not where i intended to be.

i'm not where i intended to be. i'm not where i thought i would be. i'm not who i thought i would be. i'm not sure where i'm supposed to be.

life after college left me at a crossroads; what graduate program to apply to and what school to attend. it was never a question of IF i would go to graduate school, but more of a question of WHERE and WHEN.

life after graduate school is not what i intended it to be. it was supposed to be easy after graduate school, the difficult part was supposed to be getting through the grad program not deciding what to do after finishing the program.

the combination of a bad economy (12.5% unemployment rate in CA) and my woefully lacking work experience has rendered me to what i am this very moment; unemployed & wasting away.

everyone feels badly for my situation & tells me that the economy will soon pick up & i will be happily employed, but they can mindlessly say all those pretty words to me because they don't worry about what they will be doing in a few weeks time and their future is not whirling around like a broken compass.

i am not where i intended to be, but i no longer know where i'm supposed to be.
