Day 8 of being out of university

Feeling: NUMB!

I am beginning to go stir crazy. During exams the only thing that kept me sane was the thought of all the amazing sleeps that were going to take place around numerous places in my house once school was over. But with summer here my allergies are keeping me from these sleeps which keeps me awake at night to go over my jobless life. 

Not that I thought the career world would open up its arms to me as soon as I finished writing my last exam, I at least thought I would feel some sort of sense of accomplishment. That could be because I am in sort of a bachelor of arts degree limbo. 

What is degree limbo you may ask? It is when you did so poorly on an exam in a class you were already doing badly in so now you are sitting around IMPATIENTLY waiting for your final grade to see if you will be part of the convocation in June or just walking past the grad on your way to your summer school course. 

You know how most peoples lives have a silver lining? Mine has a line of crap. Exhibit A. this evening I was lucky enough to loose my job which was selling clothes to old ladies are a local mall retail chain. Apparently my sales weren't up to par. Somehow the company didn't understand that it is incredibly hard to sell poorly made and expensive clothes to people when you only work 1 to 2 times a week. 

Whatever....every time I went to work a little piece of me died.

So I have decided to at least attempt to take some sort of control of my life. If I can't sleep due to allergies I will join the masses with morning power walking instead of lying in bed blowing my nose. Tomorrow is day one of my morning walks which I am not really looking forward to because one side of my ipod earphones are dead. But one sided music listening could be a whole new experience for me.

*Disclaimer: Just the mulling of a frustrated undergraduate but I am in no way ungrateful for anything or anyone in my life.
