The woes of job searching

Ah...to be graduating soon. How very exciting, everyone longs for that day.
Except for me...Graduating means leaving this stupid town (not such a bad thing) and moving somewhere else, out in the real world of no school and real jobs. JOBS?! Well that creates a predicament. What job to have, where to have? So I have been emailing out resumes and cover letters to all the different Equine Vets in Oregon, hoping to find a Equine Vet Assistant job. Anywhere. I don't even care where. And I have had one place contact me back with interest, which raises my hopes a lot. Of course though, that is the one place where Casey does not want to move. Gah. So where else to go? I have emailed craigslist ads for horse jobs, and I feel like every day I am wandering more craigslist ads and equine job sites, hopelessly looking for a compromise for Casey and I. It feels rather sad and hopeless, I can't lie. It is hard for me to remain optimistic. But I really want to find a vet assistant job- I just loved every second of helping out at Ridgefield Equine when I volunteered there over the summer. So next on the list is seeing if there is a job available back there....which wasn't my first email sent out, strangely enough. I just want to get out of the rain, and that is smack dab in rain central. Oh, in a perfect world I could pick up that clinic and put it in Bend, or something like that. Sigh. I still have two-ish months until I have to really panic, but I am so good at worrying, so I just started now instead. I must cross my fingers and pray to God that a wonderful job in an awesome place pops its head up. Wish me luck!
