100 days till graduation

I did my resume and cover letter last night. I hate both of those things and am never happy with the final product, this whole process always make me feel very small and insecure and I hate having to sell myself in bullets and summations, just meet me and talk to me! Gah, who made all these rules and standards anyways?

I'm currently having them reviewed by everyone and their mother so your feedback is appreciated if you're interested in taking a gander at them for me.

I'm thinking I'm going to apply for an academic advisor position at Salve Regina, which is in Newport, RI (a beautiful school and area). It's 3 1/2 hours from home just like here is, and only 2 hours from here so I could visit Mary and Crissy very easily! We'll see, I've come to terms with the fact that I need to expand a bit in my job search as times are tough... plus I always forget that I don't have to work in NY or CT to be near home, the northeast isn't all that big and places in RI and other states can be just as close... I'm just so afraid of going somewhere where I have no one again. That was hard and scary enough last year and I'm incredibly lucky to have made the few great friends I had here but I don't know if I'm up for doing it again...

HOPEFULLY our budget will pass and we'll be able to fill the position that will soon be open where I currently work because I ABSOLUTELY LOVE IT and have realized how stupid I would be to leave if I had the chance to stay because very rarely do you find a job that you love, with an amazing boss, and phenomenal staff (with 1 exception). The big risk and scary thing with that is if I applied and didn't get it, I would be heartbroken.... but I guess it's as the saying goes nothing good comes without taking chances or whatever.

Okay I'm off to be productive or something


ps Revolutionary Road is a wicked downer, shocker
