On the job hunt again...

So the bad news I got when I was at the Great Escape was that I didn't get the job at Francesca's. Kind of a bummer since I thought I was going to get it, but I didn't let it get me down. So I kept on moving and went to stores on the Saturday I got back and went on a job hunt.

All of a sudden another light on the end of the tunnel. I instantly got asked to come in to be interviewed. I was happy. Since it was at the store Motherhood Maternity I definitely thought I had a shot.
Well today was my interview. It went well. She just asked me a series of questions and I answered them. Then she told me what the job consisted of. AND that my friends was bad news. There is a store down in Petersburg that is in a Sears and everybody at the Short Pump location alternates to work down there. Petersburg is like 45 mins. from me on a good day. So I probably have to turn down this job if I'm lucky enough to get it. The second bad thing is, is that they aren't flexible with my soon to be school hours. This will bring me to my second rant......

If companies KNOW that they are going to hire college/ high school students, WHY IN THE WOOORLD ARE THEY NOT FLEXIBLE WITH THEIR HOURS?? That's what I want to know. This reason makes me PRAY that I get a job at my school. I applied for a lot of positions there. I'm just hoping that I get called back. I know my school will be flexible since I'm a student there. If I don't get a school job let's hope that I hear back from some other company that I applied to.

Another little note, I can see why people get so depressed and unwilling to go out to find a job. It's so depressing to keep on getting rejected one after the other. It just gets emotionally exhausting and soon as you know it you start saying, "What's the point of applying? I'm just going to get rejected. Or just not hear back from a place that I've contacted and called about my application." I'm trying not to get to that point. I'm trying to keep an open mind and stay positive, but it's hard....REALLY hard. I see everyone getting jobs but me. I can't help to think, "What the heck is wrong with me?"

The Great Escape

So if you have read from the previous posts, I went on a two week vacation. Though the second week was me chaperoning a bunch of middle schoolers at a camp. The First week I went to the beach with my boyfriend and family. It was amazing. The beach was beautiful and clear, and the moon on the water was absolutely phenomenal. It was nice relaxing before going to see a bunch of middle schoolers.

Finally, the week has come. Time to go to the camp Great Escape. I have to say, I didn't like the first night in the dorms where we were staying. Stupid boys and air horns. Anyway, there was wonderful speakers. Ben Glen was my favorite (look him up).

 The best part was seeing my girls have so much fun and seeing 5 of the 9 come to Christ. I'm so proud of them and so happy for them.

After a fun filled week of shaving cream wars, water fun, and hanging by a beautiful river, it was time to go home. As we were driving through the mountains during sunrise, I was checking out the beautiful sky line. All of a sudden I spot a hot air balloon. That may seem pretty cool to see, but to me it meant so much more. Ever since I got baptised in the 7th grade I started seeing hot air balloons at every significant event of my life. I saw one at graduation of high school, during my grandma's funeral, and now this. This week has been one of the most life changing weeks ever. Once I saw it, I started to cry. Just when you think God has shown you the most amazing week ever he tops it with showing me with showing the hot air balloon. For some reason I see hot air balloons as a symbol of my faith, because the balloon seems to show up when I have a good significant even and a bad one.  I know it sounds funny, but I really think God is showing me that he's there and supporting me through the appearance of this balloon or all the other balloons.
This was such an enlightening week and I will NOT forget it.
