Well, the phone call came in. No job, folks. They decided to hire a math/physics guy instead. Somehow I had the feeling that double major option would come back to haunt me someday. :P I was very much hoping for that position, so I'm taking some time to adjust and figure out what to do next. At this point, there are no postings open (save the ones at Kalamazoo that have been up for a few months now). Thus, my holding pattern at this point is more than likely to see little to no action. If there are no jobs, there are no applications. No applications means no interviews... and you get the point. It's frustrating.
I'll tell you one thing, God is doing a marvelous job teaching me patience and trust. I just wish I could be a better student at times.
And so the search continues...
On another note:
If nothing else, tonight I realized how little I understood friends who were in this circumstance before me- how internally insensitive I was at times- simply because there was really no true way I could appreciate their struggle. Saying "It's OK, something will come along" is much easier when you still have a few years of college ahead of you. Believing it at this stage takes just a little more faith. So to those who have gone before me, I think I'm just beginning to understand the hardship you survived of not having a job post-graduation. I'm sorry I couldn't understand until now, but thank you tremendously for your unending patience with me. :)
