Negative Nancy

Yep, that's me. I'm a Negative Nancy today. Maybe even a little bit of a Debbie Downer.

I mean it's bad. I have yelled at people while driving (who obviously can't hear me), yelled at my cell phone (who doesn't seem to want to yell back), ranted and raved when I got home to Jordan about how awful I think facebook is (which he LOVED because he HATES facebook), and on and on. I am just exhausted. I have exactly 25 days left until graduation and I am feeling every bit of it. I even went so far as to ask off for next week just to get my ducks in a row and to not feel the way I feel right at this moment. After this week I will have only 18 hours left of my internship. I have to say, those 400 hours went FAST! I have enjoyed my time at the HD, but I am ready to move on.....ok, actually, I am just ready to work for money and not for free. I would love to stay there, but there aren't any job openings.

Have I mentioned that I apply daily for at least 4+ jobs?? I am DYING for a job. I am desperate. I am so desperate that I am even considering a job that pays...ummm....6 less dollars an hour than my CVS job. (p.s.--you better love public health, because it's never going to make you rich).

Have I also mentioned that I have found a new love for environmental health? So much that I am actually angry that I didn't major in it. So much that I am looking into it for my master's.

That's right, I said master's. I have found out that in the public health world, I HAVE to have a master's. There's only two words to sum up how that makes me feel......DAMN IT! I thought I would be done for a while, but as the magic 8 ball says, outlook not so good.

Can you see why I feel like a crazy person who needs medication? I feel like I am drowning in a sea of papers, binders, cover letters, and resumes.....and I'm not a very good swimmer.
