difficulties

ive been applying for jobs forever it seems now. most of them are totally over my experience levels and so on, but for practise ive been applying none the less. i even have read up on cv tips, and how to write a successful cover or motivation letter, something ive never had to do before, and thus suck at it. its a tiring process, and completely disheartening as it seems you just send this stuff out into the ether, with no cord attached to know if someone sees it, likes it or even bothers to read it.
in the meantime though- massively happy news: my proposal is signed, sealed, completed and in the process of board approval. woohoo! finally one major step of the never ending thesis story is completed. now i just have to write the fucker and it'll all be over! ha. i was so excited to have finished all my research readings, until my supervisor dumped a ton more on me yesterday. sniff. bastard. its good for me, and ultimately for my work, but hell. again.
