. For the past few weeks I have been up and down without any real commitment to the program. I was 265 something at the beginning of the month, then up to 270, then down to 266, then up a few more pounds. I have been on track this week though, so I am hoping for a loss this week. All in all it looks like March will be a wash for me, but that is better than gaining…

Right now I am right in the midst of final projects and job applications. I have sent out my cover letters and resumes, but have so far had no calls for interviews. I am really hopeful that something turns up, because I cannot afford to live on my retail position alone, and I will lose my internship stipend in a month. I have about 6 months of living expenses saved up, but my car started making some weird noises today (by weird, I mean my 4 cylinder started sounding like a monster truck), and that will likely make a dent in my savings.

I am optimistic, however. Right now is a much better time to be looking for a job than two years ago, so I’m still looking at grad school as a good investment. Plus there will always be a demand for social workers even if it is in not-so-great jobs, so at the very least I am confident that I will find something to pay the bills while I wait for the dream job… And then I’ll get a gym membership.
