2nd Semester Blues
I am in my early 30's and I have been working for over ten years, mostly in retail, & pretty much the rest in call centres. I went to college in 2003 and took Hospitality and Tourism, however I was unable to get a job in that field & I still needed money so I returned to retail. Since then I have been unemployed twice, & the last time I was unemployed I applied for and received government funding to go back to school, which is what I have been doing since September. I'm in a post graduate class, except I only have a college diploma, which doesn't seem to matter for this course, but it doesn't exactly help with the job prospects since most of them require the University degree. Anyway in September I was very excited to go back to school, I had a great time in Hospitality and Tourism, however this time I'm not having such a great time. The course I'm in is one year with an intern-ship. To qualify for the intern-ship I have to maintain a 2.0 grade average, which isn't really that hard for me since I'm good at getting school work done. However this semester I've already had a few days off from sickness & once from pulling a muscle in my shoulder blade by trying to put my hair up in the morning. I'm also very uninterested in a lot of my classes this semester. There are a couple that I find interesting, so I'll probably do well in them, but the rest I could really care less about. Plus I'm having problems with the coordinator of our program & I'm still unsure what exactly to do about that. & I'll be starting to work tomorrow, which means less time on projects. But the projects so far this semester don't seem that hard, which means I'm not working on them as hard as I should be. All in all I'm very bored & avoiding doing a project right at this moment.
