Back to the grindstone

Spring break is over. It went by so fast, too fast. I could have used another week off. Or maybe I'm just ready for summer to come, though I will probably have to get another job since I won't be able to pick up enough hours at Barnes and Noble, and I'm not sure where I'll work. I was thinking of applying to a temp agency. I have tons of receptionist experience, and the pay is better than minimum wage jobs. I had a fun time in California, and then didn't do much the weekend I had home. I went to see V for Vendetta, and it was really good. I also (finally!) watched Walk the Line, which I also very much enjoyed. I was such a bum this weekend. I don't know why, but I have just been feeling so tired lately, like I don't want to go out and do much, and this is not like me. I'm not sure what it's about, if I'm just working a lot and feeling tired from that, or if it is something else.

Today my supervisor is gone, so I am social working all on my own, and it's kind of a fun experience. I feel like a real social worker, because this is what it will be like for me next year. I got an email from the agency I'm going to go over to the UK with, saying they noticed it was near my graduation date and wondering what I was thinking about going. I was kind of flattered that they had saved my email and had written me back though it's been about 4 months since I've contacted them. I have to put a CV together, which is different in the UK than it is in America, so that will be interesting. I have a timeline of stuff to do, and I need to get started in this. There is so much paper work to fill out and things to apply for before I go. I'm going to try to get my CV written before the weekend is over so I can send that in. I have a basic resume, but it definitely needs tweaking.

I got a call from one of my friends, Chris, from U of I about going out this weekend. I'm going to meet his new girlfriend. I hope it goes okay, I just hate being a third wheel. We're meeting for coffee and a movie. I also got a call from this girl I used to work with at Barnes and Noble who recently moved to Chicago about coming and seeing her new apartment, so I think I'm going to do that. I also have my last class on Friday! That will be so good to get over, and then I will only have one last assignment, and my graduate career will be practically finished. It is coming up so fast, but I feel ready to be done with school. Especially when I will enter a profession where I will get two weeks off at Christmas and three months off during the summer. : ) Can't beat that.
