Retitling of the blog, deletion of past posts, change in theme

Now that I've survived four years of university and successfully obtained a post-graduate work permit, I have decided to change the direction of this blog as a (for lack of a better word) log of the actions and antics of a recent graduate looking for jobs.

What comes after a B.Sc. in Physical Geography and a Certificate in Spatial Information Systems (very much linked with the study of Geographic Information Systems)? Well, for me...I still have no idea which direction to go in with this degree. My interests lean more towards geology, but if I were to get relevant jobs in the field I may have to go back to school and take some extra earth science classes. And there's remote sensing, the class which interested me the most out of all the classes I've ever taken, but I'll have to get at least a Master's to get a decent remote sensing-specific job.

Until then...well, I need to earn and save up money. In the meantime I'd like to explore various career options to see whether what I studied in my undergraduate years is really for me.
In the meantime, this blog will serve as a journal for my progress in job searches. Hopefully my blog will help prepare future grads for what's potentially in store for them.

I also deleted a few of the earlier posts mostly to keep this space a bit more positive and entertaining, since I was feeling very ranty in my university years and that made this a real drag to read (at least to me anyways). Ever since school ended I wanted to avoid discussing politically-charged topics and instead talk about the simple things in life more people understand (and are interested in).

Will update this blog as often as I can! Consider this my 'second Facebook'. ;)
