August is the cruellest month...

I haven't been writing much lately, mostly because very little has happened. The last several weeks my mental faculties have been completely focused on the job interview five weeks ago, and the fact that I had not yet heard from them. On Wednesday I finally received the less than 30 second phone call which I had so wanted for more than three weeks. "Yes, the position has been filled." I hung up the phone and thought, you couldn't have told me that three weeks ago? Because there were things that I wanted to do during the month of August that involved me being out of the state for a while. Instead, I sat around Orlando and worked, wondering what my future would hold.

So anyway, after the euphoria that was the month of July, I'm now into August and searching my thoughts for some purpose in this summer. And for the first time in my life, I have found myself wishing that I was a student, packing my belongings into my car and driving towards some kind of goal, even if that goal was just to make it through the semester.
