What! (random post)

Okay, since like only about three people (including myself) read this blog, I'm just going to write. It's more for my benefit anyway (kind of like the journal I don't keep).
So, I am in that awful transition phase: college student to real world (which also includes the awful moving from a student ward to either a family ward, or a singles ward). I'm beginning to see why people stay in school as long as possible. Finding a job sucks rocks. I know that something is bound to come along, but I feel like I don't have any skills. "You know, nun-chuck skills, bow hunting skills, computer hacking skills. [Employers] only want [people] who have skills!" I guess that I could pour coffee for a living. It's like Mr. Fancy Coffee Shop Coffee Pourer: "What do you do with a Master's degree in art history? You get a nose ring and pour coffee for a living." "Pour it on now!" It's a jungle out there. So anyway, I just wanted to vent for a second and now I'm done--no more complaining. "Is this you not [complaining], 'cause you suck at it."

However, being unemployed has at least one benefit. I have had a lot of time to read some books and being the history geek that I am, I read books that my professors would have assigned us to read. Take for instance, right now: I am reading His Excellency, George Washington by Joseph Ellis. So far it is really good and I am learning so much about our first beloved president. Very interesting. I read Founding Brothers by the same author and it was awesome. I just finished Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom and loved it. I normally don't cry (ever) but this one got to me just enough to make my eyes well up (there were no actual tears, but it was close).

So, I guess that while I have the time, I will continue reading and running. The training for the Wasatch Back is coming along. It will be fun to run it in June! Over and out!
