I've hit that point today where I'm saying, "Enough is enough." I have too much passion to be stuck like this. Figuratively speaking, I was slapped in the face at work today. Slapped, and I wasn't sure whether to be mad or upset or pissed off or sad or all of the above and more. And now after I've ventured through more emotions than I can count, I'm numb. Where do I go from here? I was finally at the point where I didn't despise going to work every day, but I'm back at square one again and hating every moment of it. I need a good internship. I need my passion to show through and my luck to turn around because this just isn't fair for someone like me. Someone who is trying to do what's best for herself and her future. I know life is a struggle and it's not all going to come easily, but let's get real here; I am so much more than a hot dog server. Don't get me wrong because I respect every person who has the strength to work a job like that day in and day out because people who work jobs like that don't get the respect they deserve. But that's not for me. I want a chance to learn, I want the chance to show my talent. And for goodness sake here people, I want the chance to put this education I'm paying for to good use. Is that too much to ask? I have two goals to accomplish tomorrow: 1) go to work for 8 1/2 hours without snapping, and 2) find as many internship opportunities as I can and apply, apply, apply. Wish me luck, because I don't think either task is going to be easy.
