Well, today marks the end of my first two weeks of unemployment. At least, of 2008. I have been unemployed for some length of time every year since college except for 2007. Hmm. I suppose that's not too abnormal.

Anyway, here is a short list of what I have done in these two weeks:

- unpacked my clothing
- cleaned out my room (well. partially) and donated a lot a lot a lot of clothing to charity
- applied for my NJ state teaching certification
- registered for the PRAXIS in March
- bought a study book and begun to study for the PRAXIS
- lost at least 5 pounds (my next weigh-in is Monday)
- spent a shitload of money on groceries (no one said Weight Watchers was cheap! And I'm not even paying for a membership...)
- had 3 job interviews
-got a library card
- filed for unemployment
- unintentionally managed to offset my sleeping schedule so that i can't fall asleep until at least 2:00am
- renewed my driver's license (my picture looks great! ha. i'm vain)
- made my first ever batch of fortune cookies. they are not easy. i may never do it again

Now... the reason I have proclaimed to have ADHD is because I have learned over the years that I have serious attention span issues. I once diagnosed myself online using various tests on various medical websites, all of which said it was HIGHLY likely that I have Adult ADHD. Fantastic. I didn't take all of the tests, though, because they were too long and I didn't feel like finishing.

Anyway - today after I got my new license I went to Barnes and Noble to try to get some studying done for my PRAXIS. I've reviewed the chapters on Language Arts and Math, and now am delving into Social Sciences. Here is how my study session went down:

1. Walk into bookstore
2. Head to cafe
3. Order grande Iced Passion Tea
4. Sit down
5. Open book to Chapter 4: Social Sciences
6. Start reading
7. Start thinking of 8496826354 other things
8. Sip iced tea
9. Narrow down to 16237654 other things
10. Read halfheartedly about geography and the Prehistoric Age
11. Pack up and leave

I'm doomed.
