Yes, we're still alive

Judging from the tone of my last post, you might have thought that I had quit school/jumped off the top of the SWKT (the tallest building in Provo, on BYU campus, by the way). But no! Against all odds, I did in fact graduate from BYU on August 14th. Wonder of wonders, miracle of miracles.

Now, the job hunt is on. And when they say that we're in the worst recession since the Great Depression, as far as employment is concerned, they're not kidding. I apply for 5-6 jobs a day, and have applied for at least 100 positions; I've had four interviews in two months. It's rough. It's also rough because I have a BA in Humanities (I love typing that!), and not many people know exactly what a Humanities degree entails. But, by the grace of God, I had two interviews today, and got a call today from one of the companies to come in for a second interview! So I now have a follow-up interview on Wednesday as well as another interview that day.

David started school at SLCC this past week. He's really enjoying that, because it means that he doesn't have to work as much, poor boy. He's taking U.S. Government and Politics, German, Humanities (guess who signed him up for that one), and Scuba Diving. I didn't realize the effect that two years of Provo in an academic environment and not in school would have on him. He called me after his first day at school to tell me in a much-too-excited voice that he was doing homework. The thought of being thrilled to do homework so soon after graduating makes me kind of sick to my stomach. But David's really motivated to do well in school, and more power to him.

Well, there you go. We're both alive and well, looking for employment and enjoying school, respectively.
