April Showers

April showers supposedly bring May flowers.
Unless your April showers happen to be snow showers. I haven't even looked at our weather forecast lately, but the last time I did look? We had flurries soon.

We shall move on from that conversation, as it just raises my blood pressure.

I'm here to tell you to go see Jane Eyre. I first read it over Thanksgiving(ish). (I don't know the exact time, but I know I twittered about it, so you can scroll back and investigate)
I adored the book. I thought Jane was so strong and interesting and thoughtful. There is such a gothic feel to the whole thing, which is so beautiful. And this is saying something, because I've read other gothic-esque novels and I super didn't like them at all. Mr. Rochester was a cranky shit that you loved.
Needless to say, I loved it.

And then they made a movie about it. It is equally as beautiful. The scenery is huge in scope, as Jane wanders around the moors and whatnot. The look of Thornfield Hall is positively amazing. Jane is plain, yet pretty. Mr. Rochester is striking.
There is a scene between the two of them after a fire is set in Mr. Rochester's room.
It. Is. Hot.

So basically, this is me, telling you to go see it.

(sidenote-the rest of my life is normal, i go to school a lot and it will be a shitload of work for the last two weeks. please god save me now)

So. Things.

Since the last time I was here, things have changed considerably.
I went to Washington DC with a friend for a job fair which should have convinced me to move.

It didn't.

I continued to work at the coffee shop, get rejected from various grad programs (all of which were super expensive AND super exclusive) and then. And then.

Well, two "and then's".

First off, I turned 24 years old. I'm SO ANCIENT LOLZ. But still. Another birthday.

AND THEN. (this gets capital letters)

I GOT FIRED. F I R E D FIRED.

Since then I've been looking for employment, running errands for my mom a la a personal assistant and...stuff? I don't even know.

But I'll blog here more. Promise. ;)

srsly?

So I just applied at Kohl's (a store that I'm actually very fond of) and their silly computer just flat out rejected me for "not fitting the criteria" that they're looking for.
How frustrating is that. Getting rejected before a human being even looks at your application. An excellent self-esteem killer.

In other news, I'm getting rejected from grad schools left and right. Yet another thing that makes me want to run into oncoming traffic.

I know things will look up. But right now this second, all my rage is in my jaw and it makes me grind my teeth.
