hey everyone!

i'm not sure who still checks this, but i've been meaning to put a post on here to let you all know that i'm on my world tour (currently in Cairo!) and i have another blog for my travels. you can find it at aimeesparks.blogspot.com.

i write EVERY DAY, more or less. i'm about 70 days into my trip, i think? sometimes i post pictures too, and there's a link in there somewhere to my flickr page.

what's up with everyone else? i would love to hear updates!

xoxo,
aimee.

Finding a job. Bleh.

Aimee's post about her difficulties landing her dream job rings very true with me as I'm now searching for a job. I'm in the last stages of finishing my thesis (due Feb 1st--anyone want to go out and celebrate with me that Friday night?) and have been looking and applying for jobs since December. So far no luck. Turns out no one really thinks busting your butt getting an MPH really counts for much. Instead all the job descriptions keep calling for years more work experience than I have. Damn. :-(

Do any of you have any suggestions for tactics to take? Places to look for jobs? You all have been such a great support network during school, it makes sense that we can support eachother now as we all struggle in the real world...

Hope everyone's doing well!
