Still on the search.

Since I came back to Purchase for the Spring semester I've been on the hunt for a new job. Beginning in September I worked at a restaurant just off campus despite not having a car. Riding a bike had its perks, which were particularly evident on my calves and thighs, but as soon as the snow fell, transportation became a more serious issue. Even more of an issue for me this semester is my overloaded academic schedule and varsity softball - making a job off campus virtually impossible. So, with softball starting in less than a week I'm not left with many options other than to try to find a job on campus. With that I have had even less luck, emailing almost every office on campus with only one being returned. But - after forwarding my schedule, I have yet to hear back again.

Starting the semester jobless isn't exactly the most uplifting experience one can have. But it could be worse. My roommate, a dancer from New Mexico, has it just as hard as I do, however, her tuition increase for the semester severely outweighed mine. Against my $300 state increase, my roomie had to pay an increase of $1,300. I guess now more than ever, attending a state school as an in-state student has its' perks.
