well fall is upon us. it's really strange because i feel like i should still be wearing short sleeves and shorts everyday (thanks to all of those years of belated falls in texas), but am constantly surprised when the air is much colder than anticipated. i am having a hard time letting go of summer this year, which is especially strange as fall is my favorite season. this year it is less glamorous than usual. and more rainy.
we are quickly coming upon our move out day and still have not found a house that is suitable. there are plenty of houses, but nothing is really right. too expensive, not big enough, really ugly, really old, furnished, too far away, too soon, too late, and the list goes on and on. oh well. if worst comes to worst, we will end up homeless, but the good news about that is we will be able to get a dog. :) (i kid.)
i have officially been unemployed for a month now. it's been okay but i'm going a bit stir crazy in the house by myself all day. on the bright side, our clothes which have been in piles since we moved in are finally folded and put away. i have been keeping busy applying for jobs, finding little projects to keep me occupied (like cleaning out closets), and going to interviews in oxford. they are starting to pay off as i have had 2 job offers so far. i'm not really sure if either place is where i want to be, and i am torn. i could have this job that i'm not actually sure what i would be doing, but it's for quite a good international charity with quite a good salary. i could also have a job as a personal assistant to a central operations controller at a company i'm not interested in with also a good salary (i go for the second interview tomorrow). or i could go for an unpaid internship for 4-6 months at a charity that i am really passionate about. the good news about that is that there is quite a good possibility that i would be able to work for them after the internship is over.
so you can see my predicament. yes, things will be tight money-wise for a while, but it might be worth it in the end. and there will always be pa/admin jobs after i get finished with the internship if i don't get offered a job. so i need opinions. and prayers. pleaseandthankyou.
xoxo
