Moving Forward

I have a job, so I can get out of this funk I've been in and actually have something to keep my days occupied other than worrying about how everything will work out. The bad news is that the job is at Arthur Barnett, so back to a place that I had some good moments at, but overall was just a tiring place to work. Its nice to know they thought I did a good enough job to want me back, but they also never used all of my skills. Well, I'll work there until I fly back to the US and in the meantime plan for graduate school at Victoria University in Wellington. I'm feeling hopeful, but worried since they keep telling me that I need to get a BA hons before they'll let me start a masters degree. So I'm kind of unsure about that since I want to know why since it makes me feel like the degree I spent four years on isn't worth enough. I just need to find out more and I've written an email to a classics professor with interests in what I want to study. So maybe if I can get an ally over there and can start talking to some real people, it'll work out. I'm just feeling a bit pessimistic today since the job feels like moving backwards instead of forward. At least its only for a little while, and I then I get to spend some time at home, reconnecting with everyone and showing pictures and planning for the next step.
This weekend is going to be about relaxing and reminding myself that its only for a little while and better things lay ahead. The Dunedin film festival is coming up, along with the Cadbury Chocolate Festival, so lots of good things. Tonight, Rowan and I are going to watch The Fantastic Four since we're both in the mood for a silly movie and then tommorow go swimming. Rowan went running last night and that loosened him up a lot, now I need to go swimming and see if that will loosen me up enough. I have a job, so that's one less worry, now if I can make Victoria work out, so that I know when I'm coming back to New Zealand and when I get to start studying again, I'll be happier.
