Unemployment

A month. A MONTH since I've been here to regale you with a few hundred words wrapped around my crush on Elijah Wood. OH dear hearts, my laziness brings me such sweet sorrow.

The good news? In one week I will be unemployed. By choice, mind you. But still, I'm more than a little terrified. No matter what I say about having to quit to start uni, I am still very deliberately walking away from employment, money and security.

I imagine my future has a very 'Down And Out In Paris And London' vibe.
Uh, please note, I never did finish reading that. I know. I love Georgey(/Ericy). Shameful. Anyway... 

Since stumbling upon The 5 Weirdest Reasons We Have Sex (According to Science) earlier this morning (hilarious read by the way. Nerdy perfect), I decided, maybe I can do that. I can write, and I can do so not half-bad.

So if I'm going to unemployed with lots of time and lots of internet (aka be a freelance writer), I'mma needa spruce this blog UP.

Oh and the bad news? I think I'll always crush on lil Lij. If you find this morally apprehensible, it was nice knowing you.

Joy out

Crazy Workload Vs Procrastination

Dudes.

I'mma be either a shitty blogger, or a fabulous one for the next two weeks.

So I apologise. In case of either my absence... or presence.

But :)

I did write myself a huge to-do list of things to blog about. It includes 'Movie Endings I Have Mentally Rewritten'.

Bahaha, oh boy. You are totally in for a treat man. That one alone will just be a bag o fun*.

So, I'll leave you with a snapshot of me at the moment:
- I'm still reading Gone With The Wind. It's taking me a while, but totally worth it. I will no longer have to run screaming from the TV/friends/internet yelling SHUT UP SHUT UP I HAVEN'T READ IT YOU TWAT.

- Shake It Out by Florence and the Machine has been implanted in my brainsicles. My God. Florence. You beautiful beautiful thing. I cannot wait to see you live someday. (Mention Splendour 2010 to me and meet a most gruesome death).

- Have been thinking for a while about changing my blog name to match my twitter name - Miss Joy Monger. It sounds better. But. I have some lovely strong sentimental ties to Opinionated Ophelia. Input?

- Am also debating if I want to stay in Communication/Media or start studying to be a teacher. Kind of want to do both. Like media. Most times. But the longer I leave the studying thing, the harder it'll get? (Financially?). But I also need to work like an ass to save for Europe/crazy living in NY dreams. CONUNDRUM.

- ... HOW DO YOU EVEN SPELL CONUNDRUM? WHAT DO THEY TEACH IN THOSE SCHOOLS? I MUST GET INTO TEACHING RIGHT AWAY AND CONUNDRUMISE ALL THE CHILDREN.

- OPH OUT.

*Read - yelling.

The Transition From Absolute Uni Bum To Working Gal

Ok.

So, I may have failed a lil. I may or may not have posted every day. Hahahahaha.

I totally sold out, taking the first job I was offered out of uni. I regret nothing! I no longer sweep popcorn off the floor (I'll hazard a guess that a lot of things are more fun than that). The only problem is that I have less time. The plus side is that I now spend all day, every day frying my retinas on the ol' PCmajiggy. 

Optometrists, you cads. Must be rakin' it in.

Anywho, I'm wondering if everyone else is as terrified at the prospect of graduation and life after graduation as I was.

I wasn't always really terrified though; I was just worried. Worried that noone would hire me, worried that I couldn't do the job if I finally got one.

I plan to elaborate on this more in the future, but for now I'd like to say it's ok :) if you do your best, make some smart decisions and put yourself out there, things somehow always fall into place!

Good luck to anyone out there reading this in need of an opportunity - a door will open.

Sometimes you just have to give it a run-up.
