Soul Searching

It hit me yesterday when I was not invited to the final stage of a Camps Coordinator position at the Pacific Science Center, I'm lost. I thought my chance at obtaining the position were solid and I was extremely confident about the position.
I was discouraged and now I have accelerated my job search, however I spent a great deal of time in the library today looking for new jobs, but only based on what I could do and not what I wanted to do. Part of the job applications included a Starbucks application and one aspect of the application ask me all these various questions about what adjectives describe me best and what would I do in certain circumstances. The section took me a while and I realized that it took me a while because I was not quite sure who I am.
I believe I put my identity in various outlets the main one being a student, but since I do not have that identity to fall back on. Now I guess I'm seeking a new identity in my job which was the cause of my disappointment. I feel lost and not really sure who I am. I do not really have the money to go travel, so I guess I'm stuck here in Seattle to do my soul searching. I'm not sure how this is going to pan out. I guess only time will tell.
