Humane Society, Homework and a Temp Job

Today, my boyfriend and I went to the Humane Society to look at kittens. We have Milo, but I want him to have a friend. I feel bad when we leave him all by himself. I know he is "just" a cat, but I love him! (Everyone that meets him does!)
There are lots of great cats where we went, a few of my favorites are Freedo, Charlie, Finnigan, and Yuma. But, we want a young male kitten who gets along with other cats, and none of them quite fit that description...
Anywho...the perfect kitten was there: male, still little, long golden hair, cute as could be...but someone else adopted him before we got a chance to look at him :( We left at the same time as the people who did adopt him and we wanted to follow them and steal the cat, but we didn't. The perfect kitten for us will come along when the time is right. Now may not be the best time since my online summer class through UWM just started and...
I start at a temp job tomorrow! Last week, after receiving the bad news that I did not get the job I was hoping for, I went around to some of the staffing agencies in my area and a couple days later, Manpower called me with a job! It will only last 2-3 weeks, but its full time and pays decent, so I'm happy! Plus, it is data entry, which isn't the most exciting thing, but it is good experience for other office jobs I may apply for in the future.

When did I become an adult??

I am in my mid twenties and I don't remember how I got here.

I do adult things every day, but I don't see myself as an adult.

I still can't believe I am a college graduate. The fact that I am now working on a Master's degree really blows my mind. Until about a year ago, I had never even thought seriously about pursuing an education beyond college. Yet I am a year into my Master's courses and plenty in debt.

There is some quote about things seeming to stay the same as day to day, but when you look back, you notice that a lot has changed. That obviously isn't a direct quote, but you get the idea. I notice this quote is incredibly true when I look back over my past year. A year ago, I was living at home with my parents in my dinky hometown, searching for a job and a boyfriend. Neither of those things were easy to acquire unless I settled for a lot less than I cared to. Now, I am in a rather different position in my life. I have recently moved in with my boyfriend of nearly a year and I gained a school year's worth of experience as a librarian in a two year college.

Unfortunately, one thing is the same as it was a year ago....I am once again unemployed. My librarian position was only temporary and I am once again job seeking. However, I am much more hopeful than I was a year ago. For one thing, I have moved to a big city with many more job opportunities. I was also able to add some great experience and references to my resume from my temporary position. So...hopefully things will start happening once again!

Until then, when I'm not helping my boyfriend with his business selling toys online through his website (I know, he is a total dork), I will have plenty of time to ramble on about random thoughts and wonderments for anyone who cares to read. I realize this is probably no one. Maybe I'll read them myself later...
