Life: I suck!

I'm so sorry I've been neglecting you blogger.

You would think with my shiny new Baby Mac I would blog away the days. *sigh*

But nope, between the move, the boyfriend, the friends, the work and the paper, I still find ways to put off blogging. I'm a terrible blogger.

I've decided I need to get a little more organized. I'm doing less things this semester, which so far is going well. I'm feeling more relaxed and happy than I have for awhile. I feel like I'm in a much more positive place than I was last time I wrote. I just need to figure out how to read my calendar.

School is keeping me busy with a capstone class to my communication degree program as well as a photoraphy class. Photography is a test of my patience and understanding. I just don't seem to understand the professor or the assignments. Not to mention, I hate seeing my photos next to artists' photos. There are people in my class who call themselves artists!

Ahhh! I would rather make money writing, thanks. Maybe I'll ask if we can compare writing samples one day just so I can feel better.

I'm also doing a research paper on gender, sexuality and race in news coverage of Prop. 8. It's the first research paper I've done since 10th grade English. I think I'm going to spend more time going over what a research paper is than researching just so I can get it done.

I signed up for May Term so I'm staying in Salt Lake through the end of May for sure. I'm taking two biology classes "Sex in the Brain" and "Evolution, Creation and Intelligent Design." I'm excited!Luckily, worky work asked me to stay so I'll be able to live in my new apartment and pay the rent.

In other life news, I still haven't figured out what I want to do June 1. Last night I found goals I had written down for myself during my freshman year. I was proud to see I had already accomplished some of my goals (like owning my own laptop), but there are others I would still like to achieve and some that are no longer relevant. All I know for sure is I have to figure out a way to pay the bills.

So what advice and experience would you like to share with me?

Internship, s till no job

Hey all,

Remember how I was excited about the second job interview? Well, I went and I couldn't shake the feeling that the job wasn't a good idea. So as Ava says I gave the cliche break up line. Yep, I told them that where I was at in my life didn't fit with their company.

But the good news is I've been asked to interview for my old job in the President's Office at Westminster. I'm taking an internship with Sundance through the month of June. So I'll be blogging less, but learning tons. And I feel good about accepting this internship and hopefully I get my old job back.

Talk to you soon,
Krista

Job search

Hey there,

Some of you might remember I've been looking for a job since January. Well, I finally got called back for a second interview! It's at Salt Lake Marketing Group as an administrative assistant. It's part-time, too. So it should fit with my school, work and writing schedule. By the way, I'm also doing freelance writing these days so if you know any publishers let me know.

Talk to you soon,
Krista

Job seeking

Hello all! This next post is only related to my blog in that I get to talk about me. Yay!

I've been searching for a job for about a month now. I've also pitched some freelance work, but am hearing only silence in reply. As I continue my job/freelance work search I'm getting a little depressed about the whole situation.

I know, I know. It's the economic downturn and no one is hiring. But who wouldn't want an adorable, personable, intelligent woman on their staff? Lots of people, apparently.

Anyway, the complaints aren't the point. Do you know anyone who is hiring in the Salt Lake area? I'm currently studying communication and am able to work in television, film, journalism, public relations and advertising. Of course, I'm willing to work in restaurants or offices. If you know anyone who sounds like they would love to pay me to be amazing for them, please let me know.

Thank you!
