selling myself

I'm beginning to truly hate the job hunt. I've applied for 5 now (only one "no" thus far) and am already sick of attempting to sell myself. I already struggle with overanalyzing everything in life and this compounds the problem. I want a job. I want to be humble. I don't want to overthink things, yet it seems I have to do those last two things in order to get the first. It's frustrating.

I just interviewed with Teach For America. It went alright I suppose. And now I'm overanalyzing this. I just choose to continue trusting that if I do my best, something will work out. I have to and it will.

super bowl predictions

I've hardly done this in my life. I only remember winning once. As a 6th grader, my dad (also my teacher) put a candy bar up for grabs to see who'd be the closest in terms of victory and score. I picked the Broncos and won. Huzzah! I've won fantasy football leagues, and the Sittner Hall Pick 'em my freshman year. Oh, and last week I earned a ticket to the Worm Ranch from Jeff Gilbert by picking the Steelers over the Jets... but now we'll see if my Super Bowl prediction proves correct...

I truly want the Packers to win. For two reasons.

1. Aaron Rodgers is their quarterback. He's a stud. And really good.
2. I've hated the Steelers ever since they allowed the Zebras to beat the Seahawks in 2006...

However, what I want probably won't happen. The Steelers are dominant in big game situations controlling tempo better than any team in the league. They are known for big stops and even bigger turnovers. Now, I realize that Green Bay isn't a cake walk. I think this will be a VERY close game, with the Steelers squeezing by...

Steelers 23-20. I sure hope I'm wrong.
