Whatever, Let's Have A Goddamn Blog Thread, But Try And Keep It Reasonable
Slick:
It's not a kick in the pants I need at all. I just need to be motivated by seeing people doing things and by subtle encouragement, not be someone telling me off. I need to see something cool and be inspired to do something else cool, and to have people around me who have and talk about accomplishments.
Edith:
Oh, that makes good sense.
I'll try to brag about my accomplishments as often as I can, then, if you think that might help.

--- Quote from: Linds on 09 Jun 2008, 18:26 ---Holy crap, blog thread, I just applied for 3 jobs online, none of which have anything to do with my major and none of which I particularly want to do. I am just desperate for a job. I need to stop worrying and sack the fuck up, but it's hard. Real life sucks. I want to go back to school and stay there forever. (No, I don't, but I keep saying that because I am scared shitless.)

I'm in the same boat, although I've only gotten around to applying for one job so far. I got way more cash for graduating than I had ever expected to get. Honestly, it didn't hit me until maybe a day or two before my actual graduation that "hey, I might actually get some money for this." Even my parents gave me some money, which was surprising because I'm living with them for free at the moment, and they're pretty in debt after putting 3 kids through uni (2 of which are private schools). The extra cash means that I can take my time a bit to look for a job, but it's still quite intimidating. I guess I don't really care entirely if the job deals with my major, as long is it's something somewhat enjoyable and pays decently. I haven't really decided what I want to do with my life, so it's just something to help me get by until i can get my shit figured out (if that ever happens).

the theme of the week in guelph is still sunny with spontaneous thunderstorms. i really have never seen anything like this. the last few nights while walking home from work there's been no rain or thunder, just the most amazing lightning in every single direction. right now there is a thunderstorm so intense the entire house is shaking and the lightning is like daylight. i wish i had a camera to take pictures, this really doesn't feel like it warrants an entry without them. i swear it is fucking crazy though.

Those of you who frequent gabbly may know that I decided just last week what I'm doing next semester for school. Rather than go back to London to study, I'm instead going to be studying in Mount Holyoke, or as I like to call it, Mary Lyon's Institute for Miserable Lesbians (tm). I'm very much looking forward to the larger course catalog, but I know I'm going to miss Richmond a great deal, and I get very sad inside and feel like maybe I'm not making the right decision even though I know it will make me more educated in a greater variety of fields. I am glad that I finally made a decision, but horrified at that decision I came to. There are some very important people who confused the decisionmaking process for me greatly, and I'll definitely miss the advantages London provided (ocean away from oppressive family, great cosmopolitan city at my fingertips), but I finally have that prestigious name that I've been mentally self-flagellating for not getting the first go round.
Boston, I'm coming. Grab a towel.
