So it has been three weeks since I've been home. No news. I am still unemployed!
When I got home my sister gave me $100+ cash. She also deposited about $600 in my local bank account. She said the money is my allowance until I get back on my feet. I've spent about $20 for miscellaneous expenses, like renewing my driver's license here. The rest of the time, I am a leech. I have dined out multiple times, watched a movie, bought local snacks/items I have missed and paid a total of ZERO dollars. I am starting to feel bad about it. I mean, I feel good to have been blessed with a wonderful, supportive, understanding family; but for crying out loud, I am an attorney! I can't even pay for anything and I have about $5,000 debt! (That's not counting the money my parents gave me while I was unemployed in the U.S.) Anyway...
I am going to the beach for the weekend. After the weekend, I am going to start hustling for a job. It doesn't matter that I have a job offer which I have already accepted. (I received it the day before I left the U.S.) Until I actually start working, I am not going to stop my job search. I feel useless and fat! I have probably gained 10 lbs the past 3 weeks that I've been home!
I will retire this blog once I am employed (outside of the U.S.) If I would be employed in the U.S., then this blog would officially be back in business. :-)
