What's my motivation again? Oh yeah ...

Ok, I have to rant for a minute and since it's my blog, I can. Enough about Michael Jackson already! He's been dead for weeks now, but there is still a daily 'update' that updates us about nothing at all. When the media actually finds something out, then update us. Until then, I have no need to hear the latest theory on his death or weird life from the guy who stayed in the cabin next to his 35 years ago at summer camp.

I still haven't heard from the cosmo chick. I guess I'm going to have to contact her again. Maybe she's not that interested in actually teaching? You wouldn't think she'd post something looking for students and then not want any. Ah well, people are weird. This is something I've learned. I'm still really feeling like this is the way to go. At least I'd have a better chance of finding something. Administrative work doesn't seem to be in high demand right now.

I'm trying to work on my French more while I'm unemployed. I've found a site that I'm checking out before I recommend it to others. I wish I had the self-discipline to use it more. I know I need to use this time I have to do more studying (theocratic & french), but the motivation is hard to come by. It's so easy to let the day slip away watching TV and hanging out on Facebook & Twitter. TV is entertaining. Studying not so much. I know I'll be mad at myself when I eventually do get a job (I hope!) and I look back on this time with not much to show for it. I have auxiliaried two months, but I've been out of work for five. Not a good ratio.

Ok, mental butt-kicking time.
-You'll be less depressed if you do more than just watch TV.
-You'll be more useful in service and at meetings if you improve your French and study more.
-You might actually have something to talk about with people when you are around them if you've done more than sleep half the day away.
-Roz will quit making that sound she makes every time she calls and asks what you're doing and you say for the umpteenth time 'Watching TV'.

Stay tuned. Will Angela actually do something for a change, or will she continue to morph into a giant slug? Only time will tell.
