5th of july
two months into the job, and to be honest, i'm getting pretty restless. there are lull periods and there are crazy ones so i guess for now i'm just going to enjoy the lull period and gather as much rest before the work kicks in again.
i collected my graduation gown (yayyy) and it's nice to have something to look forward to. taking pictures, reminiscing moments and catching up with friends. yet even though we are the same people, our paths have already started to diverge.
a close friend also told me how she's interested in helping a friend with her wedding planning outfit and her friend offered her a salary that's measly with no fixed career progression or probability of a raise. my friend asked how i motivate myself, going to work (in Town no less) and seeing a paycheck at the end of the month that barely covers my living expenses. what is my motivation? i'm in this for the long term and i'm taking a gamble. i'm not sure if this will pay off in the long run (but then again, in the long run we're all dead) and i know that i'm very intrinsically motivated, no amount of money can make me excited about a job. (tried doing research for money and almost killed myself from the boredom that ensued) so it's a lot about balancing an affordable lifestyle with my interests. for now.
