My name's Laura, and I have a journalism degree. When I finished university last year, I started looking 1  at for after  a job as a journalist. I applied for hundreds of jobs all over the UK, and I went to a 2  few little lot  interviews, but they all told 3  I my me  that they needed someone with experience. I never got 4  a some any  job offers.

After four months of applying for journalism jobs, I 5  did decide decided decide  to take any type of work while I continued planning my professional future. Now I 6  am working worked work  as a waitress at a restaurant 7  in front of next to opposite  my home – I just need to cross the street and I'm 8  at the at in the  work. It's a temporary job, but I started it five months ago!

I enjoy 9  working to work work  as a waitress. I'm a very social person, and working at a restaurant you meet people all the time, but it is also physically hard. When I am at home, I 10  feel usually usually am am usually  exhausted, and I 11  can't to think don't cant think can't think  about my future career as a journalist. What 12  do I going am I going I'm going  to do?

I think that the 13  better goodest best  thing I can do is quit my job, but I'm living alone, and I need the money for the rent. My parents 14  have tell has told have told  me to leave the restaurant and move back with them until I find a good job, but I 15  not want 'm not want don't want  to lose my independence.
