 Photographing a not-so-bad evening...

I liked the setting of this scene. This was my evening, after I submitted another job application. (And I got a response saying they'd received it -- eep!)

This stuff is really stressful to me, and I'm having a hard time getting through it. The more jobs I apply for, the more I find myself wondering if I actually want to go on in astrophysics at all. Or life, for that matter. I've felt so behind where I ought to be for so long, that now that I'm actually applying for paid work I'm not sure if I'll be able to do it.

Also, last night when I was flipping the fuck out I did a series of aptitude / which career suits you best? tests, and they almost all came up "housewife". One came up "journalist". I'm not sure what that says about my abilities to make it as a theoretical astrophysicist.

*sighs* In other news, my local op-shop burned down last night. Now where shall I dream over formal dresses that I might someday afford for cheap?
