Dateline 4-26-2016

I can't think of much to say right now. Yesterday was pretty uneventful. I've been continuing to plug away at the web development course that I back burnered when I started my job hunt. I'm waiting to see if I can land the latest job I applied for so I decided to move the course back to the front burner until I find out.

Though the job hunt has left me feeling a bit hopeless, I feel a lot more optimistic when taking courses geared toward what I actually want to do. Now that my focus is shifted back to education I'm having fun fantasizing about the future even though it still seems like that I'm way off from making a living on my own. 

Oh well, I should be able to finish my course by the end of the day. I have one last section to complete and it's kind of equivalent to the cool down portion of a work out. This section is building simple mobile apps using all the techniques I've already been taught so it's more of a recap than anything new.

I'm going to spend the rest of this week focused on nothing but learning. I've been down in the dumps too long over my poor success rate in finding a job that I don't even want so I need to give my spirits a lift before returning to the grind.

Next week I plan to visit the local career center to see if a counselor can help point me in the right direction. I have skills, and I can work but I need help navigating this current job market of crazy job titles and unreasonable expectations (ie entry level = a Bachelors Degree and at least two years experience.)

Oh well, we'll see what happens and I'll fill you in tomorrow.

Talk to you then,
