Not only did none of the Monster/Hotjobs/automated website ones turn into anything, no one contacted me to say so--just drifted into the ether. Calli, I'm sad you got turned down, but I'm glad they told you.
That was my experience before, too, so I'm pleasantly surprised to have an answer, even if it's not the one I wanted.
I found out another resume made it past the first screening, which is nice. I should be looking for more openings, but my post-college BFF is visiting tonight, so I think I'll take a break. I did put everything into a nice spreadsheet.
Also - Go Graduate!
It wasn't easy!
His first semester this year he pulled down a 3.3 GPA and was looking good. Then after his college applications went out, he went on a serious senior slide, and got hauled up on academic probation as his GPA slid to 1.3.
But he pulled it together to finish at an umimpressive yet entirely passing 2.6 GPA and he's out the door and on to the next adventure.
It's been a stressful year. He broke out in hives for six weeks. But we had really good talk in the car this morning: sweet, thoughtful, reflective, present.
Oh man, David. I remember that period well. Hard to believe you're on the other side of it now. (And a few other minor changes in the interim.)
sweet, thoughtful, reflective, present.
Allergies.
Darth Tigger is graduating? That's...unpossible! And yet EXCELLENT. Go Emmett!
Holy cow! Congrats to Emmett and them that raised him!!
No question that going through high school sucks more as a parent than as the student. I would go through it multiple times myself rather than try and drag the boys through it again.
Is he excited about college? What kind of a program is he entering? (forgive me if I should know this, mind like sieve you know)
Congratulations to Emmet and his family!
Wow, I am really not ready for Emmett to be a college student!
Wow.
I cannot believe it!
But Woo hoo and congratulations to Emmett!
