Mood: burnt out

I’m having one of those months where I’m just kind of “blah” about everything. My favorite character is back in the Naruto manga and I strangely can’t dredge up the energy to feel excited about it.

Anyway… good news: Everyone, including me, is now employed. I’m starting over at Kalfact Plastics tomorrow night. Mom works there, same shift, so there’s no extra gas being wasted to get me someplace else.

The bad news? It’s third shift. Well, depending on how you look at it, I guess. I’ve always been a night owl, now I just get to work through the night instead of aimlessly surfing or reading. I’ve just kind of been sitting here wondering “What on Earth have I gotten myself into?”

Good news: Three weeks left before summer break starts.

Bad news: I don’t think I can get any more burnt out on school. I do not want to do my homework, I don’t want to attend, I just don’t want to do it. I really hate my geography class, even though I’m doing really good. It’s just… troublesome. lol I learned APA format years, they hammered it in all my English classes here at Baker, but yet now I’m suddenly not doing it right according to this instructor. I’m doing it the way I was instructed to in all my English classes. *huff* I need the summer off, badly.

Gotta get the newsletter out for Lunaescece, this month it’s just going to be random. I don’t have the time to waste waiting for people to nominate things.

Mood: frustrated

I’m at one of those points in my life where I’m surrounded by different dilemmas. Some are major ones and some seem almost petty. (And probably are.)

I feel like I’m wasting my time right now with my degree, even though I know I’m making progress. That 2009 completion date simply seems very far away right now. Couple that with my intership search, which appears to have stalled for the moment. West Michigan just doesn’t seem to have much of a market for technology jobs. However, that could mainly be because I don’t know where to look. Since I’ve changed my major so many times, I simply don’t have the contacts.

I’m still unemployed, which is always difficult. I dislike feeling powerless, but I know with my lack of experience I’m not going to do well in competition.

I’m wondering if it’s time to pack it up and move it out. There are lots of internship opportunities as close as Chicago and New York. Using either of those cities as launching points, I could end up anywhere.

Then there’s the archive. I really need to do more work on it, but I’m stuck until I get my scripting class. There’s things I want to do
