Russian Camp Next Week (maybe 2 weeks)

I finished Pat's camp in Persnofka last week. It was fun, but very tiring.

Yesterday I finally finished catching up on the stuff I missed by going to camp, and am mostly where I need to be for stuff. I still haven't gotten to the Russian audiobooks I have, but I remain hopeful for the weeks after Russian Camp.

There will be 8 volunteers from outside Petro coming in for the camp which will be held in my college, which has graciously offered us rooms and is letting the out-of-town volunteers stay in the dormitory. It should be a fun time.

The weather today is pretty chilly, as was the day before yesterday, but yesterday was very hot. I'm hoping it will stay like this for the rest of the summer, but it will probably heat back up.

My current torment is the thought of getting a job. The internet news is pretty grim on the prospect for recent graduates, and there is increasingly serious talk of a double dip recession, which would be a bit of a bother for me. It looks like more than half of recent BA's don't have a job for which a BA is a requirement.

Hopefully I will be able to leverage my PC experience to avoid that.

Anybody know any Public Accountants I could do an Informational Interview with?

I won't be on campus to attend the recruiting events, and so I need to make an unconventional entry into the profession.

Current plan is to start calling everyone with a CPA that I have a connection to and asking their opinion of how to get into the field from where I am now.
