Chicago Update

Well I did not get the job in Chicago.  On the one hand I am a little disappointed.  I really liked the company and the people that I interviews with.  I think that I would have been a really fun place to work.  On the other hand when I left the interview I was very confident.  And even looking back two weeks later there isn't anything that I wish I would have said or done differently.  I feel that I represented my self and what I believe well and so it is hard to be discouraged.  I know that everyone is trying to be positive by saying that the Lord has something better, and I know that he does, but it isn't really something that I need to be consoled about.  I am excited to see what he has in store and until then I will keep seeking his guidance.

Confession

So confession, I am a blog-aholic.  I love reading blogs and I will check the ones I follow several times a week just to see if they have been updated.  This being said, I must admit that if a post is too long I will not read the whole thing.  I think one of the things I love about blogs it that they are often a quick snap shot of what some one is going through, a quick life update.  When a blog post is long and drawn out this defeats the whole point for me and I stop reading.  There are a couple of blogs that I like to check that do this quite frequently, and although I try to make it through the whole thing, I often find that if I don't see the point towards the beginning I loose interest.  Please don't think less of me but I just wanted to let you know that I am more apt to read your blog if you update more but write fewer words per post.  I hope that no one is offended by this.  I guess I am just part of the journalism statistic that says that the most important information should be at the top.  And that people hate to click and scroll to get to what they are looking for.  Just thought you might want to know.

Some Alone Time

I am a pretty outgoing person.  I like to be around people and I find that I don't need tons of "alone" or "me" time.  As I get older, however, I am finding more value in the quite times.  Times when there isn't 100 things to do, or homework or work pressure to deal with, and everything is just still, in those times I am finding value in taking some time to be by my self and to enjoy the still.  My new favorite things to do for alone time are craft and design blogs, a good pandora music channel, and candles.  After five years of living in a dorm room with a strict policy of no fire hazardous luminaries, I have found a new appreciation for the soft light of candles.  Black and white movies would also be on the list.

So what are some of your favorite relaxing activities?
