"If it weren't for physics and law enforcement, I'd be unstoppable."
- Message on a t-shirt
I'm at that point where I gotta rant again, so here it goes:
Getting a Job:
Yeah, I know I gotta get one, but for cripes sake, after years of school, I've had enough of "responsibility" for a while -- I think I need a little "me" time just to get my social life in order. And besides, finding a job has been torture.
Finding a significant other:
Recently, I've been hearing news that a lot of the people I went to high school with are getting ready to walk down the aisle -- and here I am, sitting on my thumbs like an idiot. It's enough to make me start drinking.
(And before anyone says anything, I tried to find J. Geils Band's music video, but embedding issues made it impossible. And the Swiffer commercials were just too obvious.)
School workload:
I don't need to explain this, do I?
I dunno. Maybe it's just me wrapping my head around the fact that the academia chapter of my life is coming to a close, or maybe it feels like this last semester of grad school is stopping at nothing to kill me. I don't know what it is, but it's really made me despise where my life is at the moment, and once it's over, I'm making a break for it -- no more rules, no more restrictions, no more limits. If I say something's gonna happen, it's gonna happen. If I wanna do something, I'm gonna do it. The sky's the limit, and even then, that won't even stop me.
I've been living life by other people's schedules, but soon, they'll have to adapt to mine. And they won't even be schedules in the traditional sense either.
Now I know what many of you are gonna say -- I can't wait for change, I gotta make it happen. And I believe that. I want to believe it, I'm trying to believe it, I'm doing my best to hang onto it, but the way things are going right now, I don't feel as though I have a lot of time to pull it off. I feel as though I'm in a working environment with little room for margin of error -- one slip off the track, and total derailment. And the requirements they give for most of the assignment I've gotten teeters on the absurd! Don't even make me go into the details on this...
But whatever's going on in my life at the moment, one thing is clear -- I'm not holding back on anything once I get out. Once school is finished, I'll be able to truly say...
...I'm free.
Thank you for your undivided attention, and have a pleasant evening, where ever you are.
