Mandatory First Blog Entry

Ok, here it is. I've been meaning to start a blog for some time now, and haven't really gotten the chance to until now. I guess this is as good a time as any. Here's a little about me and what I'm thinking right this second.

My name is Cody. I'm now a grad student getting my master's degree. With any luck, I'll be able to find a job sometime after graduation. From what I've heard from people that I know, or from what has been reported on the news, this has become more and more difficult. I think this kind of sucks. A lot. I know a good number of decent, hard working people who are well educated, but are having a really tough time finding any kind of gainful employment. I really feel bad for them, but I can't help but think, will something that extreme really happen to me? After I graduated from college, I went right into grad school, so I really didn't have to think about it too much. I admit that sometimes that is a part of my reality that I take for granted. I promise to be better about that. That's it, I'm done ranting about how much I worry about my future and now feel much better. :)

Well, now that that's out of the way, let me end this cliched, and probably pretty hammy, initial blog entry with a pledge to all of the people that may (or may not) read this. Things on this blog will get more interesting. I promise. This is Cody, signing off!
