Week 3: The Impending Job Hunt

Today started off like every other morning: wake up, check phone, lay in bed, check phone again, etc. I finally pulled myself out of bed and started a pot of coffee. Getting out of bed is a little bit easier knowing that my coffee mug will soon be filled with liquid happiness. Coffee is everything.

I drank my morning coffee with a guest today: the LinkedIn Jobs section. I found a few that suited my interests, read the descriptions, and closed out of the tab with a sense of anxiety. The thought of sending my resume out and applying to jobs for post-grad life has been looming over my head for the past few months. It's such an exciting thing to think about--working in a field that genuinely interests me. But it's also kinda terrifying.

Later on I received a call from my professor slash new "boss" about the internship I should have started a month ago, but hey, better late than never, right?

Goals for this internship:

• Overcome my fear of leaving voicemails. They are the literal worst.
• Learn how to make a pitch so irresistible that people will be calling me
• Get paid big bucks (...Right.) while leaving nervous, possibly slurred-word voicemails

Maybe I'm being a little too hard on myself. Whatever. I just hope I won't stretch myself too thin this semester with three jobs and school. But that's a whole nother story.

Time for bed. It's almost 1 a.m. and I've got a long day ahead of me. Also my laptop is going to die soon and I'm already comfy in bed and too lazy to get the charger.
