Hello again!
Sorry, but not a lot to update on the job search front right now. I have temporarily paused my applications and whatnot in order to fully focus on preparing for my comprehensive exams...which I take a week from today! AHHHH!!!
Right now is pretty exciting though. My comps study group decided to head up to the mountains for a study retreat, which is AMAZING. The cabin is perfect, the company is amazing, and the knowledge if flowing....well, sort of. Honestly though, I'm not THAT concerned about Comps - I know I have learned a lot over the past two years, and even more than that, I've had experiences to apply the things I've learned. I feel like I know a lot. But there is a lot of uncertainty as to what is going to be on the exam, and that part stresses me out. For now, I'm going to focus on enjoying my time with friends, taking in the beautiful (freezing) views, and straightening out my theories.
I have continued to create a list of positions for which I am applying; currently probably at like 30 or some absurd number like that. A lot of LGBTQ positions (far more than I was expecting) have been posted, so I'm very excited about that. Once Comps are over I plan to hit the ground running and try to apply for like 5 positions a week at least - is that absurd? I'm not sure exactly what my schedule will be. I do know that I would love to have a position secured by hooding, which is May 10th.
Good news - the friend who I thought I would be "competing" against has an on-campus interview this week, and the position needs to be filled by March...so wouldn't it be awesome if he got that job? He would be happy, I would be happy - everyone happy.
Dinner time at the cabin, then back to the studying grind. Catch ya on the flip side :)
