Your kiss is torture, but killing me would be too easy...
Is Jackie the only chick who would walk to her sister's house at night, after watching a documentary about a couple that raped and killed girls? Cuz I did. It's okay though, when I walked home I carried my keys so I could stab someone in the eye, if need be :P

Renee lives in the same subdivision, so it's all good in the hood.

Earlier I was looking for jobs, and OMG how frustrating! I don't think I know what I'm doing. I've never hunted for a career, just stupid little jobs. I was getting so angry. I'm not sure what I'm going to do. I'll probably write Robin and ask her if we can meet when classes are back in session so she can help me figure this crap out.

I have to do it quick, too. I just got my bill for student loans. I'm lucky, it could have been sooooo much higher, but a debt is a debt. And I hate them. They make me have panic attacks. So in October, I have to start paying $63 a month. Ughhhh. I need to find SOMETHING. I don't know what to do :(

First and foremost, do not stress about it. Relax! Take a day to yourself, relax, go to a Starbucks, grab yourself a Zen tea misto with melon (trust me, you'll love me for it!) and then find the classifieds or if you have a laptop, they have hot spots at Starbucks where you could hook up your net and then search your local online job bank for jobs in your field.

If you can't find anything online or in the newspaper, go to your career centre in the school (all schools have them - at least here in Canada they do) and speak to a counsellor there about what you are getting a degree in and ask her if she knows how to get in communication with people who are looking for grads with your background.

Most companies will alert schools about jobs they need employees for because they need people who know what they are doing and a school is a perfect place to find them.

I hope that helps. I've never even been to college, did I do good?

Is it lame that I'm scared to call Career Services??? I even worked there, and I know the woman pretty well, but I'm sooooooooo nervous.

I'd like to post my resume online in a few places, but I don't know where's legit! Like careerbuilder.com, I looked for jobs there and they send me updates every once in a while, but they're all shitty/shady jobs that I just don't want. But maybe it'll be different if I actually look in the art section.

But yes, that helps. I might try that Starbucks idea. My friend Amanda and I keep meaning to meet up there. Maybe a new environment will clear my head. So thanks :)

You did very good. Jackie looooves you :)

Go talk to that lady as a friend and tell her that your nervous and don't know where to start. She'll probably point you in the right direction.

Ask your friend about which websites you can go to.

Tell me what you think of the Zen tea misto! Don't forget the melon!

:) Yay!
