I Must Shout It to the World My Happiness!
Mar. 8th, 2007 10:57 am(I think that's from "Mr. Deeds," but correct me if I'm wrong)
What has brought this sudden bout of glee into my life? A few things:
1. I found my wonderful and terrific and great and awesome (I could go on) friend,![[info]](https://stat.livejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif)
faewren on LJ. She kind of sought me out first by way of sending me an e-mail to tell me about animeOnline, which is kind of a MySpace for Otakus (but scores better than MySpace, I'll have you know). I've been feeling guilty that I don't keep in touch with that group of friends as much and I'm about to graduate college and my life is probably going to get even busier, so I really have no good excuse.
2. The USU Career Fair was yesterday and buried underneath the mountains of displays from engineering companies, there were actually a few that were looking for English-major-writing-type peoples. One company in particular was a real estate company that actually uses Internet technology to advertise. And not just "Oh, we have a website and you'll be listed there," I'm talking DVD presentations, podcasts, online newsletters to let clients know about the area -- which is where my mad writing skillz would come in handy (!) -- and recordings of training sessions that you can listen to in the car and actually learn a little something about what the heck you're trying to do. That was always my turn-off to real estate. If I decided not to do it, it would be because it's so gosh dang hard to get started, especially when your scores-more-experienced broker is taking all the good listings. The only problem is that this company is based in Brigham City and I'm kind of wanting to get to where I can live in or around Salt Lake more. I've been so far away from family and friends for so long and I'm getting tired of it.
Then again, I have to get my real estate license first, and that might take awhile. Real Estate School itself isn't hard, it's all the money you have to pay to take classes, take tests, licensing fees, et cetera. I have probably enough to get me through until May 5, but after that, I'll be looking for free rent at home or a cardboard box on the side of the road. I haven't decided which.
3. I am T-minus 25 hours until I can leave for Spring Break!! I'll get to see the family sooner than expected because I'll be going through Delta and they'll probably be there when I get there. Then, it's a week of simply enjoying life with the fam (not to mention some good ol' home cookin' -- yum)
Love from,
