A cure for lethargy?

[taotrooper]

Man, I haven't updated in ages because I... really didn't know what to talk about? I've been either too busy or too lazy to do anything beyond uploading Okami fanart recs on Tumblr, and that's because it's three clicks.

It's pretty sad, actually. I have a lot of DVDs to watch, a lot of books to read, a lot of games to play. But I can never decide what to do next. NOT TO MENTION MY UNI FINAL PROJECT ON HIATUS SINCE SEPTEMBER OR SOMETHING. I feel like a loser.

But enough emo! So we got some extra money from a lawsuit, and my mom wants to take me to visit Madrid for a couple of days! :D I always have to be left behind on holidays because they need someone to catsit and chipmunksit the pets -it has its perks, as I can be alone for a few days. I've only visited other Spanish cities (Vigo and Oviedo) for legal paperwork, and my brothers met the South on a school trip.

Anyway, Madrid! Hey guys, I need to plan the places I want to check out because we're limited in time/money. We know that at least we're seeing the zoo and at least one art museum (no idea which one, any help?), and I'll insist on Las Cibeles and Fuente de Neptuno. What else can you recommend for a tourist? Thanks!

I've been applying for jobs, but I can't really recommend it since every time a job interview results in nothing it just ends up making me feel more lethargic.

I sent a couple of job apps this December, but I didn't get called back anyway. It's pretty useless to hunt for jobs, because while in USA and most first-world countries the crisis is more or less over, in Spain it's not. Half the population on unemployment.

Not where I am, it isn't. I've applied to three temp agencies, and none of them have any openings. Besides those, I apply to at least five jobs a week, and I'm lucky if I get one job interview in two weeks.

Well, compared to almost anywhere else you guys are recovering in a general sense. And that's why I said more or less.

I guess we're recovering in the sense that people who lost their jobs when the recession started have mostly gotten re-employed by now. Those of us entering the workforce, however, are still screwed.
