I am listening to the combined sounds of my cat trying to burrow into some dark corner of my closet and a new band I discovered today, reveling in the same lazy sensation of yesterday evening.
Today was specifically less fruitful as far as job hunting but positive steps forward have been made by way of inquiry. There is so much on this deadline, and somehow I am remaining mostly calm in the face of it. Then, talk to me again at the end of the month!
Days are sort of beginning to fade in and out of each other, marked only by outings with my friends and the weekly interview. One of these will be the one, I keep thinking. Which is, of course, followed by a waterfall of thoughts about what the hell I will actually do when that moment occurs. I've started applying for job jobs, not just internships, because I have to. Because five months goes by so relatively quick when you don't want it to (and so slowly when you do).
But I'm looking forward to tomorrow. It's the semi-official beginning to the weekend and I have a get together with someone very interesting to me. It involves two concerts and a recently hemmed skirt, and I'm praying that my stitches keep thing together for the whole of the evening. It's exciting to meet new people and even more so to share in the common bond of music and combining of friends.
If I sound trite it's because I'm tired. I apologize. I want to be all deep and philosophical but the truth is I am just preparing for a good nights sleep - thinking about last nights regular barrage of strange dreams and getting ready to brush my teeth. You're okay with that, aren't you? No pearls of wisdom or letters of prose this evening. Just contentment.

Bonne nuit! :)
Glad just to know you're feeling alright about things. One of them will be the one!
p.s. word verification = miner. Do you think it's a hint? Should you apply for mining positions?
just kidding, please don't. :)
Keep on keeping on! I am planning a move back to France late next year and wonder about what kind of job prospects there are for a non-E.U. member... I lived in France for two years, one year as an exchange student at the Fac and another as an English assistant in a lycee...Sigh!!
So annoying that it is so hard to break into the job market there! The French are so fixated on having the "right" degree for jobs! So very inflexible. I feel your pain, mostly because I will probably be in the same position next year.
There is something about France that I just LOVE. A feeling that I have. Or maybe it is just the way I feel about myself. When I lived in Mexico, and now that I am living in Hong Kong, I still long for France. I was supposed to be in North America this summer (I'm a teacher and I have the whole summer off), but I'm trying to finagle a way into spending the greater part of the summer in some subletted apartment in Paris... ;-)
Anyway, I'm rambling!!
Love your blog and look forward to your posts! Keep writing!!
