Missed Opportunity and The Importance of Getting a Job

So, being an American on Independence day, I naturally went to go see fireworks with my family. As I was sitting there though, I realized something that made me feel a little down. Taking a lady friend on a firework date on the fourth of July would have been a great experience. So, to all of you out there who thought of this ahead of time, great for you! For all of you who didn't, I share my sympathies. For all of you who are not American, but can find a way to take a lady friend to a firework show, I encourage you to do so.

Now, onto the second matter I've been pondering: my no-wage status. I have to admit, before taking steps to become a gentleman, I only saw the need for a job because of University next year. I need money to live off of for the first year at least, that way I can spend that year not only studying, but looking for a job on campus. Unfortunately, the job hunt wasn't working out so well. I was interviewed at Jimmy John's shortly after getting back from vacation only to be told after the interview that they had too many people leaving in the Fall already. So now, for plan B: Day labor/temporary work. I have to admit, I'm a little nervous. At the same time though, I'm excited. I finally will get paid, even though I'm not sure what to expect. I do need the money, however. This time, not only for living, but for entertaining young lady friends as well. Even on a budget of zero dollars, I still have to at least drive to go see my lady friends.

So, while this day labor is processing and working itself out, I will be cleaning my room. Why? Well, it is my only private space in the house as of now and the only space I can completely control cleanliness. To properly invite ladies to tea (my next surprise plan, though I'm not sure which of the three I will invite first), I must have a space they can feel comfortable in, a space with good ambiance. My room is in no such state. After I have it clean, I will be going more into detail about how I will be setting the "tea for two" up. Till then, I have the preliminary steps to complete, and will be writing more about how those are working out for me.
