Is this really what happens when you leave school??? Do you really get completely sucked into a black hole of existence, only aware of your immediate surroundings? REALLY? I don't think I signed up for this. I don't think I counted on the fact that when I stopped going to class full time and started working full time that I would be completely absorbed into my (completely mundane) day-to-day life. The only thing that I have been aware of in the last month is a promotion that I was competing for at work. And now that I didn't get it, I feel as if the last few weeks have been crumpled up and thrown in the circular file.
I mean, don't get me wrong- having some stability and not having so much chaos in my life has been a bit refreshing. But at the same time I feel like one of those characters in the opening sequence of the movie Metropolis. You know where they are all marching slowly in sync to the elevator that will take them down to their shift work just as the previous shift gets off the elevator, marching in the same somber rhythm. And every single face looks emotionless and stoic. I feel like I am wrapped up in this terrible cycle of get up-go to work-come home-go to bed-get up... AGGHHH! Get me off this ride!
