Dear Journal,
Oy vey I've neglected correcting my MIDterm paper for philosophy for over half a semester now and my professor really needs me to turn it in TODAY. Hmmm I just don't know I'll be able to make it all the way to school today and she doesn't want it e-mailed. All I have to do is take the citations from my bibliography and insert them where applicable throughout the essay. Really an easy fix, and I know she was intending on giving it a good grade, because after my final exam she pulled me aside and just let me know she was so happy with how I did in the course and she wanted to stay in touch.
I have a certain appointment today that I'm a little anxious about. I'm surprised and embarrassed that I've gotten myself here, always having considered myself above it as pretentious as i may sound. And it's exactly that, pretentious. No one is above it or too good to end up in this. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping it will be an easy fix. Regardless, it's almost been a good thing in helping ground me and rethink my actions. My biggest fear is the possibility of having harmed someone else, and even beyond that, scaring someone off over this. I most admit it's a scary thing to go through, but I'm glad I caught on quickly before I got myself into even more danger.
I have approximately 3 weeks before my departure for Morocco, in which time I really have nothing to do with myself. I already put in my "2-weeks notice" at work and only have two more shifts, the last being this
Saturday. I'm not going to get another job until I get back from Morocco in late January. I happen to be in a very comfortable money situation but regardless I feel I should really seek a job I'll be able to enjoy (or at least tolerate). My comfy cushion of subsistence I have now isn't going to last as long as I seem to think it will, and it would be much better to start supplementing now so I don't go through any financial nightmares in the future.
As for my break however, I'm just hoping to maintain a liveable emotional state. It's common for me to start feeling down and out when I don't have any guiding objectives or people around me. I just need to make sure I seek healthy and considerate ways of conveying my feelings so I can keep my spirits up.
