So I got absolutely no sleep last night because of an email from a perspective employer.  I’m really frustrated and stressed by the job search because I tried to plan things so I could lay out all of the cards and compare everything; I wanted to choose the best position for both Heather and my future, looking at the environment, salary…everything.  I don’t know if that’s asking too much, but I suppose I’ll find out in time.

I needed the sleep [I didn't get] last night as I had a quiz this morning in my Animation course.  Thankfully, I woke up in time and had spent plenty of time studying for it (we did not have to derive the Lagrangian equation for a physical scenario, as I thought we would — this made the exam about half as difficult) and things worked out.  I feel like utter hell physically, but I’m not mentally fatigued as I have a lot of opportunities ahead of me and things are going well over all.  I just need to get through one last group meeting today and I’ll be free to sleep or at least lay down.

I’m hoping that at every company I’m not able to work for, I have made friends and contacts who I could speak to in the future as I think that networking is part of the beauty of the search for the elusive career-starting position.  I’d love to work for all of them, really, but that isn’t possible and in the end I have to look at what’s best for my family.
