A-B-C... easy as 1-2-3...
yeah so my sis and i are talkin bout getting back into school. i was almost convinced that i wanted to do nursing, but i think i'll just venture deaper in the realm of edumacation... annie on the other hand was the last person i'd ever picture taking nursing, and now she's talkin bout getting all her applications straight for the bcit and langara programs. funny. well, i guess 4 years in the "real world" is enough for us to see how it sucks. and it's easy to get stuck in a certain lifestyle... which could ultimately make everything SO suck. we just need to get ourselves more education to get better jobs (or higher pay for what we do!).
well, she's got it okay with a job that has benifits and regular hours... plus she got a good raise not too long ago that i thought she really deserved so that's not bad. but of course, her job falls under the "mediocre" category. she still does too much hard labour a day, and on top of that she still has to do a ton of paperwork. it kinda doesn't balance out enough. i have my cool, fun, laid-back teacher's aid job that i really love... but i don't have it full-time, and i have no benefits (yeah so my eyesight's deteriorating... what can i do?). and worst of all, i just want to have a job like this full-time, but the school just can't afford to give it to me, even tho they want to.
it's funny cuz if you were to relate life to the matrix philosophies, answering the question "what IS real?" would be easy... "real" is when you get outta school... cuz like the "real world" in the matrix, the "real world" for us is the same: it sucks unless you do something about it.
