The Unsurprising and Inevitable Conclusion

[unforth]

I didn't get into NBSS.

I'm both more and less upset about this than I thought I'd be.

Ah well, next year!

Now, to the job hunting!!

I'm disappointed for you. I thought they would take you. But I must admit I am happy for me that you may be here another year. :)

Well, it's a mixed bag - it means I'll either be leaving Bloomington much sooner than expected, as I start job hunting immediately and will move to a position that I find as soon as I find it - or it means that I'll be in Bloomington another year, because if I don't find a job by September 1st, I'll stay here until next summer. The reason for this is simple: I'll reapply to NBSS next spring, and if I get in then (which is much more likely, since I'll have another year of experience under my belt, and I intend to spend a fair amount of time in that year taking workshops and such to get better) then I'll be starting on September 1st of 2008, and I won't take a job where I'll be for less than a year. Makes sense. But if I get a job that starts, say, the beginning of June, I'll be gone by then.

I'm a little frightened by this. :)

Yeah, it's a lot! One day at a time and allow yourself the freak out. :)

Awwww. *hugs* Good luck with the job hunting! I'll be happy to keep an eye out for anything for you....

Thanks. :) I'm in the market for entry level conservation, rare books and archives positions. That's about all I'm qualified for.

Good luck on the job hunting. Sorry about the news.

If you find anything in the DC area, you've got a place to crash for free while doing interviews. :)

So far I've been astonished by the lack of positions in D.C. ...I'll make a quick post with an overview of the locations of the jobs I'm most interested in soon. :)

Sorry. :-/

Well, at least there's a good chance we'll be keeping you for another year. Yay!

I'd like to stay...we'll see how the job hunt goes. I just finished a first draft of my resume...I haven't worked on a resume in such a long time...sigh... :)

*huggles* All else fails, you can come work with us :)

I don't think I'm cut throat enough to work in stocks and such. :) Also, I hated economics...weirdo...;)
