Actually cried cried, as opposed to read/wrote/saw something sad?  That'd be...two weeks ago today, actually.  When the other mental shoe dropped and I realised that yes, I was fighting stupid and frustrating fights with the local unemployment office because I was, in fact, unemployed because I had lost the only good job I ever had in my entire life.

I'm over it now.  I applied to Adelaide University for a languages degree and am sitting a STAT test in a month's time to prove I am not as stupid as I currently feel.  :|




...I need to update this journal more, don't I.

Also, wow, LJ.  First you post this entry without the answer and now you post the answer without the question?  Well, I guess this is the important part. 8|a

Eee! Wow! I have been wondering what was going on with you, since you haven't posted in ages, and... wow. Um. Wow. Sucks about the job. The languages degree sounds fantastic*!

Good luck with everything, and please let us know how you are doing!


*You could study American, and use that as a reason to spend a semester or two abroad! *g*

Hee! Well, I'm meant to study abroad for part of it (assuming I get in), but I think that puts me up in Japan for a semester. |D And thanks! I will make an effort to start updating here again. (Plurk sort of ate my soul.)

As above. I'd no idea this had happened. My greatest sympathies, WA, and let me know if there's anything I can do to help.

♥ Thanks, you. And really, I was pretty quiet about the whole thing.

Condolences. I know how much you enjoyed that job.

Oh well, all the best for the STAT test. Upwards and outwards.*

{{{hugs}}} even though you're over it. That would make me cry, too. I'm very glad you're backing on your feet now. Go, language studies!

LJ is being extremely odd lately.

Thanks. ♥♥ And yes, I figure I'd just look on the bright side and go and expand my horizons!

It is. Mine seems to be working better than most, though. I'll just...take that as a blessing.

I'm so sorry to hear about the Job. The language studies sounds great, though, and I hope you keep your LJ friends updated.

Thanks ♥ I'll come back and update here more often.

It's selfish on my part, because I want to follow your adventure of going back to school. I'm far too old for that. Losing a job you love isn't unfamiliar to me, but finding a new job you love isn't unfamiliar, either. You just never know.

D: YOU LOST YOUR JOB??? You poor thing. Still, I guess it does open up the possibility of school for a change of direction. Best of luck getting in! Study up consistently beforehand and you'll do great!

Thank you! And hopefully I will do fine, the STAT sample questions look ... reasonable >_>;; and I'm a very smart woman, just not used to being booksmart anymore, so I will make sure I do my best.

Ack! I'm so sorry to hear about your job. T_T

That language degree does sound like fun, especially if you get to go to Japan! Please keep us posted!

<33 I will make an effort to update more often. And really, I'm trying to look at this as a blessing in disguise, because my job (while wonderful) did instil those terrible habits of never walking out my front door if I could help it >_>a

I hope things are going well by you!
