since september i've been feeling empty. i thought it was because it was a time that i could have gone back out and applied for retail/hourly work. then september turned to october. still the feeling was there and i did nothing about it. now its november. a few days ago i just applied to one job near home. after i received a sign yesterday, i realize i wasn't really or i didn't need to go apply for work but that i should be spending more days at work. so far i'm only volunteering twice a week. i also realized yesterday, that i had lost sight of my career plans and had gone into lazy mode--lazy as in letting things just coast along.
so when i return to work monday i will ask to change my schedule and activities around a little bit. might throw in one other day of work and see how that goes. for the future though, that too, will change. i will now have to find and do a couple years of voluntary humanitarian work (hopefully) and then go back to school for a masters degree. at first i was going to do one or two not-so-long-term volunteer projects, then head back to school, then find a job in the humanitarian field.
there is a lot i can learn at the nonprofit where i am currently volunteering. hopefully this will all become useful in the future.
