K-Turn Baby

The Job Hunt Has Begun!

Well, not so much begun, as been revamped. I've taken on a m

ore aggressive approach, and I think it's working! I'm re

ady to move on. I would say I need a start fresh, but it's not that I need a fresh or new start persay - I need a start in general.

When you're a kid and you're going into middle school, you think you're life is just beginning; Then you finish middle school and think high school is where you finally find yourself; After donning your blue cap and gown and being rained out from your football field graduation, you pile into the gym and announce your next four years to be the start of it all; and when four years turn into five, and your massive education overhaul i

s complete, you know it's just the beginning. However, you didn't plan on graduating during the worlds worst economic downfall, and you certainly didn't see yourself working in a bookstore for two years wondering what it is your really want to do with your life.

It's almost impossible to look back and have a lack of regrets - quite the contrary, really, as I have a plethora - but that doesn't matter, nor is it important. What's important now is figuring things out. Finding my place and starting something great.

It's not the beginning of my life - my life started 24 years ag

o. This is the start of my professional life. Just going on the few interviews I've gone on has helped me narrow things down a bit. I know I don't want a boring desk job, but something that means something. I want a job where I can care about what I'm doing - which working in retail does not satisfy, even a little bit. I've gotten too caught up and dragged down, and I'm ready to pull myself up and out. I'm ready to do something real and important, something I can be passionate about and love doing, something that makes me laugh and cry and want to get up in the morning. I'm actually quite excited about it all.

And that's where I'm at. I know it's been a while, but I'm ta

king this blog on a K-turn, and gearing it towards positivity and future endeavors. Bring it on!
