You're Having A Medical Dispute.
So I officially suck at dating, but it's ok, for several reasons. One, Shannon & I are going to start planning yearly single girl vacations to all sorts of wonderful places that we've never been. This makes being single bearable, because atleast I get to travel and see cool shit. (lol) Also, Jackie says that dating's pretty much just luck (ok, it was really Rachel that says that, but she said it to Jackie and Jackie said it to me, so I'm creditting Jackie, sorry Rachel haha) Apparently I'm not really doing anything wrong, I've just not found the right guy to appreciate me and my efforts. Maybe one day.....but until then, I've gotta just keep an open mind and keep doin' what I've been doin' without getting too down on myself. Cuz that's super easy, lol. :o) And thirdly, I suppose technically I should be spending more time reading and doing things for grad school...so I can always use that as a diversion for my lack of dates/significant other.
Internship's almost half over. God am I excited. Right now we're just doing a bunch of D.A.R.E.-like presentations on Mondays. (I say they're like D.A.R.E. because it's not actually the D.A.R.E. program...apparently research was done and it was shown that that particular program didn't really do anything to keep our generation off drugs and alcohol, lol...so they've redone packaged basically the same bullshit into a program called Project Alert) I feel like a huge liar giving these presentations though. For example, this past Monday we talked about alcohol and all the bad things it can do to you. One of the statistics I was lecturing on was that it takes your body an hour to fully process one ounce of alcohol, therefore you should wait one hour for every ounce of alcohol before driving. If you have one 8ounce glass of wine at dinner, you shouldn't leave for 8 hours. I feel like a liar because I know that I have never once done that, lol. Oops. We also talked about smoking marijuana and cigarettes in previous weeks and this coming Monday we're going to be talking about the way that the media portrays drinking and smoking in various advertisements. That one should be a really interesting lecture, I'm pretty excited to see what direction the kids take it into...and I'm crossing my fingers that they're able to take it seriously.
Work's still ok. The closer it gets to the holiday season, the more I realize I can't wait to be done working in retail. I know that I enjoy my job (parts of it anyways) but I also know that there is a large part of me that is totally unhappy, like deep in my core, I'm totally unhappy. And I hate that feeling. I've got some social work places to send my resume to, but I don't know how realistic it is for me to get a job in the field given that I have to have 2 week days off to do my internship....hopefully I can find something part time that pays comparable to Best Buy....? If not, maybe something part time in the field and I can go down to part time at Best Buy to make up the money....just something so I feel like I'm useful in society again. Argh.
And now I'm off to go running....run run run! Gotta get in shape for the first Single Girls Vacation Extravaganzaa, lol
