Looking Up

So this past week didn't go too well - I lost out on a place at university, and despite my emails, no one will tell me why, so I've given up on that. And I was unsuccessful in getting re-hired for my old seasonal job, and was told that instead of hiring for experience, they hired people in the 18-20 age bracket because they can pay them less. Of course, that's only a rumour going round, but knowing what they're like from last year, it wouldn't surprise me if it was true.

Furthermore, I'm back on anti-depressants, just to 'level me out'. I'm on a smaller dosage than last time, which is fine. I've come to terms with this development. The nurse I saw has advised me not to come off them while at university. That'll be another three years at least, then. I'm still trying to come to terms with that.

With all of that said, I do feel slightly better for being on them, and it's only been four days. Placebo effect, most likely.

The positive thing, however - the huge and insanely positive thing - is that I got another job interview yesterday, for a waitressing job at the Beatles-themed restaurant in my town. And I landed a trial shift! So tomorrow, I'm going to try my hand at being a waitress, and hope that I do well enough to pull a job out of it.

So it's not all bad. I've actually been in a really good mood these last couple of days. Just thought I'd let you know!
