So, most of my desk and desktop is cleared out for the new batch of interns who will replace me starting January. My last day at the internship…………last day of having to wake up everyday at 7am for five days straight, work till 4:30p.m, catch a bus at 5, go to my other work, come back at 11, get ready for work the next day, shower and crash. And trying to fit my studying for GREs, applying for colleges, staying in touch with people, etc in my already crowded schedule. So, I should be happy right? But I don’t……….I had tremendous satisfaction from this job and I learned something new almost everyday. I have to say that the only thing that kept me sane in Albany is my work at the Gazette because it not only kept me busy mentally, I also enjoyed it. I would do it as a living if it only paid more. Today, I’m sad that I’ve nothing exciting to look forward to. I’ll be working 5 months in the mall and I shouldn’t be really complaining because most people don’t have a job, but a mall job is not personally satisfying in the least. I’m nervous about how I’m going to be able to pay the bills; nervous living in this run-down place by myself; nervous about fighting my way through life……..I just have to remember that it is five months and I can see my mom again. Hopefully, having only one job will allow me to see my boyfriend and friends up at Oswego more often. Hopefully. For now, I have to stay strong and take things one step at a time. I can do it.
