The mumbo jumbo of getting my ducks in a row.

After blundering my way through the originally-meticulous plans for my move to SK, I find myself around 6 weeks away from the plunge and...still don't have a job. I am talking with both recruiters currently; however, due to a blooming social life (and a few dead-end dates with a few not-so-tasteful-males *cough*), the phone/email tag I play with my recruiters, not to mention the semi-full time job I already am employed with...I haven't been entirely on the ball about doing much job searching on my own. Leaving my life in the hands of recruiters that flat out aren't measuring up to the performance level I was expecting just makes me cringe a little in displeasure at my own overly-trusting persona.

I'm trying to get back into job hunting again though (see, I'm even staying home tonight instead of getting rowdy with friends out on the town!) and will hopefully make some headway here pretty soon.

Essentially RtoT has been shoving me in the direction of EPIK (which I'm sure is a good program, but that's exactly what has me hesitant--it's another program I would be applying for--not an actual school), and my guy Brandon from IPR...told me a few weeks ago I would be hearing from him in a week (and I did not hear so much as an exhale in my direction since). I shot him an email a few days ago and missed a call the next evening, so will have to call him back hmm...maybe tonight.

I'm just tired of getting jerked around and re-explaining myself a dozen times about where I want to be and my expectations of the school. All in all, I know this is going to be a great experience for me (but my heartstrings are getting little tugs). Now that it's really coming down to the time where I set out on my journey and everyone here...forgets about me. Ha! I really hope not, but to a certain extent this is sadly (and assuredly) true.

Eternally the optimist though, right? Now that I do look at the clock, I COULD call Brandon back right now, exciting! Okay, off to try and make some progress. :)

Girl who just wants to hop across the water (and to stop attracting/falling for assholes).
