disenchanted

life after college is hard and i don't particularly enjoy it. funny thing is i like my job. i like my friends. i love my boyfriend. life is just hard. i don't have anything to really commit myself to. the real me feels a little lost in some giant waiting room. i'm holding a number but it won't be up on the little screen for a long long time and the people running things are not nice. i need something to give my energy to. even when i take on more responsibility and move up at caribou it's not challenging. every full time job i apply to tells me i don't have enough experience. glad i have two bachelors degrees. if we're leaving illinois by the end of the year i feel bad getting a full time job anyway. if i'm going to commit, i want to commit. maybe i'll audit a class. or volunteer somewhere. or plan a wedding? soon i'm told : )  that will be a good thing to be excited about. for now though, i'm still searching for something. still in the big ol' waiting room. they're on number 2378.... only 38495732709 more to go.

Here's an update to appease the masses... life is good, school is not.  i have zero motivation to do anything class related but i have so much to do.  we just finished fall break and i'm not ready to come back to the real world after 4 days at honey rock.  in fact i'm too tired to keep typing.  so there is my update. have a blessed night!

Another day, another list of things that I just didn't get to.  I could have, but I didn't.  I frustrate myself sometimes! How do you find motivation when it just isn't there? Keep trying I suppose...

I've been thinking a lot lately about what I'm supposed to do and where I'm supposed to be.  It's interesting that when you're very similar to someone you want to do a lot of the same things.  The unfortunate part about that is that you can't always do all the same stuff, really you probably don't want to.  Just a thought.  Too vague? I would love to do College Union, but that's Eric's thing.  Mr. President.  And i'm really glad he's president and loves it, but i don't want to infringe on his territory ya know? It would be the same with anyone, i just don't have many friends who are presidents of stuff!

I have a fabulous sunburn, marking my first of the year.  I fell asleep on the quad on Sunday with one arm under my pillow and one arm above my head.  this strategically lifted the bottom of my shirt about half an inch on one side of my lower back.... so the resulting burn is only my left arm, from shoulder to elbow as well as a strip on my lower back that shrinks as it goes from left to right.  amazing.  it takes talent to get a burn like that (that isn't fading...at all)

Smile and know that you are loved today!!

Happy Spring! Warm weather makes me smile and I love how it makes everyone else happier too.  I also love the memo that goes out to every girl on the first warm day of the year: wear a cute skirt! Which of course is followed by a posting on the forum wall about how girls don't wear enough clothing.  ahh spring!

Thunderstorms too.... there was one yesterday afternoon and i love to just sit and watch them.

Geology still sucks, a lot, and i still have not turned in the question set that was due 2..count em 2 WEEKS ago.  and that is where my sucking at life enters the picture.  off to finish the stupid questions and try to salvage what's left of my grade in that class!
