Life = Good things + Bad things

Good things:
My writing won last week's writing challenge from one of my writing communities. Yay! It was a short piece, but winning made me feel good.

Janet compared me to Shuurei, who is my absolute favorite anime character. Totally made my day. Shuurei is a strong, independent person who is also really kind and she has the whole complicated love thing going on. Plus, it means a lot to me coming from Janet, who is a good friend and thus I really respect her opinions. (Sorry Janet, tried to think of an anime character that I thought fit you and failed. Well, Fakir came close, but he's too serious. You have your crazy moments. Ahiru is also close but she's not serious enough. Maybe Ahiru and Fakir's kid? lol. Anyway, I'll keep thinking. Maybe I'll come up with something later. I'll let you know!)

I had a job interview. It was only for a part-time receptionist position, but it's something. Unfortunately for me, there were a lot of other applicants and next week is call backs and second interviews. *sigh*

Bad Things:
I have no money. I know money isn't everything, but it's something. I'm not asking for much, just enough to pay my bills. Plus, I feel useless not working. I love working.

I have no real plan for the future until I get some kind of steady job. I was kind of thinking of changing gears and maybe applying to grad school instead of vet school next year or the JET program, but all of that depends on the kind of job I get.

I have to tell Sarah sometime this month whether I'm going to be living with her next year or not. I want to. I like living with Sarah, she helps me be a more outgoing and sociable person. I like myself more when I'm around her.

I'm on unemployment and I've had to ask my father for money.

There are other bad things, but they take the back burner to immediate troubles.

I used to always think I was in the right place at the right time. But lately I've been wondering if that's true. I've wondered if I'm truly where I'm supposed to be doing what I'm supposed to be doing. I guess I've just been feeling a little lost.

I think the hardest part of being unemployed is trying to stay positive. I try not to feel down about the fact that I've applied to like 100 different places most of which I have heard nothing back and have only gotten interviews from 3 places.

I am going to try and trust in my future.

I've still got hope.
