The Job Search, or, How Lauren Will Try Not To Be Poor Forever After This Trip

Despite this being winter "vacation", it's more like the winter of finding a job. I work better when I have a little pressure on me (like getting a grade in a class), and so the pressure of spending quite a bit of money on this trip has been making me job search like a crazy lady for the three days I've been home. I'm not really sure how to go about doing this thing the right way, but it's made me think about what I actually want to do.

The thoughts I've been thinking:
I want...
1. a job with some sort of international component
2. my work to benefit people who are faced with disasters from natural hazards
3. to do something I find challenging and interesting

This has led me into the happenin' worlds of NGOs, earthquake engineering, and confined masonry.
