Dolebludging Interlude

Ahoy and greetings! I’m taking a semester/probably the whole year off so I can find a job. For one thing, because I have no previous employment which is just sort of sad at age 22 (well I think so anyway – maybe this is just me?), for another, because I have absolutely no money. And I don’t know if you’ve ever been completely broke with no one to turn to to borrow money from, but it *sucks.* I can’t place enough emphasis on that. It. Sucks.
So I figured a semester/year off might do me a bit of good, psychologically as well as financially. Or, financially thus psychologically.

In other news I broke up with my boyfriend because I fell in love with his best friend.
Hahahahaha! Ooops. Suppose it’s just as well it took him 3 years to introduce us, huh?
Seriously though it was far less messy than it sounded. I’d been planning to break up with him for a long time, the catalyst was just more awkward than I intended =/ all’s well though, no fall-outs resulted. I certainly wouldn’t be this flippant about it if it hadn’t gone remarkably well given the circumstance. And I’d have sooner walked barefoot over lego than get in the way of their friendship.
Still, awkward.

In other news: living on the dole is absolutely no different to living off youth allowance, except the money they give me seems far more conditional somehow. I have to apply for 10 jobs a fortnight, if not they’ll take my money away. I have to attend every interview, if not they’ll take my money away. I have to accept any job given to me, if not they’ll take my money away.
Which is a tad bit ick when you think about it, and sure makes you triple check the jobs that you apply for. There are plenty of illegal jobs offered on seek for instance.
I did finally get an interview today, hopefully I didn’t mess it up ^_^ it didn’t seem too bad although I was dreadfully nervous.

I suppose I’ll keep my audience of one posted! I wonder if having a job will make me keener to study, or less? Or no difference? Hmm!
