What's next?

I am now back from the shore. I went to wildwood with my family over the weekend. While it was relaxing to some extent, I do feel as if the life has been sucked out of the place.  I also am not a fawn of burning my skin off. Still though, it was nice to be at the shore again.

Today when I got home, I started clearing out some space in my garage. I donated my mom's unwanted Christmas decor along with some fishbowls since I do not want any more. I've also tried using decluttr to rid the house of books, but so far, their website only wanted one of my books and only offered $.23 for it. I think, once I can charge my phone, I'll try just shooting for clearing out DVDs. I feel like I remove everyone's belongings besides my own though. I need to keep practicing the art of letting go.

The clutter is taking away from my ability to focus. I know that I need to get my game rolling again though. Currently, I only have one job interview, which I am not completely thrilled about anyway. My head has been swirling with ideas. To a degree, one fantasy I have is just saving up for a condo so I can get myself out of here. I see a beautiful one in Wyncote which would be nice. It's a start. I think I am going to copy my manager and save up for a house to buy wherever I go to graduate school. Serenity, right? It doesn't have to be too fancy.

I am going to scour craiglist for job opportunities one more time tonight, and brainstorm some ideas. Then I hope to get some running in tonight. Hopefully I have a development plan in place soon.

Love,
Jessica

Week one of being a college graduate

It's a rainy Monday, and thus far today I haven't done much besides try to begin picking up the chaos in my apartment. It's been pretty gross. I left an unfinished pot of coffee on a side table in my living room, and so much mold grew on it that there was mold on top of mold. I think it goes to show how unsanitary it is to not have a dish washer that does a thoroughfare job at cleaning dishes.

Coming home for a day.

Today I broke from the typical cycle of applying to a job and reading Nietzche (seriously this has been my week) and instead followed through with my mom's request to stop by home. It felt a bit gray as usual. First, my parents were just dying for me to go to the bank and deposit the checks that I received at my graduation party last week. I think that's all they wanted from me really, but per usual, I guess the whole experience was essentially negative. First, one thing I noticed is that every time any mention of my degree comes up, my mom has to take a negative spin on it: Ex.  Today our neighbor Kevin, a guy in his early 30s, was over, and as soon as I said I graduated and congratulated me, my mom had to chime in with, "BUT PROBABLY NOT DONE YET. SHE MAJORED IN ~PSSSYCHOLOGY~ so that means she needs to go back if she wants a job" Frankly, it stings a bit that I can't just savor an accomplishment for 5 seconds without the negative chime in. I don't e...

Quick Introduction and Day 1

Hello There. I've decided to give blogging a second chance as it serves as a calming mechanism for me. I don't know who I used to be relative to now, but if it's worth it, I'll keep continuing. This is generally more of an online diary than it is useful information for now, but I may go back to philosophizing like I used to once I get through this hurdle in my life. xxx Today has been aggravating so far. I've been trying to following the general advice of "If it takes a minute to do it, do it now," and with that said, I decided to finally trudge over to the bank for the third time in the past two weeks to try to settle some issues that I've been facing because I accidentally deposited a fraudulent check. One minute I told myself. However, after the busy manager told me she'd speak with me after 15 minutes, I ended up waiting over an hour for service that took five minutes. I walked out reflecting on how based on the power dynamics, she must...
