Job update?

So I've spent countless hours applying for countless jobs the past few weeks with little to no success. I had gotten one call back - a professor at Columbia University. Unfortunately, I knew after he called that I wasn't going to be hearing from him again. He wanted someone with experience working with mice colonies... too bad we didn't use mice in Animal Behavior.

After weeks of not hearing back, I decided to get some help. I spent four hours (!!) at a temp agency interviewing and giving them information so they can find a job for me. So far, they offered me a position as an administrative assistant at a ceiling subcontractor's office and one as a medical researcher. Guess which one I was interested in?

We'll see what happens with that, but in other news David and I put a deposit on an apartment. The neighborhood is incredibly nice as is the apartment itself. I wish we could go ahead and move in now, but we still have to be approved first. I guess I can wait a few weeks.

One of David's friends actually lives in the same building, which is really nice. He seems really fun and showed us around the area. He also said there may be an opening where he works - I'm actually really excited about possibly taking that job. We'll see what happens. It would be great, though, especially since then the temp agency wouldn't be taking part of my pay for the first sixty-five days of employment.
