Hodgepodge

It's Friday of my last Spring Break of college. Craziness. I have seven more weeks until I have an undergraduate degree. I'm looking forward to this summer and the coming year. I think I might actually go to graduate school. I've been wavering about my decision, but I'm kinda leaning toward graduate school now. The idea of more classes is not very interesting, but the idea of being paid to teach college students while simultaneously learning cool stuff seems fun to me. I'm insane, I know.


So far I have been accepted to the Universities of Texas, Georgia, and Florida; waitlisted at Illinois, and will find out next week about Washington. I'm pretty much decided I'm going to Florida of Illinois or Washington don't work out. If I get accepted to Illinois (which the graduate director said probably would happen) I'm not sure which I would choose. But Washington would trump all and I'd be going there over any of the five.


I'm also hoping I will hear back from Nintendo and the Localization job that I applied for a month or so ago. I know that most companies are not the most quick at responding, but I really think that would be an amazing job and an amazing opportunity for me.
I spent last night and a lot of today looking around at the job market for someone with my skills. I don't know how in the world people who just graduate out of college get jobs. I have found very few companies that accept recent college graduates, and even fewer who accept those who get a BA in the Humanities. :: sigh :: oh well.
On a much happier note, I am going to visit Seattle in a little over a week. I will get to visit the Pacific Northwest (which I've never done) meet some new friends (again, something new) and see Jamie (which I haven't done in over three years). I'm looking forward to that week and a half very very much. :D
