With the beginning of a new year approaching rapidly, I have found myself looking back over the past year, ok actually, the past months since graduation. I have never been good at dealing with transitional periods, so I just try to get through them the best I can. But recently, in the past week or so I have been getting overly frustrated with just "trying to get through" and have begun to take measures to change this attitude of mine into something more positive. I have begun the process (albeit at times painful) of re-evaluating my life as it is now.
I am taking steps to alleviate the crapiness that is my work situation by seeking out and applying for gainful employment as opposed to staying at a job that pays shit and takes complete advantage of employees to the nth degree and sometimes (if it is possible) even more than that. It is my personal goal to start a new job when I get back from my trip to Israel/Palestine, so I have a lot of work to do in the next two weeks.
I am also moving. Don't know exactly where yet, but I will be moving from St. Louis Park. I'm hoping for South Minneapolis, but it will probably be one of the burbs right outside Minneapolis. And the sooner I move the better. It would be nice to have everything done at the same time. A new job, a new apartment. And in either Feburary or March I'll be finding out what schools I got into for PhD work and I'll be deciding where I will be going, which is also exciting.
As usual I've gotten off track. The point is, is that I am re-evaluating the direction my life has taken the last few months and I don't like where it is going. I am taking steps to change things and am hopeful that it will all work out in some form or another.
