Job Hunting

I apologize that I have really been neglecting posting on this blog. I have been on the job search and so far it has not been easy. Being fresh out of college gives me little experience. Everywhere seems to want at least three years of it or a Master's degree. I have neither. I'm a sociology major, by the way. I'm looking for something Human Services related, but at this point am open to other things as well. Any advice?

About Me

Hi!
     I'm Alison. I'm a 21 year old student and receptionist. This is my last semester in university before I will graduate with my bachelor's in sociology. Woohoo!  My dream is to travel the world and see all the sights. I would love to find work abroad. I am a vegetarian and I can't wait to really get this blog rolling.

What else would you like to know about me or what kind of posts would you like to see?

I heart the library!

Oh my goodness. I've just gotten back from my university's library. I had a marvelous time. I felt like a kid in a candy shop with so many wonderful books to choose from. It was the first time I had been in a while, so it felt extra nice to be there.

Here's what I checked out:

1. A Christmas Carol and Other Stories by Charles Dickens
  
2. Asta in the Wings by Jan Elizabeht Watson

3. Throw like a Girl by Jean Thompson

4. The Help by Katheryn Stockett

5. Memoirs of a Geisha by Arthur Golden

Has anyone read any of these? Let me know what you think. Which should I read first? I am currently reading About a Boy by Nick Hornby, so I will have to finish that first. As soon as I have finished though, I will be sure to let you all know what I thought of these books.

Mad Mad House

    I just finished watching all ten episodes of Mad Mad House on Hulu. The show premiered on the Sci-fi Channel in 2004. However, I had not heard of it until recently.  I really enjoyed this show.
    The program is a reality show in which ten house guests must live with five people of alternative lifestyles. Don: the vampire, Fiona: the witch, Avocado: the naturist, Art: the modern primitive and  Iya Ta'Shia: the voodoo priestess present the guests with challenges and trials each episode. The challenges and trials range from participating in a Wiccan ceremony to drinking human blood.  Each week one guest is evicted from the house based on their performance in the challenges and their personal growth.
    What I loved most about this show is that it opened the minds of the house guests and hopefully, the minds of viewers as well. All of the house guests were able to expand their horizons, try new things, and learn more about themselves. Even though all of the alts deviated from the norm in their practices, it showed that they were just people too. For the most part, they were good people with big hearts.
    If anyone has already seen this show, comment and let me know what you thought of it. If you haven't seen it yet and are looking for an interesting program check it out and then let me know what you think. Here's a link to the show page on Hulu. http://www.hulu.com/mad-mad-house
