Wow...living at home is boring.  I've only been back in Tacoma for one night, and it's not too fun.  I was busy unpacking last night, and I got kinda creeped out in this big house.  And then some scary commercial came on...and I tend to convince myself that scary things are happening around me.  Not my best trait. 

Today, I applied for a bunch of jobs, wrote a bunch of cover letters, and organized my living space.  I still have some boxes to unpack, but my room's looking pretty okay.  I'm going golfing this evening with my mom, and I'm kind of excited about it.  It's been a couple years since I played nine holes, so it should be interesting.  I don't really know what I'm gonna be doing with my days from now on.  I should really go visit the homies in East Tacoma, but transportation is an issue.  I hope I can get out there before Dara goes back to Michigan. 

Come visit me in Tacoma, everyone.  You know where to find me...

Wow.  I am elated!  I just called in to see whether I was excused from jury duty, and I so was!  Yippie!  They totally bought my lame excuse...but I'm glad, because I have a chemistry midterm next Friday, and a job interview next Tuesday that I would've had to miss for jury duty, so yay.  Go Teresa. 

On a sadder note, I was supposed to go clubbing tonight with a bunch of KhSA peeps, but everyone bailed at the last second, and I could've stayed at David's house to watch more Full Metal Alchemist, but I left to go clubbing, and now I'm sitting at home all bored on a Friday night.  Oh well, bygones.

I'm kinda concerned about my job search.  I didn't get that job I really wanted at Pacific Northwest Research Institute.  Now I signed up with a placement agency, Labtemps, and I'm hoping something fruitful will come of that.  I'm still applying like crazy, all over the greater Seattle area.  This job interview I have on Tuesday is with a lab here at UW, in the Genome Sciences department.  I secretly don't think I'll get it though, because I'm up against like, 3 people, and I'm not as qualified as I should be for this job.  When the guy called me, he made a big point of telling me that I'll have to have an FBI background check if I get this job, because we'll be handling bacterial pathogens that could be used for biological warfare.  Creepy...

I'm getting nervous, since my lease is expiring at the end of next month, and I still don't know where I'm gonna live, and I can't move anywhere until I get a job.  My mom said, "Teresa, what if you can't find a job soon enough?  What's your back-up plan?"  And I said, "Mom, I fly by the seat of my pants.  It keeps me motivated."  And that's the truth.  I have NO back-up plan!  So if my lease expires and I don't have a job yet, I'm gonna be out on my ass.  (*bites nails)  Pray for me...

Hmmm....I don't know what I'm feeling...(sigh) .  My bro's grad party was today, and that was super fun.  Soo many people, sooo much food.  Good times.  Didn't get a chance to watch Phantom again with my fam, though.  Oh well, there's always next weekend.  I saw so many family members I hadn't seen in years, and my auntie's pregnant!  I confirmed that today.  I'm so excited about that, because they've been trying for ages.  So why is it that responsible people who are financially able to care for a child have to "try" to get pregnant, when 15 year olds get drunk and do it accidentally the first time they have sex?  God's somewhere laughing about that one...anyway, I have a fatty genetics quiz tomorrow, so I should go study.  Nighty night, ya'll...

Wow, I'm the worst blogger ever.  So I've been frantically trying to find a job.  I've decided to devote at least two hours every day to scouring the web and applying for jobs online.  I've applied to sooo many, but my qualifications leave something to be desired...2 years experience?  Not so much...but I'm sure I can find something soon, hopefully anyway. 

School starts again next week, and I am sooo broke.  Too broke to buy books.  And I tried to register for the MCAT and the GRE, and the combination of these two tests is gonna cost me upwards of $450, so I might wait a while.  I've gotta take the MCAT in August, but I can let the GRE slide a little bit.  Maybe in September or October I'll have money for it.

That's it for now.  Stay tuned.
