I have no idea whats wrong with me. I'm living such a carefree life, I'm making great money, have awesome friends, but for whatever reason I've just been in a funk the past couple of weeks. Maybe because I've been stressing myself out about my contract being renewed. In trying to prepare myself for the chance that I don't get rehired I think I really got myself excited to go home. But what is at home? Yeah my friends and family, but what else? I have no job. The job market isn't great right now. Oh and I'd be living in my parents' basement. My current situation seems way better. Job, money, friends, adventure, self growth. I guess I just feel stagnant. I'm not working towards anything. The sooner my school tells me if I'm being re-signed or not the better because then I can start on a TESOL course to give myself something to do. This is the first summer that there'll be no big summer vacation. Maybe thats getting me down.
This week is a short week, so thats a plus. Hopefully something comes together for the weekend. Its Buddha's Birthday on Friday so we have the day off. My original plans to go to Seoul fell through and I really don't want to sit around Yeosu and do the same things.
Weekend getaway to London might turn that frown upside-down.
ReplyDeleteStraight from your Life Coach:
ReplyDeleteHealth stuff - Cut out a few drinks & red meat this week, get some exercise, a haircut, and jump in the ocean.
A year ago today we graduated. We were stoked to be done with exams and dive into Summer Conference shenanigans... and enter the REAL Real World... it was more like a coloring book than a more intimidating blank page for a while.
I can sympathize with going into summer not having a 'summer vacation' for the first time in life. It's depressing as hell (though hell sounds a little more exciting).
Try not to worry too much about that which you have no control over, or else the worries will control you... Take the advice of the AA meetings where I work:
" Grant me the serenity
To accept the things I cannot change;
Courage to change the things I can;
And wisdom to know the difference"
And the advice of another great drunken philosopher: "if you know what's best for your life ...... yeeeeaaaahhhhhhhhhhh"
I agree with the scrantonator, but there are tons of things for you to do here, annnnnnnnnnnnd living at home with your parents is not the only option. <3
ReplyDeleteYou will figure it all out. Either way i cannot wait for you to come home. Whether it be this august or next.
I'm thinking about making a countdown board like the one i made for your epic office hours... do you think i can find a big enough easel?
