Well, this semester is keeping me incredibly busy. I haven't found a job yet, and worry that I wont have enough time for school work if I do find a job. I'm already behind on papers and haven't gotten a lot of my mandatory volunteer hours out of the way yet. Studying time has been low as I have been doing lots of papers and projects already. I am really worried that I am burned out from almost 7 straight years of college. I love learning, but these past 2 weeks I have not been myself and have little desire to go to the school I have loved so much.
I applied for and got a job as a field camp technitian for the last week in may with the school. I look forward to working outdoors for a whole week with my teachers. It starts the day right after graduation too, so it all ends in one big whoosh. I'm not sure what the next chapter in my life will be. I plan on working a bit before going on to get my bachelors, but I will get my bachelors before I die! I just dont know what kind of work is out there that I would enjoy. I know if I moved I could find the job of my dreams, but several things tie me here to Rochester...
Sometimes I just dont understand why I'm unhappy. I am living with the man I love, going to an amazing school and enjoying my weekends hanging out with some great people. I have a car that works and my parents support me in every way they can. They are even helping me pay to go to Alaska this summer. But I have to talk to them about that, you see my father was fired after 33 faithful years to a company that was recently bought by a major asshole. It is hard to watch him struggle with what to do next in his life, and I know how stressful it is for him.
I know I worry too much, but I can't help it.
This rochester weather is not helping my emotional state. I like the winter, but not when it changes from extremes and then stays too cold to be outside. Not once has there been enough snow on the ground for more than one day to go sledding, xcounty skiing or snowshoeing. I guess its a good thing I only borrowed shoes from school and didn't buy my own yet...
Im off to enjoy my lonely quiet friday night because Krusty is stuck working his second 14 hour day in a row...
