$5, which I now see from VGPC isn't that cheap after all. But for minty discs (literally no scratches) and a non-GH to boot...?

SMILE: Applied for some more jobs that I have at least some chance of landing.

TICKED: After you've sent out over 300 Resume and Cover Letters that have all been specifically tailored for positions, job hunting starts to wear on you hard. It makes you feel worthless and depressed. It's like my life has come to a full-stop but I keep aging. I'm considering looking into getting a teaching certificate to go with my B.F.A. Always been an interest of mine.
