My American Dream


Hmm...I'm not so good at keeping this very updated. Probably because my life is boring and monotonous.

Well it's July. I hope everyone had a nice 4th. I had a good one. I had my annual family picnic where I was once again harassed about getting dates. My grandma will not let up about me getting a damn tennis racket! And then the uncles start in about learning golf...I mean how do I tell them all I need to meet guys is some rum!! I hate the pressure they put on me because I'm totally fine being single. There is so much I want to do and I'm only 23...ufft.

I totally fucked up my job interview for my dream job. Yeah, I fail at life. It seriously would have been perfect but I hate talking on the phone and since they are in Chicago it was a phone interview and it sucked. I sometimes have a hard time speaking and making clear my ideas...which um, is stupid since I got my degree in COMMUNICATIONS!! I'm a communications person who can't communicate! AWESOME! UGGHH!

I have applied for some other jobs in Chicago and a couple here in Minneapolis. But I don't know...I feel like if I end up here I'll never get out. And Minneapolis is nice and all but I never imagined myself staying in Minnesota my whole life. I have lame dreams of living and working in Chicago and then meeting a man and we'll get married and live in the city for awhile but then when we want to have kids we'll move out to the suburbs and I'll end up being a stay at home mom and we'll live happily ever after. And yes, I am aware that my dream sets the women's movement back about 50 years.

I just don't feel like I should move to Chicago without having a job lined up...but I also actually don't want to live and work here in Minneapolis.

Maybe I should just go back to college.
