Education versus a Job

I have little actual job experience, or so I feel.

I have the ability to quickly learn tools and follow instructions quite well, which enables me to complete school-related tasks quite quickly but also make me bored at the same time.

I gotta wonder if that also translates into having a legit job. Does it matter than I can learn quickly and do what is necessary to get something moving and/or done? Or am I missing something and people are looking for more than I can offer?

I have been familiarizing myself more with job searches, as I graduate in a year, and should know what I have to contribute, but all I am getting is depressed.

I DON'T have minimum 5 years experience in something, anything really. I feel like school is just faking me out and all of these classes amount to not because they're just chopped-up versions of the real world and I don't have what the real world really wants.

I know that if I found a company who thought that I was what they wanted, and I could survive off of what they offered me, I would have no trouble doing my best.

I'm just terrified that I don't have anything to offer.


I was so much more confident about what I have to offer after my internship was over. I know now that I can balance multiple tasks at once, take charge of activities while people are floundering, stay focused, be creative as well as take on monotonous jobs and still do my best.

But I fear that isn't enough for the real world.

I don't have experience. I don't have money to practice on autoCAD, solidworks, etc. in order to take up projects and make experience.

I just need a job so I can move out of my parent's house.

I have a degree in something no one knows about and from what I heard it isn't enough to simply have a bachelors in it. And even though my source was working with military equipment, and I have no desire to get in it, it still haunts me that she had to go to grad school to be wanted.

But I don't have enough drive or concentration to get a grad degree.

I'm going in circles, and I don't know where I stand in this world.

I am a hardworking, quick-learning, move things forward, easy to instruct kind of girl who just wants to contribute and move her life forward.

Why is that such a hard thing to ask of this world?

Idea

Just throwing it out there --

A postulation table.

• Fully interactive touch screen, slightly lower than a dining table for reach ability and sit-ability.
• Microphones every three feet, with noise canceling capabilities. 
• The option to activate or deactivate microphones for flexibility of receiving instruction.
• Different modes of interaction, such as a bubble chart, branch-off ideas, color coding ideas, etc.

This tool could allow brainstorming to take place as a group and receive all the separate ideas coming from all sides for further analysis and use after the postulation from multiple entities took place.

The people brainstorming, after throwing out ideas, could interact with their ideas and mix and match them on the interactive touch table, creating diagrams, mind maps, etc, without having to type or write anything down at all. 

Maybe there could be a transfer option to mobile devices for further pursuance?

This of course is a futuristic tool, for I don't believe the microphone capabilities (talk to text) are sensitive enough to take on all different types of speaking from multiple angles at once and still obtain precise information. Also, I am not sure of the ability of the noise-canceling microphones who can grab only the closest speakers words without garbling them or mixing them with someone else's ideas. 

None-the-less, I think it could help cut out the time it takes to type or write anything by hand and having to use further tools to mess around with the ideas on a small screen.

Anyways, happy ideas thursday.

Procrastination

So I'm making progress on those assignments.........ok just one, but at least I'm almost done with that one.

I have gotten to the point of procrastinating on homework by putting on makeup and making myself look nice.

This has never happened. I am turning into a real female. This is weird.

And hopefully today my magical hair person (Jenn) will be taking care of this mess and make it into a hairstyle (see below).

Listening to music seems to be the only thing that can get my brain and body moving to accomplish anything I dont want to do. This is good, because now I know what'll get me moving, but also bad, because I don't know how available this option will be for me in a 9-5 job. I have a feeling closing off from the world to get stuff accomplished isn't encouraged in the typical social world. Silly standards.

Woo random blog post.

Time with people

I know I need to get things done, such as a whole chapter for exp. psych, my entire assignment for IET, more work for my GUI assignment, and photoshop work for Jeffery....but all I want to do is be with my people again and just chill.

It's hard to get motivated, I'm such a procrastinator. If I don't force myself to do work, I just wait till it cannot be avoided anymore and I risk turning in work late.


Worst case scenario:

• Chapter 11 due by 3:00 Monday -- completed Monday morning, work very quickly to accomplish.
• IET work due by Thursday -- Completed Tuesday, Wednesday Morning, or Thursday Morning; can only be done on laptop with Quicktime.
• GUI assignment due Monday at 8:30pm -- Finish Monday Between Classes
• Photoshop work can only be done at home on prod laptop, or on laptop between classes, if I can force myself to bring it to classes. 

 I cannot get to the point of completing the day of it being due....

I need to work on, in the order of:

1. Ch. 11
2. GUI
3. IET
4. Photoshop

Gah this usually works to motivating me to work on it....but Monday seems so far away on Friday night, before being with anyone.

Maybe I can do better at motivating myself in the morning.....

This is the worst post ever. I hope my life gets more exciting once I graduate and have real work to do......right now its just battling motivations to do hmk...thank goodness that it is a rare thing to bring work home in a regular 9-5 job. That is so much harder than getting work done at the place of assignment and turn-in.

Especially when you have to work on a team.....I can organize, do my part, and communicate. Hmk is not necessary.

.................Hurrah.

Energy Transference

I have this theory... Everyone has a basis of energy.

Its a bit like the rule of "energy can neither be created nor destroyed", but I take it into account that this also occurs within our bodies...sort of like energy transference.

Everyone has their own levels of energy in their bodies. Their metabolism, emotional state, and many more is included in this energy transference.

For example: I've noticed that my skin is broken out less when I am feeling sick....my theory would state that this is because my energies are being put toward fighting off infection, and so don't spill out onto my skin's reaction to things. I don't take better care of my skin when I'm sick, I just don't have the typical energy to spare for my skin to have a problem with me.

There are other occurrences that also affect my skin's level of difficulty, such as when I am exercising or when it is my turn to become an evil female. :P This, I believe also is because of the energies within my body being used in other areas, and so the necessary entities receiving the energy are the only ones doing so.

 I have no clue why I wanted to add onto my blog with this post of all things....but I feel as if I've had this theory for a long time and just wanted to get it out there.....just postulating to one person doesn't seem like enough.

Here's to hoping this drive to write lasts!! LP
