I'm Back. For now.

So turns out there has been a big change in my life and it's pretty exciting. I know, it's a tease to say that and then not share, but whatever. I'll do what I want. LOL. However, those of you that read this and are in on the secret, thanks for keeping it to yourselves.

I'm currently in Jacksonville at my parents' house and the fact that I am unable to sleep in one of my least favorite cities in the world.....well, let's just say I'm not happy. Why don't I just leave? Yeah, good question. Also part of the secret, so I'll just say "I can't."

I'm not able to take the LSAT this month, which is kind of a bummer, but I also didn't study as much as I should have, so it's kind of a good thing. I've signed up to take the one in December, but that's cutting it close. I've been really buckling down so hopefully I'll do well. I was all about going to MSU Law because I've always wanted to go there. But nooooow, Brooklyn Law is making a strong comeback.

You might be thinking, "um, remember that time you went to NY?" And yes, I do. I feel like this time would be different. I'm a strong believer in "everything happens for a reason" and I believe that everything has a time and a place. Maybe last time wasn't really my time and I was trying to force it to be. Maybe this time is. But I won't know until I go. Plus, being there for school is different than being there all willy nilly. I'd have a purpose and a guaranteed place to live for at least my first year. Which is part of the school's appeal. MSU doesn't have that. FAIL. I NEEEED to live north of Florida. I am so jealous of everyone and their fall clothes and pumpkin spice lattes.

Which we obviously have in FL, but how much fun is it to wear a super cute sweater and boots and sip hot lattes in 80 degree weather?

Adios

Bye for now. My life is boring now and since my blog was about my life, it is boring, too.

I'll be back when shit picks up.

Mr. Telephone Man, There's Something Wrong with my Line

I mean, there's gotta be because my phone has not been ringing with any jobs offers. This has never happened to me before; I've ALWAYS been able to get a job. We can blame it on the economy, but really, I don't think that's entirely true. On any given day, I can check facebook and another friend is talking about an interview they are going on or a new job they are about to start. So really, it's not that companies aren't hiring, it's that they're not hiring me.

It seems to be about who you know and not WHAT you know. If I was one of the fortunate ones to have some awesome connections, I'd be thinking that this was a great thing. But alas, I am not.

The two most annoying question I get asked are:

1. "are you actively looking for a job?" Ummm no. I'm not. I've been hoping that an HR manager will get a sign from God that Danielle is looking for a job. A burning bush, perhaps, or frogs raining from the sky. No active participation on my part required.
   
2. "are you applying for ones that you are qualified for?" Nope. I'm only applying for the CEO position with Sony Music. Everything else is beneath me.

Clearly, I am looking for pretty much anything that will pay me in American monies. Now, do I want to work the graveyard shift at 7-11 for $8.50/hour? No. Obviously I need a job that makes it worth my while to get up and go to. Meaning, I need a job that will let me pay my bills. But am I above being a secretary? Not at all.

In conclusion, I am still looking for a job. Holler.

Ch-Ch-Ch-Ch-Changes

I am about to make the biggest change of my life. I've kept it to myself for a while and will continue to do so until I feel that people will accept my decision. Notice I said accept and not understand. My head feels like it's going to split open when I think of how hard I've tried to make others understand where I'm coming from and now I'm at the point in my life that I just don't care anymore. I don't care if you understand, I don't care if you agree. But I at least need them to respect what I've decided.

The time has come, the walrus said.

Namaste

I really feel like maybe I should start doing yoga or perhaps meditating. Lately, I've been getting really irritated with people. I wouldn't say that it's for no reason, but maybe I should learn to let things go. At least, that's what my mom keeps telling me.

That's not my nature, though. While I do know how to choose my battles, there are some things that irk the hell out of me and I just can't let it go. Like a few days ago when my brother asked me how my job search was going. First of all, that's just annoying. Am I still unemployed? Okay then. That should be an indication of how it's going. What really pissed me off is when he said "I bet a masters in psychology is looking really good right now."

Actually, it's not. Yes. 10 YEARS AGO I want to be a psychologist. However, I have since changed my mind so whyyyyyy would I get an advanced degree in something I don't wish to make my career? Exactly. It bothers me to no end when people are basically telling me that what I choose to do now is not good enough or not a good decision. Which I expressed to him and that should be the end of it. However, I can't stop thinking about how annoying that moment was. That's how it's been lately with a lot of different situations. It'd be one thing if I held my feelings in and let them fester, but I don't. I make them quite known but I still can't let it go.

I might need something stronger than yoga. A lobotomy, perhaps.

You Look Kinda Cute in that Polka Dot Bikini Giiiiiirl

I am not ashamed to admit that I am beyond excited that Jersey Shore is back. I may be one of the hundreds that saw the very first episode and wished I could get back those 2 hours of my life. However, I continued to watch and am now completely Team GTL. If I had to rank them in favorite order, it would be:

1. Snooki
2. Pauly D
3. Situation
4. J-Wow
5. Ronnie
6. Sammi
7. Vinnie
8. Angelina

I don't even really like Angelina, but since she's there (for now) I figured I would include her. I wonder how long it will be before she leaves again? And, I'd like to say, the ONLY reason she came back is because she saw how well they did the first time around and was definitely kicking herself for being an idiot.

Between studying for the LSAT and applying for jobs, I have A LOT of time for television watching. Consider that a warning because my blog is about to include a lot more entries about Danielle and her craziness, Teresa and whether or not she is actually bankrupt, whether or not Preston and Ryan will ever get along, and figuring out the correct way to pronounce Jemmey's name.

Just As I Suspected

My blog is less interesting because my life is now less interesting.

Blah.
