A response to the times of desperation
Thanks Gas for the insightful comments on graduate jobs, LOL i was pretending to be stupid in my last post by the way, I actually do know what a graduate job is thank you very much!
Anyway, I know I should be looking for one but the truth of the matter is that I'm soooo not prepared to look for one. I've barely got myself grounded in this semester, it took me a week and a half to decide on my 3RD elective which meant that I effectively missed 3 classes.
So all my friends are racing to apply, I think I might apply to one or two. But I so hope I don't get it, not that I would get one anyway!
yeah, so I've learnt a lot today, I've learnt to take it easy, I've learnt not to get JEALOUS, learnt not to beat myself up for not achieving as others have, learnt not to get myself in a depressive mood just because I haven't got any High Distinctions in my legal career, I've learnt to see the big picture, learnt to APPRECIATE my friends and all the good things in my life.
At the end of the day, I just want to appreciate the sunset from my front porch, do a job to which I'm well suited and get paid a REASONABLE amount so that I don't live in absolute poverty.
Would it be so bad to work as a teacher, or a paralegal, or a journalist, or as customer service officer in the bank?
Do I really want to work for a multi billion top tier law firm where I couldn't cope with the work load? Am I really that sharp and intelligent for that?
Its all about being grounded and realistic. Is this the concept of being "grounded in Christ"??
All I know is that knowing God just frees me from this business of not being able to compete with high achievers ..

I've been quietly reading and yeah i rkn just live life to fullest my dear..
thinking so far into the future is something you can think about later down the track of this year..
you don't need to compare yourself to all your mates even though by habit everyone does...
goodness...i use to so much in my dance classes...=))...
but exactly....Appreciate everything around you and appreciate what you already you have and dont meet anyone's standards except yours..
But...on the whole Mr Keith...don't ever look down on what you think you are not capable of...
just keep driving yourself..and if you have that much motivation you will reach a goal that is so undescrible...because You did it in christ!
leave the competition and shine in your lil spot with God!
*hugs*

Yes Keith! Chase the girls! Go lad, go! ROFL... that's rich ;)
Seriously... work's not that great dude. I'm doing the crazy hours, but probably not that much stress(even though my patience has been stretched a fair bit the last few weeks) and that alone is quite taxing. Lack of sleep is slowly killing me.. unless I'm trying to go for the rugged Robert Radford look.
But yes... chase the girls.. please do.. and make sure i'm around when you're doing it :D
