The Ups and Downs of Getting Beat Up

Things have been a bit rough the last few days. I found out I didn’t even make it to the interview stage for a job that I thought I would get no problem. So it has caused me to be in a panic about what I am doing this summer. I want to stay here more than anything (ok that is a lie, there are other places I would rather be and doing, but I just can’t…). All the panic, worry, and rejection have really been tough on me. I think not really resting over break is also catching up with me. I hate how I am when I am this stressed and angry/depressed/emotional, I get angry at people who are only trying to help. But there is just something in me that dies every time I have to try and sell myself to all these companies.

 Anyway, before I just go off and keep complaining, I wanted to focus on the good. I decided to go and help out a friend at his private lesson in ninjiitsu. Basically I got beat up for a couple hours, and it was wonderful. Whenever I train I can’t think about anything else, which means I can’t worry. When I’m stressed it is one of the few things that calm me down. Plus there are the people, and they are like a second family to me at times. It was great just being with a group of them and talking. I don’t know what is going on this summer, or if I’ll be happy wherever I am, but things are never as bad as I think (one perk of being a pessimist!). The only problem is one of my arms is really sore today, but it’ll heal.

Your discontent about the job thing is totally understandable. My (probably obnoxiously) cheery solution-making attempts were not meant to discount how awful and discouraging it feels to be rejected. Job searching is really frustrating, and writing resumes is draining. If you ever feel really upset whilst I am prattling on about silly things, just tell me that you're sad and I'm being irritating, and I'll stop.

That said, I maintain that you are smart and hireable, and there are probably still local employers in interesting fields who would be glad to have you.

Also, thank God for ninjas!
