Creating a Rift

Feb 02, 2011 23:49

It's officially been seven months since this internship started and I'm walking away with a great deal of experience under my belt but not a whole lot of promise for a new job or career. I understand that I need to keep applying myself and keep my hopes up, but it's been difficult in this environment.

I've moved out of Disney housing into a very nice apartment with my roommate Sarah, and our friend Amy (both still employed by Disney). I've been staying with them an extra 2 weeks in the hopes that I could find a job before selling my car. Unfortunately, I've had no luck and I've been forced to sell my car and move out.

In the meantime, I've become nothing but a slovenly roommate and I'm almost certain that I've slowly crawled under the skin of my fellow housemates. I feel increasing resentment from the two of them and I'm fearful their affections toward me will turn sour before I get on the plane in the next few days.

I'm doing the best that I can to stay out of their hair, contribute to chores and household upkeep, and not ask too many favors. The thing is, my car is not registered to park in their sub division and I can only keep it parked outside our friend's sub division for a limited amount of time. Basically, I've become a horrible burden mostly because my car is a piece of crap.

Fortunately, if luck is on my side, I will be able to finalize the sale of that beast tomorrow afternoon and be rid of that clunker from now on.

I very much look forward to coming home again, but I know I will come to resent it soon enough.

I don't wanna be a loser, but I guess I'll finally be coming face-to-face with the reality that all recent graduates suffer... just a little delayed.

I'm frustrated, I'm worried, I feel horribly guilty and I just wanna get outta here!

I'm gonna throw monies at my friends before I leave... that should ease my conscience.

Until then! uhg...
