God has answered my prayers. or rather patted me on the head while his plan unfolds and i sit in despair and frustration. I have a job
it's not so fun but i have one and i'm making money (well i will be after training). I am now a waitress at a steak ranch. The training is so different, not like England at all. no froms, no procedures. i must just stand and listen and learn. that's their philosophy. hmmm not sure which i prefer.and i have come to the conclusion that i must basically train myself.
my only hope is impressing costomers to get good tips.
anyway i have a job. i am better off than most in this country.
The people of Japan are in my prayers. God bless

frustration doesn't even cover it
no I don't have a job yet. yes i'm still living joburg with my family and yes i'm frustrated out of my mind!
both my mother and i are searching for jobs, hers obviously more important. she's had an interview. didnt get it. she applied to others and got responses like "this position is only for black applicants" WHAT THE HELL!
South Africa is not over it's racist past, don't you believe it what people say!
while i'm happy to be home. recent events highlight why we thought we could find a better life in England.
i'll keep trying and hold my head high.
in the mean time, we're sorting through family junk which has accumulated over the years and i found some old diaries. it's strange to read back on them but it's so enlightening. my teenage mind was so insecure. there was a lot i worried about. a lot has changed but not so much either.
P.S. my results for exams come out this month. hurry up already :)
