Summa Cum Grad, but No Job to be Had

Forgive me, blogoshphere, I have sinned; it has been three months since my last confessions—or blog entry—whichever you prefer.

What a hellacious semester. I am not sure what the problem was, but I can tell you that I felt very embarrassed about the way some of my papers and/or other academic postings were handled. Although, because of the nature of my university (and my OCD), I was able to soldier on and succeed. However, I can't say I felt I was at my best this last semester. I guess the important thing is that I did graduate, and summa cum laude at that, 4.0 intact. However, I fear that despite my strong academic background, I will be unemployed for quite some time due to the miserable U.S. economy.

I'm trying to find the brightside. Guess things could be worse. I could be a citizen of Greece—apparently they are in a economic free fall and are all subject to mandated austerity measures. I suppose that even once grand civilizations are no immune to societal degradation., O! Ye United States of Excess! Take a lesson from the Romans and Greeks.

Well, there's a lot I could write about this first blog back, but I think I'll keep this one simple. Just a howdy from the orchard. I'll have plenty of time on my hands for the foreseeable future to write about everything.
