A fork in the road of (im)maturity
From skwerly:
mistressofrobin
n. a good or new police car.
"Want me to punch that mistressofrobin, dude?"
Sorry about that last pathetic entry. It was my first job prospect and even though I should've figured it's not often you land your first job offer, I expected too much out of it. But at least it taught me how to deal with rejection more easily, and the following ones haven't been as heartbreaking. Live and learn. I did an online application for The Body Shop and got rejected by the computer as soon as I finished it, which was a swift, outfield jab that never settled long enough for me to brood over it. Had a group interview with Bath and Body Works, which I thought I answered as well as I could've considering all my "work experience" was volunteer and extracurricular stuff, but my fellow interviewees were a former teacher, hairdresser, and sales associate for another store. My chances: small. ^.^;; Course, that rejection still sucked. But I did get hired at the nearby Muvico, so yay, actual paying work experience! It's not exactly the path you'd expect a college grad to take, but I was your typical sheltered Asian kid whose parents worried more about my grades than life experience. So for me, this is still a life step up. XD;; It's mostly a weekend job, so maybe I can sneak in a second job for double work experience, ha ha, but I'll figure that out when I start the job I do have. Herm.
I recently joined a writers' circle at the closest Barnes and Noble, which had a bigger turnout than I expected, maybe about 18 or so folks. Most of them are adults -- yeah, I kind of still consider myself a kid, hehh -- so the feedback is different than I was used to getting at the writers' circles in my classes. They're more willing to offer suggestions, unlike students who'll say something like, "I like the title." So hopefully I'll actually get somewhere with my writing now that I'm going to a group.
And that's the important bits of my life right now, besides
popping my Hetalia cherry I guess -- I still want a Philippines-tan, Himaruya! -- and a dorky meme I filched from dufaux just for kicks.
Give me three people I know and I'll tell you whether I'd Shag, Marry, or Push Them Off a Cliff.
