Job misery
Jobhunting = misery. That's basically a quick summary of the past 2 months. Thank goodness for friends and family to keep me entertained. Turning 30 while being jobless, single and living in a student housing building isn't really something to be proud of I have to say. Next year I hope to be away again in a warmer place when 31 is on the doorstep. It was a good party though!
Spanish classes have started again and we are now into changing verbs into different times and other miserable things. It's hard and not really my type of learning but it has to be done at one point. I'd like to book a few weeks Spanish language school somewhere in 2012, preferably with cooking classes and some diving... but to be able to do that the Job Thing has to be resolved. It's crap at the moment. Probably go and try to get a job at the tax office call centre in January, to keep me occupied for a bit and to be able to support myself. Like I said: misery.
Good things happened as well, I headed to Amsterdam again to meet up with some former colleagues and our bookclub. Thea came over for a weekend and we played lots of games and ate 'oliebollen'. That's the way to do it! In December I had 3 job interviews and got turned down for all of the jobs. Great score ahum. On the bright side I went to see Veldhuis en Kemper with my brother in Franeker which was fun. And finally it is Christmas time, my favourite holiday. Time to go to the farm and spent some days with my parents and brother and just read a lot. Next week I'm flying out to Budapest with Gwendy, Marieke and Judith, awesome! A great way to end a year I'd say :) In 2012 the story and pictures will follow, so for now: A very merry Christmas and an awesome 2012!

I wish you all the best with the job hunt. I can understand how circumstances make it difficult for you to see the light at the end of the tunnel, but there shall be one!
And thirty... well, it's just one year more than 29. No big deal, I would say (from experience).
