Sick of internship becomes what am I gonna do with my life?



Feb 26, 2008 - 22:35 PM PST

So, I have this job, an internship. I'm sort of sick of doing it so often even though for the past 2 weeks I've only worked one day each week due to snow days and holidays. I just really want a break. I'm looking forward to Spring break, so much. When my school goes on break, I'm gonna take off from my internship because I just need time to breathe. I was stupid though because I asked my parents about taking a trip and now it seems as if we're taking a big deal trip to Canada and I'm going to meet a lot of relatives. I don't know. I hope that there will be some time before it and some time after it when I can just be like "ahhhhh" and let it all out, and maybe read a book or two. I'm so sick of school. I can not wait to get out. Just 3 months and I'll be done with school, 4 and I'll be done with my internship. But then I'll have to look into getting a job. I really should start the search before that but I really don't want to do that. I have spoken to my supervisor about it. I need to convince him that I really want to be a counselor, not a teacher, before we can move onto the part about what I am qualified to do and such. Now he's still talking about working over the summer at a school in order to test to see if I like teaching or counseling better. I need to just do the counseling because I need a job in order to get insurance and then to be able to have the money to eventually move out. I don't know if I'm ready to move out. The only living on my own I've done was a semester of college before transferring home and for a few weeks here and there when I've gone on trips without my parents (Barbados, Australia). It's really scary to think about moving out. I don't know. It's really scary to think about getting a REAL job. I had a job for 2 years, but it was part time and retail. I don't know.

Having a real job is cool at first, because you feel all grown up and stuff and you can decorate and blah blah blah. You sort of feel like Mary Tyler Moore and its cool. Then all the sudden you'll have to deal with you health insurance denying a claim or your car getting hit or your rent going up or your electricity bill not being received and you will ask why why why why did you ever wish you were older when you were a teenager? Teenagers have it made!
