Tomorrow I have jury duty, which I'm strangely excited about even though I've been bitching. Having been unemployed for two weeks, I'm just happy to be out of the house for any reason whatsoever.
These past two weeks have definitely been tough. I really, truly thought it wasn't going to take this long to find a job. I'm fully aware of how spoiled that sounds- the college graduate thinks she'll find a job immediately upon graduation. But I'm not looking for any kind of a professional job just yet, I just thought I'd get some easy temp work. Apparently things are slow at the agency...At least I'll get paid at the end of the day tomorrow. $9, I think.
I probably shouldn't have quit my job at Bonte, but things were just getting so bad. I was downright surly to all the customers and I was about ready to spit in the owner's face. And the sad part is, things are so bad with money right now that I actually would consider going back, if the owner hadn't told me that he was sure I'd be back. So now there's no way in hell that I'd work there now. Predictably, my lack of employment has led to a sharp increase in going out. And there's still no word from Penn, which is disheartening. I'm fairly certain that in the end I'll be admitted to the program, but with nothing definite on the horizon, it's difficult to focus. I haven't been studying the way they suggested, so now if I get in I'll just be embarrassed.
I think tomorrow I'm going to keep the television off and start on my massive reading list. I have been abysmally lazy even though I've had virtually nothing to do. First on my list is Waugh's Brideshead Revisited, then de Beauvoir's She Came to Stay. I could use some reading suggestions. I'm curious as to what everyone else is reading right now.
