My final Spring Weekend has come to an end.  It was certainly a weekend of memories that I'll never forget.  The concert was alright; I heard Trey Songz was terrible and Blue Jupiter had a moment, so I'm glad I waited to show up a little later.  My buddies went up only to see Third Eye Blind, and we got early enough to see Trapt as well.  Boy, was that painful!  Trapt was garbage, but the twenty students on campus that like them were having a grand-old-time, so more power to them.  Third Eye Blind was fantastic, and they were humbled by how popular they are even though it's been a few years since they've released an album.  Sure enough, the concert was good timing for them to announce the release of their fourth album coming out in the summer.

The Carnival was so-so.  The food was decent, but after four years of the same carnival it did get a little boring.  Nonetheless my luck from the MacBook victory is still with me, because I came away with a $50 gift card to iTunes.  Yay!

Tonight the school is showing the movie "Gran Torino".  I'm not going to watch it just because I'm not up for a movie tonight, but I would have assumed the school would have had a funny movie shown instead of a racially-motivated movie like this.  Oh well, I'm sure that'll stir up a little controversy on campus come Monday morning.

Speaking of Monday, Last Man Standing begins.  It's a weeklong test of students' will, strength, knowledge, and overall desire to be the proud owner of two-thousand dollars by sometime Friday Night.  I came in third last year, and came away with $500, so fingers crossed I come up with a little cash before graduation!  Until next time...

It was a gorgeous weekend at UNH.  It felt really nice to get to wear shorts for a few days, but it was a nice reality check that it's time to get some sun.  These legs of mine have been hidden behind pants since late fall, so these warm days we have coming up will feel really nice.  This past weekend we had a few games of softball for  intramural sports, and I purposely didn't put on any sunscreen.  It may not have been the smartest idea, but it felt pretty nice to get a little red.

The next few days look to be quite nice outside.  I'm hoping to take advantage of that and get a little sun outside.  Spring weekend is this weekend, and if the weather is going to be sub-par for that, then I might as well enjoy the weather now!

Obviously the job market is tough.  I also got word back from one of the television stations I applied to for an entry-level job that I do not have enough experience.  Enough experience for an entry-level job?  Nice.  Nonetheless looking for a job isn't as difficult as it'd seem in the broadcast industry.  I'm not too certain of other careers out there, but when a television/radio station wants someone to apply, they usually will not advertise on some of the popular job-hunting web sites, like Monster.com.  Granted a few do put up openings on that site, but there are about six web sites that are based only on broadcasting-based job sites.  With just a few weeks remaining until the upcoming graduating class looks for jobs, these web sites are practically updated every day with new jobs.  I have yet to look into it, but I'm pretty sure many popular careers have web sites just like this; it just takes some time in order to find the right site, and then the right job.

The point I'm trying to get across is that yes it's difficult to get a job, but no it isn't impossible!
