still no job yet, but i haven't really tried hard in the past couple days.
I have changed my resume and am waiting to hear back from a friend on how it looks.
I'm trying my best to not freak out. Today was quite a nice Friday. So relaxing. Did the usual taking the dog for a walk (rather she walked me) and then cleaned the pool. It's still quite nasty, and well I want to use the pool... so cleaning it seemed to be the smart thing to do.
Life is otherwise quite the same as has been for the past few weeks.
people have come to amaze me more and more. The things they say, think and do just continue to keep me wondering. Good thing I went into psychology. People who don't take into account other people's feelings and point of view.. i just don't know what to do about them. Hm.. Well I had like a whole 'nother paragraph written on this topic but too bad my stupid computer erased most of the post. (it's now a few days later...)
anyway... in general things are going alright. I finally have made a new resume and it's pretty good I think. I have ten jobs that I'm looking at so there's a bunch of places to send the resume out to. That's good news I suppose.
And other than that I'm very happy with my frisbee team. They are great great people and I love my tuesdays! What a wonderful time I have with them. I will be happy when everyone is back after the fourth of July and our team is whole again.
That's all.

things are getting a bit more exciting ...
well first... the Twins won tonight! YAY! 7-5! Thank God! 12 innings...but they won. Thanks to Justin Morneou!w00t!
Now although I've been crazy stressed about getting a job... things are not too bad. I got a postcard today from one place saying that they were considering my resume! Yes! Two... another place sent me their information for me to look over and i think I have to fill out some stuff. It's with the Lovaas Institute here in the Midwest! Yay! Lastly on this topic... AJ's boyfriend Nate is helping me out with my resume and said he'd help me get it out there. Clearly it needs a bit of work. My objective is pretty...well it's too... broad. So I have to fix that, but i'm getting excited that people are considering me! I've gotten random emails about Financial Advisor jobs, which although I feel loved that people want to interview me for that job...it's not what I want. But yay to the two organizations that contacted me! YES! I really hope that I get an interview!!!!!!!! Now I can feel less stressed! It's crazy how stressed I have been. Now I understand how Kayla was feeling when I saw her last! goodness! Natalie had an interview with Mayo today for a research position... she won't hear from them for two weeks! She said she was so stressed/nervous last night that she didn't fall asleep til 2!!! I know the feeling. I've had issues falling asleep lately too! Ahhh ! I reckon it really is just this whole job searching thing. I can't believe how much it could affect me!! whew... again i feel much better. What helps is probably that I have had a couple beers this evening before and during the game...:-) It was such a fun night overall. I am to be out with others, but the game didn't get done til 11:30pm and well i might as well try for sleep.. (shoot I'm rambling)
Other topics. .. looks like Grandma Pat and Grandpa Orv stopped by tonight and dropped off a graduation card for me... how nice! what is even nicer... and I don't even know how to thank them for this... they gave me $500!!!! holy crap! That is SUCH a generous gift! I don't know what to do about them! I feel like such a terrible grandaughter! I don't see them that often and they give me that much money for graduation?!?!?! wow! I think I should put all of that into savings! Maybe now I will be able to move out by the end of the summer after all.! I better not get my hopes up TOO much...if i don't get a job with these places I applied to who have made contact I'll just totally bum myself out... not going to lie.. i forget what the actual job was that I applied to for one of them.:-P i better check on that. Anyway... i guess that money from my grandparents doesn't make me feel too bad now about the fact that I spent $40 on cds this afternoon.. ummm yeah.. lets see soundtracks to Pride and Prejudice and Elizabethtown and then a Jeff Buckley cd. I am too impulsive!
ok i think i am done rambling. Hopefully this excitement won't keep me up! God do I need to sleep! i think that is all i have to say...

disappointed
well here is one thing I can be somewhat happy about:
http://www.startribune.com/191/story/472880.html
It's a comfort to know that the United Methodist Church is taking a stand on gay marriages. Go them! I was happy to read this article in the paper yesterday that said the recent conference for the UMC here in Minnesota recognizes gay marriages and the ordination of gay clergy. I guess I'm pretty damn proud to say that I was raised Methodist. We were always taught to care about others and I remember doing a little study group or something with people at my church and trying to learn more about what our church was about. What came from that was learning that there is a focus on social justice. Social justice definitely has to include, at least for me, diversity also! It was sad to read, however that the UMC congregation is declining. I guess people care more about their own personal relationship with God than doing things for others. I recommend reading the article (the link is above) if you so choose...because it clearly explains things, unlike me.
So that was something to be happy about, but then all of a sudden I become ashamed, disgusted and disappointed with a Methodist. THat's right, our president claims himself as being methodist. After what I have learned about being methodist, I do not find him to be a good one. Oh yeah, and then, get this... he is trying to get an amendment passed that would band gay marriage!! http://www.startribune.com/587/story/473463.html People seem to think that same-sex marriage will ruin the institution of marriage. All I have to say to this is that it is only 'ruining' your very tight-knit, closed-minded, idea of marriage, which seems to be a very Christian based idea. it's just the majority's uneasiness of something becoming different. Heaven forbid there very diversity and differences in this country! Wait... isn't that what we are supposed to be about?! I have to say i am getting utterly, utterly confused as to what the ideals are for this country!I just don't get it. I'm at least pleased to have read in the article that Senator Mark Dayton will not support the amendment. They vote on it later this week.... sigh. i still just can't get over people not accepting others. Gay marriage is not going to ruin our country. All we're doing it just excluding people from soemthing... again! Our country seems to be good at doing that. I reckon I could have even more to say but I'm just... too disappointed and down right sad to discuss it anymore.
lastly.. on a random note. I can't stand sitting at home waiting for the phone to ring. Hoping for an interview... job hunting sucks.
