Vu just received today, after waiting three weeks for a response, a letter from Mayo informing him that he didn't get either of the two jobs he applied for some weeks ago.

I asked him how he felt about that and he said, "Annoyed." lol It really was rude of them, in our opinion, to take so long to decide, (they said they'd have an answer last week,) and then for him not to even get it. Either he was a close contender and they really did decide last minute, or they didn't give it high enough of a priority, which is rude since he's graduating next week! He's already found two new jobs to apply for at Mayo, so we'll see- he may still end up there.

As for myself, I was worried about how I would respond to him not getting one of those jobs because of how desperate I've felt, but I surprisingly was fine other than being annoyed as well, and now am anxious to just make sure we move out as soon as possible. It makes us wonder what God has in mind for us. He's says he's open to anything, which is good, but I don't think that I am. I've felt like my life itself was on the line in whether we find a comfortable apartment, community, eventual house, and more importantly, that I live far from my family; at least an hour away. I guess with all the back and forth over these jobs God's worn me down some and I'm less uptight about it all. As well, since I told Mother and Tina I don't want contact with them I feel I can breath easier and so am not as desperate because of that. My experience has proven that God only gives what you most want AFTER you stop being desperate for it, and so I may be getting close to that. I hope so.
