Nation's Economy Fails to Hire Me

After going to several local venus and hearing nothing but, "come back in, like, September cause then all the college kids will be gone by that time," I came to two conclusions. 1) I apparently look 15 years old if these crusty girls don't realize that I am a college student and 2) I will most likely not get a job this summer.

Not shockingly, these conclusions have resulted in the creation of my Summer Plan! which is what I will be doing this summer so that I may make money at a future time.

Plan 1: Bike riding and exercise! I have been riding my bike around the state parks here for about an hour each time I go - which I promise myself will be more frequently. This leisurely outdoor activity, coupled with the hours of training I put in each week at karate will (hopefully) result in what I like to call a 'rockin' bod.' 

How will this make me money? With a great body and a face as naturally gorgeous and shaped as mine is, I will be in high demand as a high class escort. Are you a filthy rich old woman who is actually filthy? Can't find a date to that Gala? Take me. Show me off to your friends! Not only will I lift my shirt to reveal where a six-pack may one day end up, but I can hold a great conversation.

Plan 2: Write. Not just this blog. I'll work on some short story ideas to plan out and revise. I may even try and crank out that novel that all writers work on their whole lives and never get published (I said that these plans may make me money).

Plan 3: This is the most practical and, therefore, the one that will disinterest you most. I will help a professor do research on 19th Century amateur theatre! This one is definite and I start this Tuesday. 

How will this one make me money? It's a nice resume filler, and I'm getting three credits for it. It can't hurt for prospective employers to see that I help a professor in the NYPL go through microfiche and do research from home and a bit of translation work. This one is money for the long run.

So fuck you Nation's economy - I'm going to hire myself!
