So the job search has begun… I finalized my resumes.. have an app with career services and even started applying already.  I went out and bought all that professional paper for the resumes and envelopes…Now all I have to do is get them out there.  So much stress from my parents already with getting a job and everything.  Everytime I call them up just to say “hi” it’s “So, did you find a job yet? You should really get on that and fast!  You’ll be be graduating in no time!”  Ugh, like I haven’t heard that for the past three months.. I kno!  I”m looking fowars to graduating because I’m sick of school, but I just hope I’m happy with being at home when I’m out.  Parents add a lot of pressure when it’s time to grow up so I think it’s gonna be pretty tough the first couple months out of school.  We’ll see.  All I wish for is a full time job and fast, with a decent salary. 

Spring Break March 20, 2008

I can’t believe there’s only about a month of school left.  A little scary when you think about it.  Has anyone started job searching yet?  Job searching has been stressing me out the most these past couple months.  Mostly because I haven’t even started yet!  Of course I’ve been on job search engines and browsed around, but nothing has really caught my eye yet.  Some of those descriptions are so intimidating too with all those requirements that are expected of you.  I felt like I was trying to read a foreign language!  I’m hoping to get my resume up on some sites in the next few days just to give me a little bit of a push.  Better than nothing right?  I’m hoping that in a few months I’ll be sitting in an office thinking, “Hey what was I stressing out about? Here I am with a full time job and everything worked out just the way it was supposed to.”  I’ve had many chats with some of my friends that have been working in the real world for about 2 years already.  They probably get annoyed at me because I ask so many questions but it’s nice to be able to talk to people that have already been through these things that I’m currently stressing out about.  Makes life a little bit easier.

So this past weekend, I took a trip to NY with a friend.  My friend surprised me with “The Little Mermaid” Broadway tix.  I have to say I was so impressed with this show.  “The Little Mermaid” is already my favorite Disney movie, but this show was just breathtaking.  Costumes were amazing as well as the set.  Many of the actors portrayed great talent as well. The only thing that I was a little disappointed about was some of the changes the plot took.  Many scenes were added in that had never happened and many were taken out.  I know that this has to be done because not everything that’s portrayed in a movie is possible on the stage.  Also, I felt that the actress that played Ursula, did not really do her character justice.  She wasn’t as conniving, or as sneaky as the Ursula from the animated movie.  Her voice was the complete opposite from what it should have been.  The character in the movie has a very raspy sort of deep voice and in the show her voice was high and squeaky which didn’t really make the character for me.  Overall though, everything else about the show was amazing.   Everytime I go into the city, whatever show I’m seeing never ceases to amaze me.  I’ve seen so many shows and I still have a list of the ones I want to see.  My next show in line is definitely “The Lion King.”  I would definitely recommend “The Little Mermaid” to anyone who enjoys Disney or even Broadway.  It’s definitely a show you don’t want to miss.

Summertime March 5, 2008

Summer is almost here and I’m very excited.  Every summer, absolutely every weekend is dedicated to the Jersey Shore.  My parent have a shore house in Lavallette so that’s where most of my summer memories are made.  I love being able to go down and sit on the beach all day with friends and just have nothing to worry about.  Nights are all about going out and having a good time. Maybe going out for a night of dancing or even to go see your favorite cover band perform somwhere.  And best of all, the cold weather is gone so you can do more outside.  It’s only a little over 3 months away and I can’t wait.  I live for my summers, can’t you tell?
