Now that I've finished grad school I am faced with the task of finding a new job, which is just slightly stressful.I had my first job interview recently for an Instructional Design job and it was... interesting to say the least. I've applied for jobs consistently for the last 6 weeks, probably about 15 jobs total and this was the only one who called back and allowed me to go through all of the steps, and let me tell you friends, there was a lot of steps.

In an attempt to finish grad school early I am diving in and taking two classes this summer and my vacation from school is quickly winding down and slipping away.This past semester at school was interesting.
