So, I didn't get the job. Sigh. Story of my life. So close, yet so far. Back to the drawing board I guess. My friend Chad suggested a website to me if I still am interested in positions in the field of admissions. Its called higheredjobs.com. Believe it or not, I think I might try that route for a little bit. My writing career has kind of gone into hibernation. Editor Chris doesn't seem to want to send me out to cover anything no matter how much I beg him. If my writing sucks so bad I wish he'd just say so and move on with it. He's a nice guy most of the time but I wish he'd just be honest with me instead of just saying "We'll see" everytime I ask him to send me out.

Marti's boyfriend from Alabama, her brother and nephew are coming to visit Wednesday. I can hardly wait. Not that I don't like hanging out with these guys but contrary to what she may think, I do have to get up for work Thursday and Friday. So help me if I am kept awake because they can't be considerate and keep their big mouths shut there will be hell to pay. Oh yes, there will be hell to pay.

My college's homecoming is next (Oct. 12) Saturday. Since I've graduated it just doesn't have the same excitement as when I was still in school. Main reason being because I can't party like I used to. We would start drinking the Wednesday before the official Homecoming game and not stop until the wee hours of Sunday morning. My liver still hurts! Of course, this year marks my 5th year reunion. Sigh. I can't believe I've been out of college for 5 years. Time is just flying and I wish I could stop it. I am increasingly getting the feeling that life is moving on for other people and I am getting left behind. Case in point, my friend Jennifer from high school made the announcement yesterday that she is expecting a baby in April. Sigh. I'm having a hard enough time keeping my plants alive. I have also made the discovery that I am still very self-centered. No really, I am. There is just so much I want to do before I get bogged down with a family I don't think I'm ready to give up that freedom yet. At least that is what I keep telling myself.
