Do you even want to know what I've been doing these past two months where I haven't been blogging?
Working: I have been working A LOT. When I came home from school I was a substitute teacher as well as working at the movie theater. Then when the school year got out, I started working at a warehouse 40 hours a week and THEN working at the movie theater nights and weekends. That only lasted for two and a half weeks but it still helped me save $1300 in less than 8 weeks. Now I'm just working at the movie theater but I'm still getting in between 20 and 30 hours a week so it's still a lot of work and a lot of $$$!!
Editing: My leadership positions have me working with a lot of governing documents and making sure they are as up-to-date, comprehensive, and efficient as possible. I've already completed two and will start on my third and fourth within the next week.
Leading: Going along with my editing, my leadership has really not taken any breaks since school let out. That, plus I'm up for a promotion at the movie theater, has kept me busy during the day. I'm constantly sending e-mails, scheduling meetings, working on budgets, and corresponding with the right people in order to prepare for the school year and start out on the right foot!
Researching: Because of my newfound love for middle school, I have been having doubts of sticking with French Education just because it seems so impractical at the middle school range. I have been looking into English Education so I can do that as well as ESL and then still have a French minor and maybe teach a class after school or host a club. However, that would make me stay for an extra semester and I really don't want to do that. But then again, because of all the governing document work I've been doing, it makes me want to go into Poli-Sci (which I could do in two years with summer school) and draft legislation for the rest of my life. The only reason I'm not switching at the drop of a hat is because I feel so invested in the education program and I don't want these past two years to have been a waste for nothing.
Relaxing: It's amazing to have time on your hands! This past week even though I worked 22 hours they are mostly at night (6-midnightish) so my days have been fairly open. It's been nice to be able to sleep in, lounge around the house and on the computer...it definitely helps my stress levels from getting too high.
Cooking: When I do have days to myself, I usually find myself creating things in the kitchen. I've always wanted to get better at baking so I've been trying new recipes as well as making must lunches for myself and my siblings. It's definitely my domain. =)
Loving: Zack and I are getting ready to go on 5 months of dating and it's the best thing in the world. We have literally talked every night since we've been apart and he's getting ready to visit for the second time this summer. I am so thankful that each visit has been for a long weekend instead of just two days. It makes it more bearable to be without him for numerous weeks at a time.
In fact, he will be here in 7 hours...which is why I'm blogging...in hopes of making the time go faster...
...and because I don't want to fail at blogging. But all these other action verbs listed above are why I'm not as well! Not to mention that on a day by day basis I feel like I don't do anything noteworthy of blogging so then all this time goes by and I have SQUAT!
Oh well...now you know =)
