COMPs, Job Search, and Motivation!

Hey everyone!

I am so disappointed in myself for not posting a blog in FOR-EV-ER! I feel so busy lately, but that is no excuse.

So I have a tough balancing act going on right now and I guarantee a lot of my peers are feeling the same way! Right now I am trying to get started on all of my job search stuff. And then I am trying to get all my schoolwork together to study for my Comprehensive Exam. Crazy balancing act! I feel like I am behind in both things.

I am glad to have such a great COMPs group though. We just need to finish our study guides and start doing lots of studying! I think we are in a great place though and I will find the time to study in between school and work.

The job search is quite exciting so far and I really can't wait to start really applying and getting interviews. I am struggling on where I want to apply though. I am interested in positions all over the country... but do I really want to go to the other side of the country? Can I be THAT far from family? I think I could, but it still scares me. There are quite a few positions though that I am getting excited to apply for! I hope this job search process will continue to be exciting and keep me motivated.

I really cannot wait until Feb 18th has come and gone though - then I can focus solely on the job search. :-)

So now........ I am looking for some suggestions on how to balance these tough tasks! And how to stay motivated! I really need to find ways to focus on this stuff after a long and stressful day of school/work. And I also really need to find ways to de-stress while staying productive! Thoughts??

:-)

Now let's see if I can keep this up with posting new blogs!
