Rebecca already wants to go back to France.

Well, I began job-hunting in earnest today, and it's already hard not to get depressed. I can only hope that the Willstaff here can do more than the Willstaff in Baton Rouge, which was a waste of time if I ever saw one. I'm just frustrated to learn that apparently I have to start paying bills now, rather waiting until I get a job. It's even more frustrating because I'm certain that all my siblings have gotten this grace period (considering that Brother #1 spent over a year doing nothing – not working, going studying, or paying bills – after he graduated from high school, and Brother #2 is almost 21 and still in high school). I'm beginning to think they must be smarter than they look and act, since they apparently figured out that life is easier if you keep everyone's expectations low.

Okay, Rebecca is just whining because it's late and she's tired, so she's going to bed now. Tomorrow she'll turn in some more resumes, and hopefully things will look better, the way they sometimes do the next day. Cut to Aileen Quinn: "Bet yer bottom dollar that tomorrow they’ll be sun!" (Heh, the song isn't even really playing, and Sara isn't even here, but I can still see her rolling her eyes!) I ended up giving my DVD of that movie to Chinese Sarah before I left France, because she enjoyed it so much. I got an e-mail from her earlier today, which was awesome.

Oh yeah, and recently, for no reason whatsoever, I learned to recite all 43 American presidents in chronological order. So now I go around saying, "Washington Adams Jefferson Madison Monroe Adams Jackson Van Buren, etc." (and I could go on!) whenever I get bored.

What kind of job are you looking for? Oh and I know all about being expected to do better than your siblings and not being given extra leeway. Adam is still in high school??? Whats going on with that?

Adam made a half-assed attempt at attending St. Louis in 2002, his own idiocy got him kicked out after a few months, then he started taking homeschool courses so he could work "at his own pace," which means he'll still be in high school at age 21. Don't I sound bitchy? But as Sarah would say, "Is not my fault! Is true!" Right now I'm looking for a clerical job because I really don't know what I want to do, which is a problem. That and not being qualified for anything.

Can't you teach french? I'm sure you could get a job teaching seeing as you managed to do so in France already.

Never had much luck with staffing companies. Are you considering teaching stateside? I advise highly against it, but I'm terribly biased!

Actually, one thing I learned from teaching in France is that teaching isn't something I really want to do.
