Thank Goodness For Fall TV

[ninj]

I spent the weekend concerned for my job. Then I found out they were hiring yet another group of people. Suddenly I'm not so concerned anymore. I really do want to figure out what I want to do for a career though. Right now this job is good enough and it is a challenge in some ways, but there is something missing. Maybe it's the feeling of being challenged by my peers which for the most part I'm not. They are great and fantastic people most of whom I like, but they're not challenging in the same way other St. Olaf students were. So I'm really trying to focus in on what I want to do next. So far the only realistic option I see is Teach For America because it both affords me a job and would forgive some of my student loans which I feel like I'm going to need.

The other option is to try and take the State Department Foreign Service Test. And to show how that is only a tiny idea that is just starting to filter into existence I say that I'm not even sure if that is what it is called. So these are two ideas I need to play more with while looking into some other options.

Sarah Connor Chronicles and NCIS info under the cut for the disinterested.



Sarah Connor Chronicles was better this week then it was last week. I don't like Riely. I generally try to be a reasonable person, and so I feel like as a reasonable person if my boyfriend was freaking out and careful about how he answered the phone and where he was that I would assume there was a good reason. Granted he hasn't given her anything other then the image of a rebelling teenager.

Speaking of which Cameron should have thrown him back in the water. John may have his moments but most of the time this season I want to shake him. I'm glad Cameron is starting to get stubborn in her own way, and I'm really looking forward to next week. We get to learn more about Cameron which I think is a great idea. In fact it's what I've been waiting for. So that should be exciting. I really miss the voice overs though.

NCIS started back up last night. Good times. Not what I expected on a lot of counts. The team that was given to Gibbs surprised me. It made since later in the episode, but I wasn't sure how they lived that long without Gibbs knowing it was a set up.

They need to get Tony back. I honestly like the entire cast, but it's just not the same without Tony. I'm glad Ziva surivived. I thought she was the dead one at first. NCIS so far has been the exception to the 'Rachel's favorite character dies" rule.

I agree about Riely, and that John is being a twit...but the reason I forgive both of these plot points is that John has to eventually learn to be independent, learn to be his own man and not be babysat all the time by his mom and/or Cameron if he's going to be the future leader of mankind. Part of that entails being somewhat of a prat sometimes, especially when you're a teenager.

I looooooved the chase with John and Cromardie, and now we know terminators can sink! We never knew that even from the movies (speaking of the movies, have you seen them yet?)

I have a friend doing Teach for America, and she says it's a brutally difficult but incredibly education experience.

I agree that John has to learn to not be babysat, but for some odd reason I keep thinking he should do that by being more responsible, not by telling them to fuck off he'll go die if he wants to.

Still haven't seen the Terminator movies yet. I really need to look into like Netflix or something. We're experiencing money problems and I'm starting to get nervous about when school loans start. I still want to though. i just don't want to bad enough to buy them.

I'd hate to end up committed to something I feel is a good program, but end up hating every second of it. Right now that's what I'm afraid of.

if you do teach for america, then we both would be in AmeriCorps, wouldn't that be fantastic? my friend keeps talking about japan, and because of that i'm like NINJ! but then you aren't there and it makes me ubersad. that is all.

I did not realize AmeriCorps and Teach For America were linked. I probably should have.

Japan is amazing. I want to go back. Let me tell you how much that is not going to happen soon.

I was thinking of calling you, but I'm not sure how busy you are and stuff.
