So Near Yet So Far

Today was a strange on by anyone's standards. I technically didn't wake up because I didn't go to sleep to wake up from.. so I went downstairs at 7am in -120,000 degrees (Warning: Numbers may be exaggerated) ... I've used that joke already haven't I..? .. Anyway, I was downstairs watching TV at 7am and I was thinking that today was going to hold many wonders and be an extremely constructive one.

And it was... I walked to town at 9am listening to Dido on my sister's iPod, (don't ask) and it was great apart from the occasional karate move trying to stay up after slipping on vast sheets of ice that had formed overnight. My plan for the day was to "do the agencies". Now, my experiences with these places haven't been enviable, so my hopes weren't that high, although something at the back of my mind told me something good was going to happen..? I walk into the first agency and 45 minutes later, I walk away with an interview for 1pm. What was happening?! Could it be that the first day I can actually be arsed to get out of bed in the morning hours, I land a job? I was excited and felt no pressure!

The interview itself went quite well and I felt I put myself across well despite my casual appearance! (I apologised profusely beforehand and she understood the circumstances!). I didn't land the job in the end but to go from nothing to 1 step away in 4 hours is certainly an achievement in my book. I was pleased with the days work. So I went and treated myself to a new cricket bat. Why not!

Despite me being back at square 1, I felt like I gave myself the opportunity to get something out of today and OK, it didn't work out - but whats to say it won't next time? I must learn to be more committed to the job hunt if I want to be successful! I won't be staying up all night again though because I can feel the tiredness as I type this, and its only midnight! Its early!

I would also like to talk about something else, of a new topic. Girls. The opposite sex has always stumped me as to how they behave and what makes them so touchy sometimes. There is a girl at the moment, she won't speak to me whatsoever and won't reply to any messages or even get into contact with me at all... I don't get it. It's concerning. It's not nice. It's not as if we weren't getting on before and then suddenly she's gone AWOL? I don't understand at all! Oh well... I do have a few more pressing problems at the moment, but I feel that this won't be the last I think about it.

For now though children, I must go. Tiredness has overcome me.

Mentally, Am I Here?

Bye x
