A lot has happened since I last updated my blog. I started college as a full-time student. I finished training at my job, and am now a full-fledged Writing Consultant. I'm giving serious that as to who I'm going to vote for when elections come around. It's insane and at times hard to handle--my social life is practically nonexistant at times--but I think I'm fairly sure I'll survive the semester.
As I mentioned earlier, juggling school and work has been crazy! I have a 15 credit hour workload, plus 7 1/2 hours at work. And that's not including Writing Fellows! I am taking Biology of Man, College Algebra, Spanish, Intro to Psychology, and Concert Choir. Psychology is fascinating, but it covers a lot of information. My professor offers extra credit if we do five hours of volunteer work, and considering it's college, I'll take any extra-credit I can get! I'm volunteering at Kourage Kids, which is a day camp that hospice where my mom works does for kids 5-18 who've lost a loved one.
My first few weeks as a Consultant are definitely learning experiences. I've already come a long way from where I was--I used to be nervous about my first consultation--but I've still got a long way to go until I'm satisfied! My coworkers and my bosses are very supportive though, and I appreciate all the constructive feedback they give me.
One thing I haven't done in ages that I miss is craft a story of my own making. I guess I'm lucky that NaNoWriMo is coming up soon! It's going to be crazy fitting in writing a 50,000 word novel into my November schedule, but I'm going to try my darndest. I just miss writing stories!
And so ends my rather short, rambling blog post. Hopefully my next one will be thought through a little more!
