Silent Storms

Whoops, has it been THAT long? Where has the time gone?

Study­ing and work
I grad­u­ated from law school in August 2011. I spent a lot of time try­ing to find a job. In the cur­rent econ­omy, I wasn’t able to find the job I had been work­ing towards with my degree. I did find a job at a law firm that is in the right field, but the job itself is nowhere near the level of my degree. When I signed the con­tract, every­one thought it would be pos­si­ble for me to get a job on the right level later on. Just a few months in, it doesn’t look like that’s going to hap­pen any­time soon.

Look­ing around for jobs again, there’s still noth­ing to be found. There are some jobs in related fields, but I would need to take some extra courses and even then there’s only a few jobs to be found and a lot of peo­ple apply­ing. Then I started think­ing, is this even really what I like to do?

I could take extra courses to pos­si­bly get a job that I’m not imme­di­ately excited about, and even if I was able to get the job I have been work­ing towards with my degree, I started doubt­ing I would want to do that for the rest of my life.

So what then, would I really like to do? Enrolling in a new study, it’s just not finan­cially pos­si­ble for me. Or so I thought. I’ve found a long-distance learn­ing pro­gram on Com­mu­ni­ca­tion and Mul­ti­me­dia Design and have decided that’s what I want to do.
About one and a half year ago, I thought I wouldn’t like design­ing for oth­ers on a reg­u­lar basis, but really, I love design & cod­ing and would absolutely love to be able to learn more about it, do it on a daily basis and get paid for it!

Blog­ging
It’s been way over a year since I last posted any­thing here. I have done some work on TCG Man­ager, but it’s been on the back­burner a while. I do plan to pick it up again and hope­fully release it with its new fea­tures — updates log and card man­ager — within the next few months. Well, really, I hope to release it sooner, but I know I’ve said that before and can’t promise a release date just yet.

Two weeks ago, I also started a new blog to share my expe­ri­ences with eat­ing dis­or­ders, body image, per­sonal fash­ion and food. Through shar­ing my expe­ri­ences, I hope to be able to help other women to feel great about them­selves. It can be found at TooMuchCandy.org.

That’s what I’ve been up to dur­ing this time. So, hi again?
