: Gettin' Things Done
Considering the amount of downtime one gets in the summer when working in Sports Information, I've been able to get a lot of other things done -- specifically, applying for jobs and looking into the possibility of grad school.
Thus far, I've applied for four jobs, all more or less related to my background. I put in an application for the station manager position for WHOV, and I've also sent out resumes to The Huffington Post (Internet "newspaper"), VirginiaPreps (high school sports website) and The Associated Press (shot in the dark, but hey ... you never know). I'll be applying for a few more in the coming weeks.
I've also begun looking into potential grad schools. So far, I've found four possible schools (all in Virginia ... staying in-state to keep costs down if at all possible) with programs that might be to my liking -- assuming my suck-ass undergrad GPA doesn't get me laughed out of the application process.
So slowly but surely, I'm getting the wheels turning. If nothing else, it keeps me busy and productive -- and I often feel better about myself when I'm actually able to get things done. Inertia and the status quo do nothing for my psyche.
Oh, I might be going on a bit of a vacation next week. If my leave gets approved, I'll be heading up next Tuesday to visit the grandparents. It'll be the first time in forever we've seen them in the summertime ... I can't wait to swim in their pool again.
