even though it feels like i just started my internship yesterday, the ten weeks is over (actually, it was over last week, i just didn't post cause i'm lazy/busy). i really enjoyed working at vought even though working 35 hour weeks made me realize i don't really like working real world hours (but part of that could have been that after work i had to study every day so it seemed like longer days). my mom informed me nobody does and that i have to suck it up. also, i realized that i don't really want to climb the corporate ladder; i'd rather start halfway up. i was once again informed that nobody wants to and it is something you just have to do. all in all i learned a lot and really enjoyed the experience. i was hoping they would hire me, but there is not currently a job position available. however, maybe in four to six months. it is just something i'm going to have to pray about since God knows where he wants me. in the meantime i'm planning on substitute teaching for some money while i finish school. my last semester starts on thursday. Praise the Lord! the end is in sight. I know i just started my masters but i'm ready to be done. in case you couldn't tell, patience isn't really my virtue (but i'm working on it).
in other news, one of my professors emailed me to tell me that he recommended me to health planning systems (a health care consulting firm that works with UTSouthwestern medical center) for two of their job openings. one is a senior financial analyst position and the other is is a strategic planning analyst. i would love either job. another thing to pray about.
basically, keep me in your prayers that i would find the perfect job (if there is such a thing) and that while i'm waiting i would rely on God since He is in control. i have a slight issue with feeling like i have no marketable skills-- even though deep down i know i do-- and am afraid that nobody will want to hire me--which they will (i hope). i know God has a plan, I just sometimes wish He would put it on a neon sign for me. but i guess that would defeat the whole purpose of faith.
i went to oklahoma with a friend this weekend to visit one of my besties (and forgot my camera, of course). suffice it to say that we had a great time. it was really nice to just chill and relax since i really haven't gotten to do that all summer. i'm going to miss living five feet away from them and seeing them every day.
i'm still training for the half marathon and am getting kind of paranoid about running longer distances. in the past it would have been no big deal for me to just crank out the mileage, but i haven't seriously run in a while. the race isn't until december and my training program should have me prepared by november, so i'm planning on taking it slow and repeating weeks if i have to. really, i need to just quit worrying about it and run.
lastly, i LLOOVVEE the olympics. i would watch them 24 hours a day if i could. as it is i've watched them way too much. i think it would be really interesting to do a study on the amount of productivity in the world during the olympic games. my guess is that it plummets. also, i've decided that it would be cool to walk/jog around the great wall of china. since it is just over 4,000 miles long i could do ten miles a day for 400 days, which would take me just over a year to complete. maybe someday...
