A very crazy few weeks

One would hope that I add something to the world- be it good, bad, or indifferent- Me

Let's see what happened:

ComicCon: I went down to San Diego with about 5 other people, and it was an amazing weekend. IT started off a little terribly, with an accident on the 5 by Camp Pendleton. Basically it took us 2 hours to go 7 miles.
Look it up on video here or in words here. Really, neither of these articles help explain the 2 hour backup. The boys got out of the car and WALKED faster. But eventually we made it to ComicCon. The hotel was great, the Hyatt by the Convention Center, and the activities rocked. I got to meet Jamie and Adam from Mythbusters! WoHOO! We watched tons of previews, including Terminator, Disney, Watchmen, the Spirit and a few others. Lots of floor time, and lots of purchases. We even made time for seaport village and dinner

JOB INTERVIEWS: I had one in San Diego, which went well. It was for a Managing Director job, which was really exciting. Then I've had two others, one with a symphony and one with a reunions program at a private university. They have all gone well, but I'm anxious about second interviews, and the lack of 'call backs'.

FAMILY: My sister is at home working on wedding things. I've seen like 8 photographers, 2 DJ's and so far 2 dress stores. There's no time for breathing, let alone anything else!

Interviews Ahoy!

One would hope that I add something to the world- be it good, bad, or indifferent- Me

I've had two interviews so far. I think they both went well, especially since one was in person and one was a phone interview. It's funny to try to comprehend the job responses I've been getting, who has called me back and who hasn't...

I won't go into details about the interviews here, if you want to know you can call me, but needless to say one job might be a little above me, and one might be a little below me. We'll have to see where it all lands.

I've been inundated by engagement announcements. People I thought might never get married, let alone get married before me, are totally engaged. I know that's ridiculous, to think that I should be married first, but it's true. I'm happy for them, but I can't help wondering what's up with me...

My parents didn't meet, let alone get married, until after they were both 30. I know that's totally reasonable and okay, but I always thought it would be different for me. I always thought that I would be making that transition sooner...

I used to think that I just wanted to be a stay at home mom, but I realize that I love working. I'm a hard worker, and I'm good at the jobs I do. I don't want to have kids tomorrow, but I want to have the opportunity to be with my husband, to make a life with him before we add kids to the mix.

I guess I'm just feeling a little frustrated by 'life planning'.

I know, man plans and G-d laughs. But I always thought that woman was supposed to...

Home, trying to adjust

One would hope that I add something to the world- be it good, bad, or indifferent- Me

This has been one of the hardest adjustments I've ever had. My body clock just can't seem to settle itself... i haven't slept through the night since I've been home. (except the one time I slept the entire day...)

I have my first job interview Tuesday. With SCR... I'm really excited. If anyone has heard of a job that I might be good at, please pass it along.

The trip was fabulous. I had a truly amazing time. I learned a lot about myself, being in a crazy undeveloped nation. I learned about how I interact with others, which went surprisingly well... I learned more about food and culture and how Americans are perceived, also what happened in Vietnam, from the Vietnamese perspective.

I had an amazing adventure, it felt like a really long time. I loved Cambodia, the people are so friendly. Even though I know they are poorer than Vietnam, they all seem so much more friendly and personable.

I learned that I can handle it. Being in a foreign country, and that I can really have a good time.
