bad day...

Ever get those days that just seem to suck? I've had one today. It doesn't seem all that bad, but I suppose when just a few bad things are piled on top of each other, it's hard to see the good.

The day started off pretty good. I slept in a bit late because a few of us went out last night to see "21" (good movie). I got ready for the day and realised that there was nothing left for breakfast. I helped myself to the bread-end and some peanut butter. After breakfast I started working down my long "to do" list.

At about 11, I was reminded that I had to go out to do groceries. I completely forgot as life has been really busy and stressful these last few days. So, our dorm now has groceries.

Once I got back to the dorm, I had to leave again so that I wouldn't miss my art class. In art I learned that we still have one large project to work on. I had expected that all large projects were over and was looking forward to my not-too-busy-week next week. That has been filled.

After art I did some "errands." I paid for my housing deposit, dropped off an Housing Advisor thing and some scholarship applications and went to the writing centre to have an essay proof-read. That all went pretty well. I also signed up for a CPR training course on April 12, something I'd need for Camp Shalom. I was glad that I got in, not too glad to hear it was $75.

I had English class after that and forgot my assignment. The prof was nice enough to let me hand it in next class. I suppose I was so busy and running around too much that I completely forgot it. I also learned in English class that I recieved a rather low grade on my test; though I still passed, it's the lowest grade I've recieved from my university career so far.

So I got home after my long day and there was a message from Camp Shalom to call them before 5:00, it was 4:58. My dorm phone was being used and so was dorm 17's, but Christina was kind enough to let me use her cell. I called Camp Shalom and learned that I didn't get the job, but I was one of the top people for call backs. I suppose that's what killed the day the most.

After that I had to make, eat and clean up supper. I normallt don't mind, but I just wanted to spend some time alone in my room. After clean up, I spent some time looking for jobs online with no success. I have a job at Tim Horton's lined up, but there is no way that I will be able to afford Redeemer on Tim's pay. Besides, I really don't like working there and the hours are awful.

So I'm wondering how I am supposed to find a job that I semi-enjoy, that pays a bit higher than minimum wage and is not geered to people in gr. 10. Everyone else seems to be finding things. I have a feeling that the problem is that I don't have enough experience. How can I? How can you get experience when you have no chance to learn? I am in university and I cannot spend my summer volunteering.

But I know that tomorrow will be better and that if God wants me here, He'll work things out.
