Shopping and job searching

Hello Everyone,

Right after my little rant on yesterday´s journal entry I went across the street to get my hair trimmed. It is an English salon, and the lady did a nice job on my hair. She was from Finland. She was very talkative too, which was nice.

And I gotta say that my hair looks nicer. I am growing it out as long as possible, and now that the dead ends are off, it looks fuller.

Then I headed to the mall to visit my favorite shop H&M. I got a blouse and a nice skirt for the summer. It was like 70% off. I also got a skirt on sale that will make people wonder why the hell I chose to wear it. All I can say is that it looks very wierd. But I like it, and in this city people can wear whatever the hell they want and no one cares. So I am gonna try and wear something funky for a change. If people here can sport a mullet, I can definitely get away with a funky skirt.

I was supposed to go out today, but I got the cold. So I cancelled. I was gonna visit Montserrat, a beautiful mountainous area here in Catalunya with a monestary. I will try and reschedule.

I am also trying to leave my job. I have to wait until Feb 15th until we know the laws for sure. There is a new law that will make it a lot easier for immigrants to get working papers. Since I have a chance and so far fit the requirements I will give it a shot. I got nothing to lose. If nothing works out, I am on a plane in June anyways.

I also spent hours reading job offers and sending my resume in. My roommate helped me fix my resume in Spanish and posted it to job websites. So now all I have to do is click a button to apply. I must have applied to at least 30 positons.

I hope to God that I find something. But its gonna be difficult since I don´t have working papers. I know that I will be facing lots of rejection. Every American in the same position as me knows that. But at least there is hope and at least I have a chance. Kinda like the lottery, but at least I have a better chance of getting a job than winning the lottery.
