Practically imperfect in every way. Start with a lot of silliness. Mix in some insecurities and a handful of awkwardness. Add a pound of naivety, innocence, and child-like wonderings. Blend well. Half-bake and top off with a sprinkle of imagination and dollop of dreams. It’s the recipe for me!

"I personally believe that U.S. Americans are unable to do so because, uh, some people out there in our nation don't have maps. And I believe that our education like, such as South Africa, and, the Iraq, everywhere like such as. And I believe that they should, our education over here in the U.S. should help the U.S., or should help South Africa, and should help the Iraq and the Asian countries, so we will be able to build up our future for our children."

Knowing I would graduate in December, my plan was to start looking for a job in October. I don’t expect a job in my field, so I was pretty much resigned to getting a job as an administrative assistant or receptionist or something. I don’t want a career. I want a job.
Then I started looking. Finding administrative assistant positions was easy. I even found a few that were resume-worthy. I wasn’t finished writing my resume, but I figured I’d get to it eventually. But honestly? I was in no big hurry.
And then I saw The Job. I wasn’t looking for The Job. And like I said before, I didn’t want a Job, just a job. I spent the next few days making my resume as close to perfect as I could. That is, perfect formatting, perfect choice of words… uh, somewhat lacking on the content though. I sent the cover letter and resume, and now I wait. And wait. And. Wait. I’m trying to stay grounded about this job, but I REALLY WANT IT. If I don’t get an interview, well, I guess I can send my resume to those other jobs.
If I put all my eggs in one basket, it’ll make it so much easier for me to count my chickens before they hatch.
I’ve got my fingers crossed for you!
It’s the spark of an idea that hits me unexpectedly. It’s the silly wonderings I have after a whirlwind of thoughts. It’s about creativity, inspiration, and imagination. But sometimes, it’s just about eating noodles.
