Got Meself a Job Soon
Hey, how's it going? I'm alright, went in for a job interview yesterday, and they offered me the job which means by the end of the month I'll be making $10 an hour and hopefully working full-time. I say hopefully, because I want money, because money means you can do stuff. But I'd rather work part-time, or, you know, not at all. Damn needing to work in order to live! But then I'll have money and I can go back to Britain to visit and then I'll be happy.
I've been thinking about what to do with the money I make, after the traveling to Britain part. I need a bus pass so I can get to work, so that's #1, like, I should buy it now. I was thinking of getting a phone of the mobile sort, but if I'm working full time including evenings and weekends then I don't think I would have much time to use it. Besides, its the sort of thing that can wait. And then I'm thinking of saving a lot up to go back to uni at some point- I'd love to go back to Britain to do it, but that is a lot of money, it'd be so much cheaper to do it locally, but, eh, we'll see.
I've figured that, if I want to have a lovely job and live in lovely Britain and travel to lovely places, then I've got to work my way up slowly by taking on some crappy jobs, getting that work experience and money, and then getting nicer jobs. I just feel like, well, that everyone else was smart and worked during school or over every summer, and now they can actually get started on that 'rest of their lives' kind of thing. Maybe its just me? Just me that thinks that everyone else knows what they want to do in life, and are already going about it. Like Sarah, she's doing work that, well, seems to me like she's going somewhere with it. Like, that it'll move her towards a career in teaching or physics or whatever it is. But I suppose we all have to start out somewhere. Maybe, after I get back from Britain in the spring, then I'll look for internships or something. Or perhaps I ought to think about what I really want to do with myself. Really think about it, and look into it, and that sort of thing instead of just daydreaming about things. Damn responsibility.
Ah well. I've just got to think that while my friends here have one more joyous year left at uni, that during that time I can gain that stupidly-important work experience and then I can be sort of more on the same foot as everyone else. I'll keep saying this over and over, but enjoy uni while you're still there, while you still have time! Because now here I am, and I haven't got a clue about what to do with myself and I just keep on thinking how much I should have done over the last three years, all the things I should have done, or wanted to do, that I didn't. I should have spent more time with St. Tom, Pen, Adam and Nicky at their house in town. I should have gone over to the Old B-52's more, really gotten to know them as well as I always wanted to know them. Gone on more walks, gotten that bicycle and traveled all over the place. Been more involved, gone out more, or just having a good time with friends more often instead of just sitting around so much of the time. Gotten a first.
But, yeah, that's just what I've been thinking about lately.
