I wouldn't read this

I lost a lot of myself this past school year. I was thinking about that today.

I used to lose myself in a book all day every day over the summers in middle school, and early high school. Nothing mind-blowing, trust me; we're talking trashy fantasy. All the same, I read. I learned through reading those books... Not cocktail knowledge, but I learned

I know how you feel. I'm not normally one to chime in with advice, but I've felt that this year I've accomplished very little.
Being a social creature is an unfortunately human condition however, and don't think that you're alone or in any way unique.
I was accustomed to being alone simply by virtue of commuting all the time, so I struggle with wanting to see my friends as well.
I also know how frustrating the job hunt can be, as I am quickly resigning myself to a shitty job at Safeway.
For what it's worth, I think it helps a great deal to throw yourself back into your interests and to do something that you love. It brings you back to where you were and helps to kind of balance that negative feeling. However, I'm sure there are alternatives as well.
Good luck.

i have had significant trouble finding jobs too this summer... I have been doing extremely temporary labor, usually hard labor, which is actually a lot more rewarding than it would seem. At Intel, I knew that I was doing something that was pretty worthwhile, but one doesnt really get to see the fruits of his labor there. Doing labor, whether you are cleaning up construction scrap or digging or anything like that, you can see what you are doing and the results. Its pretty nice. It pays like crap though.

I interviewed for a job at Oroweat today... I hope I get it because i need money for school.

I guess i just made myself a journal entry out a comment. Whatevs.
