It's Spring semester and I'm still a Junior. I sometimes ignore the fact that I have 1.5 years left until I get my bachelors. The nice thing about going to school is that you're constantly around those who are just like you, in school. When I go back to work and I'm surrounded by those who have their degrees and lots of free time, I feel the pressure to finish school quickly so I can get back to my job. I really like my job, but I can't allow it to be top priority yet. Not until I graduate. That doesn't mean I don't put in 110% when I'm at work, I definitely strive to do better than I did the day before but I always need that reminder of school being the number one-most-important-thing-ever.
Once summer rolls around, I'm looking at 30-35 hour work weeks again and I love it and don't love it. It tends to stress me out to the point where I can't sleep because I'm thinking of work. It also relaxes me because this is my job, and I love my job. So, can't really win here. I'm also really excited for summer??? Like, way-too-excited excited. I have a huge family reunion coming up in July and we're going to be in this huge cabin in Nevada for a few days. I'm really looking forward to it because it's going to be four days of pure food and family, with the ocassional sleeping. I'm also pretty bummed about it because my mom won't be joining us this time, but I know she'll be happy to be completing classes that will let her graduate on time and that's good enough for me.
As I'm writing this, there is a small furry brown animal laying next to me, sleeping on the couch. This makes nap #5 and it's only noon. I have to leave for work soon since I have a student in a few, but I'm not stressing out about it like I normally am and it's leaving me both worried and relieved. Worried because why the hell am I not so stressed??? and relieved because WOW I can feel my body relaxed. I feel like I love my job to the point that I want to do so well in it, it stresses me out. :-)
I feel like this blog is like an old friend, someone I can always come back to after abandoning it for months at a time. If anyone ever reads this, just do what I do! Check on it every 3-4 months or so. Something usually pops up around that time. I have a ton of work to do for school and I'm so feeling it, hence the title. For right now, I'm about to head off my computer and go to work for an hour and a half. I love Thursdays.
See you next time, old friend... I'll be back.
