Back from the drop off

Oh god. Sorry about the near two-month drop off in blog posts. My life exploded at me at the end of April and I’m just now getting some time about me to sit down a write something. In the throes of trying to fit myself back into my old life, my old room, and my old friends, I’ve just barely had time to decompress. But alas, I’ve returned.

Progress report: I’ve graduated college with my BA in Journalism and I’ve moved back home. It’s been something of a readjustment moving back to my childhood home, seeing as I’ve spent the last five years of my life with my own place in which to drink, smoke, and make questionable life choices. Now I’m living with my mother again and even though she’s assured me I can come and go as I please, I’m still restricted about what I can and cannot do (especially with no income, which sucks mightily). At least there’s wine in the fridge.

I am currently in the throes of job searching (more on that later), and I now have a car. A nice, shiny (partly)new 2012 Honda Civic. For now, life is… Well, it’s livable. I guess. Maybe? Thing is, until I find a job that pays a decent wage, I can’t pay for my car, which makes me insecure, which sets of my anxiety, which is not good for my nerves. Which have been bad as of late because of my circumstances. Luckily, my father gifted me $1500 to get me by on the first few car payments until I find a job. I’ve got three months until I need to panic, but I’m in a constant state of internal unrest as it is, so that’s not such a big deal.

As far as the job search goes, I’ve probably applied to over 100 positions over the last few weeks and I’ve been on more than a few interviews. Hopefully I’ll hear something next week about a bank teller position. There’s also a PR specialist position I’m really hoping to hear about in the next two weeks that pays pretty well. Both positions have good benefits, so either way is good. On the brighter side, I’ll be teacher certified come July pending my application. I applied for some positions at a school district including district substitute, so I think I’ll be good come August. I’m trying to stay positive throughout this, which is really important for me right now. I think I’ll go fetch myself that bottle of wine now…
