Get in that boat and row.

It has almost been 4 weeks since I returned back home and life has changed dramatically. Upon arriving from Australia on a Friday at 11:30 pm, I graduated the next day from UGA and also moved into my parent's house. So that makes 3 major life changes within 12 hours: continent, education status, and living situation. Jet lag was ridiculous and there was no telling what my sleep schedule was going to be from night to night; some mornings I woke up at 6 am and some afternoons I would wake up at 1 pm.

Since there was no job waiting for me here, the job search has been a top priority. I have a steady stream of applications going out into the real world with a trickle every now and then coming back to me. As of now, I have only secured a tutoring job for two hours every week. Not that impressive? You're telling me. It's better than nothing, and mom and dad have been more than gracious in allowing me to stay at home while I find a job and get stabilized.

The thought of moving back home always made me cringe, but I must admit that I don't have any complaints (yet). Peachtree City is not the most happening town, but I am almost grateful to have some down time. Senior year was the busiest I had at UGA by far and there was no break before starting student teaching in Australia. I also have the opportunity to volunteer with Janet at the Breast Cancer Survivors' Network. I worked with Janet in high school when her support group was run out of her house. Now she has an office and is receiving grants for her non-profit! It is so exciting to be back with her and see how big the organization is now. There are multiple fundraisers that they are working on and I have been able to help out because of the ideas that I picked up while being an officer in Make-A-Wish @ UGA. My only issue: all the pink.

Hopefully the next post that I write will include a job offer. Good luck vibes welcomed...jobs too :)
