My great weekend

I went to Virginia Beach last weekend for a job interview with a marketing research firm. It was way fun. They flew me out there on Friday for the interview, then I had the weekend to explore and didn't leave until Sunday. I stayed in a beautiful hotel right on the ocean. It was awesome. It was 85 degrees and sunny! (much nicer than Michigan has been lately) I went out Friday and Saturday with some people from the company, they were pretty cool. It seems like a nice place to work/live. They just called me today with an offer finally. I'm supposed to get all the details fed-ex'd overnight so I can look at everything tomorrow. I'm excited to finally be out of school, but I'm not looking forward to making these huge life-changing decisions. Luckily, my boyfriend will be back from Israel tomorrow. I haven't been able to talk to him in a few weeks, so it will be nice to clue him in on what has been happening since he's been gone. I'll update everyone when I make my decisions. (I'm still applying to the Peace Corps, just waiting for medical clearance, and also have a perspective job in Nebraska as well)

I'm Going to the Beach!

So I had a phone interview for a marketing research job in Virginia Beach, Virginia today and it went really well. I get to go to for a visit next Friday! I'm going to stay until Sunday and go to the beach hopefully too. I'm hoping to get a good offer from this company, the position sounds really interesting and it'd be nice to relocate and live only 5 miles from the ocean. I'm getting antzy at home just sitting around, so this would be a nice change.
On another note, I went to my cousin's wedding this weekend and my boyfriend Dave came down for it. We had a nice time. He even caught the garter and got to put it on some 16-year old girl who caught the bouqet. It was quite amusing, atleast now nobody in my family can forget who he is. It was nice seeing him again. We've been together for two years but only get to see each other about once a month :(

looking to the future while reconnecting with lost friends

Hello everyone,
So I've hopped on the bandwagon and started my own blog. I don't even know what the word means, but I thought it'd be a good way to pass the time and catch up with everyone. Last Saturday I graduated from Michigan Tech with a Bachelors Degree in Business Administration-Marketing with an International Minor in Spanish and a Certificate in International Business. It sounds impressive, but I have yet to find a job unfortunately. So that means I'm spending some time at home with the parents trying to figure out my life. I have an offer with the Peace Corps to do small business development in South America for 2 years, but I'm not sure that could handle being that far away from everyone I love. So for now, I'm doing the traditional job search, looking for that perfect little cubicle, wherever it may be. I should have lots of time to work on this thing, so hopefully I can keep it up-to-date and reconnect with some old friends.
