In which I fail at life
Jun. 9th, 2008 11:43 amSo, college let out for the summer and just checking my grades now, I've got A's in the three classes I could get grades in and a pass in my too-easy pass or fail math class. That's a 4.0 for this semester which brings my overall GPA up to a 2.7 (rounded down) or 2.8 (rounded up). Ugh. My classes were ridiculously easy this semester. Which isn't to say I didn't learn anything. But they were artsy not-applicable-in-the-real-world things.
Ah, applicable. What a word. I've filled out an application for a shop near where I live. Well, I say shop, it's more chain discount clothing store. But I run into problems because I've never had a job, have no concrete experience in anything, and don't really know anyone besides first degree relatives. I am application impaired. This thing looks practically empty. I don't even have an interesting history of crime and drug use to fill it out.
I feel I should write snarky comments in the margins. Next to "may we contact your current employer (if no, why?)" I could write, "no, by reasons of nonexistence, please refer to the above note that says 'no previous employment'."
