I wanted to document this important phase in my life. I'm currently an Urban Planning graduate student at UCLA (go Bruins!) with only 5 months to go until graduation date. Post grad school, I want to venture into the burgeoning world of sustainable building in densely populated urban environments like Los Angeles, San Francisco and the mecca of all, New York. In 2008, at the start of my graduate school career and the economic decline, I was patting myself on the back for deciding to go back into school. I figured that by my graduation date in June 2010, the economy, more specifically, the real estate development market would be back to 2007 standards. I thought two years would be more than enough of a time cushion. Well, my optimistic predictions were off, WAY off.
This brings me to the current day with about 5 months to find a job with a decent salary, in a field that's shrinking like a wet sponge hung to dry. This blog will help me track my progress in job searching and keep me accountable as well. Along the way, I'll probably go down some side paths and talk about my other interests in life such as friends, food, photography, shoes and architecture. All I need now is a good cup of strong tea and some food to start off my day...at 1:30pm. I hope this isn't a bad start!
1:30pm to start off your day!! glad your drinking tea and not coffee :)
