Rock Bottom

Published 8.3.04 by Porkchop | E-mail this post

I have not hit absolute rock bottom, but pretty close to it.

I know this sounds incredibly petty, but I got yet another D in a class I am working my butt off in, and I am SO mad. I know in time, the pain will fade, and I will have it put into perspective, but right now I am SO upset. The look on Dad's face when he heard, was less than lovely. I HATE school! It isn't because I am a bad student, because I am getting A's in the rest of my classes. I just HATE it.

What can I do? Maybe I should be a toll booth collecter person.

On the other hand, I don't think they make very much money. Help!

This odd narrative is my life. I ended up in Pittsburgh, of all places--from the beach. I have no hobbies, other than cooking excessively and eating microwave popcorn. I enjoy shopping, the Food network, hiding the remote so the Food network cannot be turned off, find ethnic food stores and restaurants and reading voraciously. My life is decidedly pedestrian.

I worked in the car business where I was required to be ruthless and soul-less wench, which is when I started this project. Since then, I've kept it up because secretly, I've always wanted to join the military. Every male in my mother's family has joined and I quietly entertain thoughts of joining. I haven't yet and don't know if I ever will, but sending the troops cookies keeps me sane. it makes me think I still have a shred of human kindness left in my withering soul. it's a small way for me to salute the men and women who are brave enough to fight for freedom. And makes me feel like I'm contributing toward troop morale--even if I'm not. So if you want to help, send me addresses of troops you know stationed overseas. you may also contribute toward the cost of chocolate chips, but don't feel obligated, that link is here only by request.
