Day 1: A Productive Start

Jobs Applied For: 4
Interviews Currently Scheduled: 2
GRE Work: Many many forms to fill out, codes to look up, cost to calculate. Check.
Music Practice: Sadly, No hours completed.

Usually, Mondays are filled with opportunity for the fabulously unemployed. The barren job posting boards from the weekend are generously refilled with all sorts of interesting positions just waiting to be applied to. However, it's August which usually means that everyone is outside enjoying the last sweet taste of summer sun.  There weren't many decent postings today, mostly personal assistant positions. The fact that I was even able to find four decent positions is a feat in itself. Now let's see if I hear back from them.

As for the GREs, it's one thing if you are in the majority of the population and you can just waltz through registration like a ballroom dancer. However if you have a learning disability, you are required to fill out a small mountain of paperwork just to register. I have a mild form of dyslexia, it's nothing too drastic but it is more than enough to give me major test anxiety and qualify me for extended time.  After looking up several complex codes (did you know that the country code for the USA is 592?) I finally completed it all. Just in time for my mother to come home from work and give me holy hell for the inability to fold her clothing. Apparently I'm such an awful daughter.

On the bright side, I have an interview scheduled for late tomorrow afternoon. It'll get me out of town so I can float around and escape for a night. I hope I don't forget my Psychology book.
