I'd like to start this post out with a "Let's go HOKIES!"
We went to the VT vs GT game last night with a few friends of ours and it was just like old times, except it was completely different...I think I'm going to have quite a few of these reality checks over the next few months. I know that things won't be the same as they used to be (I'm not an undergrad anymore and the overwhelming majority of my friends have graduated and moved on) but it was still kind of a shock. Don't get me wrong, it's not like I didn't have a great time at the game, but it was just so different from tailgating and watching the game with my core group of friends and the brothers of my husband's fraternity. I'm sure that at some point, I will become closer friends with the people I know here, and then things will be a little more fun for me. The game was intense and FREEZING but in the end, we pulled out the win, thanks to my favorite player, David Wilson.
Today, the hubby and I are going to look at an apartment that we can't afford and then we are driving up to D.C. to see some friends for the weekend. Well, the hubby is going to go up to visit some of his family in Baltimore while I visit friends in D.C. I'm kinda having a sad moment because it will be the first nights we've spent apart since we got married - and I'm gonna miss him!!
We have been talking a little about buying a small "starter" house instead of renting. It's looking like it is just barely out of our reach on just the one salary...I'm really hoping I get a job soon. I met with a dual career counselor at the university yesterday, and basically got told that my husband and I don't actually qualify for the program - but they're going to help me, anyways. It seems like I will still have to find the jobs, but they will help by contacting the hiring manager and letting them know I am enrolled in this program. Hopefully, something will turn up.
I'm going through heartbreak right now because I found the perfect position, and was in the middle of applying for it, when it closed. I literally had uploaded my resume and was going to upload my cover letter when the position closed. At 3:19 pm. REALLY? Cuz that's not random at all! Apparently, they only have 2 people that they are interviewing, so I'm hoping that neither works out, and I can apply to the position when they re-open it. We'll see.
So anyways, that's what has been going on here, now I'm off to pack for D.C. The hubby had to work today, so I know he'll be exhausted by the end of the day and I'll probably end up doing some (or a lot) of the driving...boooo
Go Hokies!
ReplyDeleteWhen the position closed, did the listing go away? I'd say, contact the people who listed the job and send them your stuff anyway. They may get your resume and go, "She's way better qualified than these two idiots who applied."
Fo Sho.
Haha already done. But no luck. Apparently rules are rules within VT jobs. The Dual Hire Coordinator actually called the hiring manager for the position while I was with her and harassed him for a minimum of 15 minutes trying to get him to accept my application. oh well.
