The summer that went way too fast
I can't believe it's August already, and I've done barely anything "summery," aside from sweating a whole lot. Now technically because I don't have "back to school," September is still summer, but time is running out!
I'm going to Prague, Vienna, & Bratislava in a couple weeks, just for 6 days. I'm excited about it, but kind of nervous. I haven't gotten to plan anything, though I trust that the people I'm going with know what they're doing. I don't know what I'm doing though. This trip just snuck up on me, while I've been busy with my new job and all, and I haven't thought about what I'm packing, how I'm dealing with currency, airport transportation, etc.
Not to mention that I got summoned for jury duty that week, so now I have to go ask for a postponement in person tomorrow morning. I already postponed once, because they summoned me the first time the week of my LA trip. Come on, Brooklyn judicial system, let me go away!
All I know is that my next trip will hopefully be some kind of spa getaway, where I just get massages and eat delicious food all day. Well, I guess I can do that in NY sometime too.
The job is going well. Knowledge and competency-wise, I'm rocking it, but my "bedside manner" is lacking. I'm hoping that as people start to trust me more with tasks, I can become more comfortable with chitchat. Because no one likes working with a robot...wait, actually that might be pretty cool.
Improv is getting tougher and tougher. But it's a good challenge. I have fun practicing, even when it doesn't go well. I'm nervous about my graduation show, though. The people in my class are very supportive, though, and we're supposed to have our own practice session(s) before the show.
I'm beginning to feel more and more like the angsty teenager I once was. I feel like an outsider. I don't know quite how society or my upbringing has failed me, but I can never just fit in.
PS: I wanted to punch the women in front of me at Target today in the face. They tried to haggle every single item from their hugeass cart. If something rang up as $7 they'd be like "No that was in the clearance section, and the sign said $5." Ughhhh took fucking forever! I hope karma serves them right. Just sharing.
