My Life...

How Weird.

Hello again.
This is what has happened since the last time I updated (which wasn't THAT long ago):
~I finished my Diploma In Children's Services
~I've just started working as a check out chick at Woolies while I'm looking for jobs in child care
~I just got my own car, but haven't got my Ps yet
~I'm bewildered at how my life has turned out
~I'm feeling up and down with my emotions at the moment

Basically, I'm worried about my career.
After working only 4 days at Woolies, I'm wondering how I can do this job for a long time. It's boring while being too stressful, it's hard while being too uneventful and I feel lonely and left out, even though I'm constantly surrounded by people.

After having doubts about my chosen career in child care, taking on this job has only emphasised my feelings that I'm meant to be a child care worker. It's not glamorous, it doesn't pay well and its hard work, but it's REWARDING. Putting a smile on a child's face, seeing them grow up, having a part in the way they grow up, knowing that you're contributing to the person they will become, is rewarding.

Serving people on the checkouts is not.

Nothing against checkout operators at all (It is a hard job), but I definitely know now that child care is for me.

All I have to do is stick this job out until I get one in child care. Take one day at a time and try not to stress too much.

Meanwhile, I still love this site.
Just arriving at the homepage inspires me to write- I haven't written anything good in ages- but whenever I come here, I get the overwhelming desire to write something. I think it's because it has so many great writers on it who know what it's like to be a writer. Whereas people in my real life don't know how much I love it. If I didn't do something writing each day (even if it's just writing in my diary or writing Blog entry), I don't know how I'd lower my stress levels.

I'm going to make an effort to update on HERE more often.
At least I'm with people who understand me.
