Entry Title: The Art of Survival
I've been telling myself for the past couple of hours that this is just the point I'm at now; that it will get better and this will be just another page in the book of my life.  In about half an hour I leave to start my first day of work as a cashier at our local grocery store.  I'm not sure when I got here, from the intelligent child of a happy family who was going to take college and the world by storm to a depressed young woman who has to take a $7.10 an hour job.  But I have to  believe that this is just another stop along the road, another leason to learn, another challenge to face.  Whatever it is, I'll get through it.  Sadly, I half see myself as Jennifer Aniston in The Good Girl.  But I can rationalize that at least I'm making money.  Well, however I feel, I know this is a job I need to keep and money I need to earn.  The more money I make, the faster I get out of the house.  Okay, off to fight in the trenches of Hell and learn perhaps my most important skill yet: the art of survival.
