It's not the first time I've been thrown out a window, and it won't be the last.

Ok, so apparently I was wrong in my last blog... Let's just say the interview with the guy at Wright State wasn't a good experience. You'd think that when they want an interview it's a good thing, right? Not so. The guy basically just told me I wasn't smart enough or good enough. He told me my grades weren't that good and neither was my GRE score. Why thank you, I felt my self-esteem was getting a little too high. So based on that experience, I'm anticipating a rejection letter. I also got a rejection letter from BYU, thus I am back in limbo. I should be used to being in limbo. I'm here so much I should buy a house. I don't know how much longer I can work here... I like the people, which is the most important thing, but the job itself is sooo mundane and boring. Well, it works for now.

So, now that I'm in limbo, I'm trying to look on the positive side and look at it as a fresh start, if you will. I'm considering abandoning the science field completely. I thought about going for my masters in library science. I could be a library curator or work in archives. I could be like the lady from National Treasure! I'll probably end up retaking the GRE anyway, hopefully doing better the next time around. My friend Brandon here at work tells me I should be a teacher of little people. Other people tell me (I think they're mostly joking...) I should get my MBA. Haha, yeah right. What do you think? Any suggestions for new career paths for me?

Hmmmm.... that sucks. It's too bad, becuase the CS and CEG professors at WSU seem to be an okay group of people. It sounds like Ream is just a stuck-up, namby-pampy, nitwitty mo-ron. Do you think you'd like being a teacher or librarian? Somebody once said that you need to find something to do that you love, and you'll never work a day in your life. I would have hated being a civil engineer, I'm so glad I switched, even if it put me behind in school, as I really enjoy what I'm doing now, instead of dreading it. So I would say, figure out what would make you look forward to going to work (almost) everyday, and try and get to where you can do that everyday.
