We have now been in Arizona for over one month.  Phil has started school and is getting into the swing of things. He likes some of his classes, and others not so much (as is always the case for anybody). He's already really busy and I'm sure is only going to get busier. Everyone tells me I won't see much of him for the next two years, and I'm starting to believe it.

Unfortunately, I still haven't found a job. Honestly, I feel really lame. Its not like I haven't been trying.  I apply for jobs every day. And I have sort of had some leads.  A few interviews, a few phone calls, but nothing promising. Its frustrating to think that I just spent all that time getting my degree and yet it doesn't seem to be helping at all.  I know that if I really wanted to I could probably go get a job at a retail store or at a restaurant.  But, I have been holding out hoping I would find something better.  I would much prefer working in an office over serving people food (not that there is anything wrong with that) and having a regular work schedule.

It would also be nice to make more than minimum wage.

Well, I'm not sure what is going to happen now.  We felt fine about holding out, giving me some time to find a good job that I liked.  But now I'm starting to feel worried. I can't hold out forever. I refuse to use student loan money to pay our bills, and our checking account is starting to look a little droopy. I'm giving myself another two weeks tops.  If nothing really promising comes up, then I guess Chili's will be getting another server.
