NEWs

Today was a day of news. This is the first entry I'm writing from my new laptop. I finally have a computer that isn't super slow and doesn't have a broken hinge and noisy fan. So yes, here I am writing on my new laptop. Apart from the computer, I also found out I got a job that I interviewed for. I really wanted my (I think) boyfriend to be the first person I told, but he's disappeared into the ether today, so I guess its alright for me to blog about it. I now feel like I did 5 years ago, when I got my first laptop and was excited yet apprehensive about starting college, except now I'm supposed to be a real adult and start working and paying off loans and be responsible. (Shudder)

I'm always telling my (possible) boyfriend about how he should grow up, I've completely forgotten how reluctant I am to growing up. I think I've been wanting to stay a kid so badly that subconsciously that's been the main factor in me not finding a job. Of course the economy didn't help, but the fact that I applied to only 10 jobs in the last 6 months didn't help either. But I guess maturity caught up with me after all, or just the dwindling funds in my bank account. I was complaining to my friend the other day about how much I miss Calcutta and how I miss my friends there and she said, "No Pratima, you miss being employed. You miss having money." Sadly enough, my Furry friend was right, I'm super excited about the fact that I can actually do things and not worry about making my paltry bank account last, in fact I can actually add to it so I can move out someday soon, or take one of the many trips I've been wanting to take.

I've been saying all along that 2010 will be a good year, and I really think I am right about it. But for now, I'm off to set up my Skype account so I can talk to my friends I miss so much and am too cheap to make international phone calls to speak to.
