Well
kids, I’m back. It’s been a bittersweet break for me. On the upside: I have an
adorable new nephew (those are my parents and niece pictured with him), got my chairs repainted and some more house decorating
done and got a brand new sewing machine for Christmas. I also made a couple of
scarves, one for my roommate and one for my friend Thomas,[1]
and read a couple of books.[2]
On the
downside: I am no longer doing the entrepreneurship project and the offices for
my internship have been relocated and so I have no internship. It’s like being back at square one with no
plans and no fallback, right now. I’m just applying at everything that seems
interesting or I think will get my resume in front of a company; circulating my
resume and stalking company websites for jobs. However, it is exciting because
I really have no idea where I’ll end up now.
Classes
this semester are shaping up to be interesting. I have strategic management,
enterprise systems and grant writing for the social sciences. Strategic
management will definitely be very useful and enterprise system should also be
eye-opening because I don’t have a lot of experience with ERP. Grant Writing
will, hopefully, open the door to some freelance opportunities and it’s also
part of the Cross-Sector Certification program. If I get a job in Fayetteville,
then I might be able to complete that certification, which would open up some
opportunities in the public sector for me.
Alright
kiddos, that’s it for this week. Hopefully next week I’ll be all positives!
