So....
Hello, dear old journal. We meet again! At some point I might have to include video or something... I dunno.
I think my life has changed a lot in the past year and I would like to discuss this with you.
I haven't changed entirely. I mean, it's still little old me. I just had a change in my sense of self and values and goals.
For instance, I thought school was important to me. After getting my BA, I got a job that got me nowhere. I struggled to find a career with a degree that no one seems to understand. Oops. Well, continuing on, school is just not that important to me. At least as far as my continuing education. I might one day strive for another degree again, but for the moment, I really need to focus on the experience aspect of my life.
If I could go back in time and change one thing, which consequently would change everything, I would have simply tried to get more work experience earlier. But not having control over time, space, quantum physics and whatnot, I've decided that I'm simply going to have to figure out a way to get the entry level experience now.
Basically this feels to me like the professional equivalence of a pig seeking out a truffle: digging and burying my face in mud and waste in order to find something of worth.
What the hell is up with all of these fairy tales about how right out of college I'll be hired by a company that will groom me for my future career? God damn it! Who lost the instructions that came attached with this silly gift called, "life?"
Well, no matter.
We do what we can.
