Funny.  I thought college changed me. 
The approaching onslaught of the real-world is causing me to change much faster.

Harsh Realities.
Life Insurance.  When you die, you hope your mother can pay your college debts.
Job.  Sure I will get payed well, but what happens when it sucks the life and soul out of me?
Friends.  They move far away and at the moment I cannot afford to see them all. 
Ghosts.  The unfortunate exposure to painful events beyond my control when I was a child.

Hopeful Promises
Love.  Journey told me someday love will find me.  I believe them.
God.  God takes care of all those little sparrows, so i'm set.
Family.  Every Christmas I get to look forward to Mr. Eugene's yummy candles.
Clean Canvas.  I'm free to decide who I allow to touch my life now.

Yikes!  I didn't realize people would be so interested in lil' ole' me. 
It makes me happy to have a sort of job security and this isn't even for a full-time position.
I hope that I am not leading any companies on... I feel bad handing my resume out to so many people.  I have a genuine interest to work for all of them though.  I just didn't think they would all like me too!  How exciting!

I have an exam in a couple of hours that I haven't studied or slept for.  Agh! 

I know a girl
She puts the color inside of my world
but she's just like a maze
Where all of the walls all continually change

And I've done all I can
To stand on her steps with my heart in my hands
Now I'm starting to see
Maybe it’s got nothing to do with me

Fathers, be good to your daughters
Daughters will love like you do
Girls become lovers who turn into mothers
So mothers, be good to your daughters too

SWE has decided to start actively volunteering at one of the local women's shelters.  Obviously this is a long-term commitment, not just a one day thing.  I'm really excited about it.  My heart absolutely breaks everytime I think about what these women go through.  You'd be surprised how many girls have to rely on these shelters.  Scared.  Alone.  Cold.  No where else to go.
I hope that eventually I can put more of myself into such a cause.  At this point it isn't very do-able to commit as much as I would like, but in the future it will be a top priority.

+ I submitted my resume to five companies and I have an interview with three so far.  I guess i'm doing pretty good, right? 
There is this whole feeling of release whenever you realize that people want you to work for them.  My entire life I have always wanted three things: a stable career, to see the world with a significant other, and a family.  To see one of those life-long goals get accomplished makes me happy.

+ I've been having strange dreams lately.  I could use some praying on my behalf for control over my thoughts.

+ I have decided that the first thing I will buy when I graduate is a kitty.

- I'm supposed to be having a phone interview right now, but they are late.  This certainly does not shed a good light on them.

Update:  For those of you who don't know... Katie cannot handle her Screwdrivers.
