Facing Facts
I had the best day yesterday, laughing and giggling with one of my best friends for a couple hours made me regress back to my teenage self. We discussed our frustration at our current positions, feeling stationary after finishing degrees and having to move back home to figure our what to do. I personally feel terrified of losing pace, of moving home and never progressing forward, falling back into old routines and habits and never breaking them. So it was nice to confirm that I wasn't the only one feeling this way and to vent and feel like a teenager all over again.
This week I have had to face facts and apply for jobs, but I'm not tremendously hopeful. Is it any wonder when University doesn't really set you up to face the world of work? The idea of spending five days 9-5 in an office fill me with dread all over again, my gap year was tough enough thanks. Reports like this (http://www.allaboutcareers.com/features/article/less-than-half-of-graduates-feel-prepared-for-work) make me feel like, thankfully, I'm not the only one, but it also doesn't help me feel any more prepared.
Still, I have five more months and i'm sure many applications ahead.
On the plus side, i'm back to Sunday blogging again! What is it about sundays? Perhaps I'm just feeling guilty about the lack of work I've done and need to get something of the page to make me feel better. Maybe.
BUT, I have been reading, hurray! Home does allow me to read constantly at least.
Recent reading:
Allegiant- Veronica Roth (what an ending to a frankly nicely written trilogy, not bad at all)
One Hundred Names- Cecelia Ahern
Black Hole- Charles Burns (what a weird graphic novel... not sure even how to summarise...)
And I'm working my way through Wild Mind by Natalie Goldberg which has some great writing and creative working tips which are making my writing mind wake back up from it's home stupor. Any of the rest of you struggling to kick start your writing again either of her books Wild Mind or Writing down the bones have some great advice.
That's all for now, have a great Sunday & week if I don't get back here until next weekend :)
