| It's been a good week. Many nights spent with friends. Good dinners, great show (Meet me in St. Louis!), silly movies, and even a few errands were done.
Outlook on the week ahead-apply for subbing positions at a few school districts nearby, once I get all my paperwork together. Continue looking for other job opportunities as well. Begin to work out everyday and start reading again!
Good movie watched tonight: Revolutionary Road-directed by Sam Mendes, starring Kate Winslet and Leonardo Dicaprio. If you liked American Beauty, you will probably like this film as well.

The blazers, the purses, those shoes! Love! And how cute is that ballerina bun?

| Week aheadSome things I need to do this week:
- For car-get oil changed, clean out inside of car
- Get hair cut (it's been a long while and it needs to be done, even though I want to let my hair grow out)
- Get strapless bra for bridesmaid dress
- Make appointment with seamstress to get alterations made for the bridesmaid dress
- Pay off student account bill (have ordered many transcripts at $5 each)
- Try to make reservations for bachelorette party (Kati's) and finalize plans
- Buy invitations for bachelorette party (Kati's) and get them printed out
- Continue applying for jobs and look up information for substitute teaching
- Send information to Direct Loans (college loans) for my repayment plant
There might be a few things I'm forgetting, but those are the more pressing things.
Fun times from the weekend: Friday-Fair St. Louis for Counting Crows and fireworks (beautiful!), and Morgan Street Brewery afterwards, Saturday-movie night w/ Jiyoung-watched Knocked Up (forgot how funny and cute that movie is), Sunday-watched the men's Wimbledon final (awesome!), soup, salad, and breadsticks for lunch at Olive Garden, and shopping with Jiyoung.
Fun plans for this week: Going to see "Meet Me in St. Louis" at the Muny with Kati and also watching "So You Think You Can Dance."

| An UpdateI can't believe it's July and I haven't been on a single interview. The job hunt is going...meaning I'm applying and looking for new opportunities everyday, but not getting any emails back or call backs. I did get one email back from SLU, saying they didn't have any interest in interviewing me for their Research Assistant position after comparing me to the rest of the pool of applicants. The job posting did say that they would prefer a grad student, but I applied anyway. I'm trying to apply to all I can, but there are a lot of jobs that I just don't meet their qualifications. It's tough.
What I'm disappointed about is not hearing anything back from the schools I've applied to. I thought I would get at least one interview, but I guess if you have people with experience applying for the same position they probably don't even want to bother with the newbie. It's all a little frustrating.
I haven't taken a part time job yet because I want to be ready at the drop of a hat for an interview, if that could possibly come along. By mid August, if things still aren't going with any of these many positions I'm applying for, I will apply to some civil service jobs, clerical work at universities and such. I do have several years of experience working in a financial aid office, working with accounts and data entry, so I think there could be some jobs out there for me. At least that's what I keep telling myself.
Since I haven't been working I've been lazy and I'm not happy about that. I've fallen off the gym bandwagon and haven't worked out for about 2 1/2 weeks. I'm feeling down and I just sleep a lot. This gives me time to think about being a failure and wonder what the heck I'm going to do with the rest of my life. I know that's not going to get me anywhere and it's definitely not helping my mood. I've always suffered with low self esteem and being unemployed is not helping that matter. So, next week it's back to the gym, which will hopefully lift my mood, and hopefully I'll get some stuff done around here. I have old boxes of stuff to go through-some stuff to throw away and some things to organize. I'm going to try to keep myself busy and keep my fingers crossed that there is a job out there for me!
