Taking Stock

This time two years ago, I got my leaving cert results.  It was one of those moments you never forget. And today, I’m thinking, what have I achieved?

I thought going to college would be the start of my life. You see, when I turned 18, I was going into the final and most important year of school, so life aside from studying and exams was put on hold. So once I cleared school and started college ambition came out.

And now two years on, I’m in the exact same position I was then. Don’t have a course, soon I won’t have a job, and not a man in sight.

And it’s sort of psychologically tearing me apart. I think I took things out on  Jackdaw a little bit over the past few weeks, just because he was in the line of fire. And I’m apologising.

Anyway. I need to get my life sorted. Next Monday the college offers come out, and then it’ll be decided whether I get a place or not. If I do, happy days. If I don’t, I’m going to start looking for a full time job, until I’m 23, and then I can go back as a mature student.

Oh, and if you’re looking for a cheap giggle over your coco pops, give this article a read! It’s actually published with a serious tone - Is My Husband Gay?

In the round, you know what, it's the same.

No matter what successes you will have you will always self-doubt, question, feel dissatisfied.

I'm reasonably successful, but such is the nature of man (generic, not me-MAN) that it's never enough. There is always worry, doubt, regret, dissatisfaction.

In my view, it's a fact of life, and if you are conscientious at all, you bear (or so I am convinced) a heavier burden.

Jackdaw - did you out him as being in Eire? Anyway, talk of him, actually read Hamsters Wheel

http://hamsters-wheel.blogspot.com/


and you will really see how bad it gets; but I think he realises (and if he doesn't he should) how much of the negativity he brings upon himself.

So read it, figure the Hamsters Wheel reference - I never saw another blog title as appropriate - and understand that you don't want to start thinking that way.

ahoj!

Sam!

You're still so young!

I'm in your shoes now and I'm a good ten years older than you! Uggh!

You have plenty of time to go to school, find a part-time job, and even date.

No one and I do mean no one has their entire life sorted out by 20. So don't feel too bad!
