Life is Ironic

I had to laugh because one day after posting about how thankful I was for a car that worked I went out to my car to go somewhere and my car wouldn't start!  Turns out my battery needed to be charged it looks like I accidently left a light on!  At least it chould be charged and now is working good!

So I recently celebrated a birthday and do not always like the idea of turning one year older.  I had a wise friend once tell me that I should learn to embrace my age so this is an attempt to embrace my age by listing 32 things that I am thankful for in my life.  So here it goes....

4. 18 nieces and nephews

Not Sure What To Say

Well like many times in the past I have vowed to be better at blogging, but time always slips away from me!  I don't really have much to report since my last post. I have gotten a lot of reading done, stayed up late, tried not to sleep in and of course I have been job hunting. I have had three interviews, but none of them have resulted in a job as of yet.  I knew when I graduated that it would be hard, but I guess I was not prepared for how long it has taken.  It has only been a little over a month since I graduated but it feels like forever! Don't get me wrong I am glad for the interviews that I have had, I think I would be more frustrated if I had not had anything at this point.  I am thankful for my time off and have enjoyed being lazy at times, but I feel I am ready to go back to work! If anyone know of a social work job let me know!

Reflection

 I have been thinking a lot over these past few weeks as I have prepared to finish school and graduate just how fast time goes by.  I felt like I was going to be a student forever, but here I am ready to graduate with my masters degree.  I am excited for what lies ahead for me, but also a little nervous at the same time as I go out into the world of job hunting!
