I got let go from my job.
It was surprising, to say the least. I was hoping to work through the summer, but I was planning on quitting. I'm not really sure why they did it. Then again, I'm pretty surprised that they didn't fire me at Christmas. I've been sick a lot this semester, and I've had a lot of stuff going on with school. And of course school comes first, so I have to take days off.
I was pretty upset about it yesterday. I'm still upset about it. I don't like having this feeling that they thought I sucked and wanted me gone. I know that's probably the truth, too, but they said it was because they wanted me to "focus on school." My boss even went as far to say he wished his kids were more like me because I'm so dedicated to my school work.
I guess the only reason I was even upset was because... well, I wish they had just fired me earlier. It feels like such a waste to have stuck with a job that I hated and that didn't work with my schedule for so long only to have it taken away from me WHEN I'M FINALLY AVAILABLE. And it doesn't help that I'm extra emotional this week for reasons that need not be said. Just thinking about this now makes my eyes water.
But employment will be easy to find. I can easily get a cashier job at Wal-Mart, and I'm eligible for a crap ton of work study this summer. Hell, I might do both. Why not? I won't be doing anything else all summer. But I'm going to enjoy unemployment for a while. I haven't been unemployed for nearly two years now. I miss being a kid and getting to hang out with friends in the summer. I've grown up too fast in the past two years. I need to have some fun!
And hopefully I'll get a letter in the mail soon about a scholarship that I applied for. If I got that then I'd be okay with all of this.
