On Sunday I bought a book called "Surviving a layoff" (which did cost 99 pence at a great bookshop in Waterloo). The first part of the book says how to deal with being sacked as for most of the people it is a trauma and unfortunately nowadays it happens a lot. The book was written by an American woman and the style of the book is very American, if you know what I mean. I skipped the first part but I have to say that the second part of the book is very useful. I felt "depressed" since I came back from my trip, although I think it is not as serious as it is for other people because I can be cheered up easily. But quite often I think "does it all make sense?"... which is a very bad sign as always before in my life everything made perfect sense. The book I bought explains what could make me feel this way, for example: I am unemployed now. I wasn't unemployed for about 13 years and I have always been very ambitious about my jobs. Even my trip to South America was kind of work/study as the purpose of it was to learn as much as possible, which I did.
Now I feel useless although I do other things which I love doing (writing this blog, writing articles for my journalism course or socialising). Hmmm......
