A Busy Summer

I keep wondering if I am biting off more than I can chew. I have my regular part-time job at the booth but my manager has also lent me to a good ex-colleague of mine at the location across from the one I’m at now. Aside from working two to three days a week, I’ll also be helping out two days across the street. I’ll only be there for about a month. Everyone has gone over there, well most people with my tenure have so I figured I might as well get it over with. I have a vacation coming up a week before school starts again so I’m feeling pretty good about that.

My internship officially started last Monday. I’m going to be volunteering for the summer and I’ll be working during the fall for academic credit. It’s a pretty decent experience so far. It’s nostalgic in a way because I am doing work that I’ve done before and I’m at peace about that. I’ll be a communications intern meaning I’ll be doing everything which isn’t a bad thing at all. I updated wikipedia pages today and reorganized photos. I’ll be helping out on the transitioning of one platform to another and doing some PR/marketing related work. I got my badge, t-shirt, and I think I’m ready to go. I still have a lot to learn but man did the hours go by quickly! It was 10:30 AM and next thing you know, it was 1 PM. I’m there during the weekdays from the morning to the early afternoon. It feels good to do what you love and are good at!

I’ve also been helping out my former classmate and friend on promoting and editing for her upcoming film.  This is where I wonder if it all is too much but I know I can do anything I put my mind to. I’ve been lazy for a long time and I really want to get things done. I don’t want to be the person who complains about missed opportunities but then lets them pass one by one. It is going to be a very busy summer indeed.

Today

Just waiting for some emails at work. Nothing new. I like the set up and everything seems to be easy and fine on the internship end. Work at the booth kind of sucks lately. There is just so much drama and I really don’t have time for that right now. Today will be my first day over at the offsite. I’m going to show up a little earlier to take a tour of the place.

I was tough waking up today but I managed it. And then I got stuck in traffic, of course.

The filming has been going great even though I’m not doing any filming. I’ve gotten a better system and things are much more manageable regarding time management. It was a hot mess last week. Somehow, I’m the one working on the website now for the film. It’s only in it’s baby phase but I think it looks amazing. I really like it and I have great ideas for it, too. But of course, most likely people will want me to change it and it’ll end up being something completely different. Oh well. I hope not though.

School, Gym, and Dance Central 3

I know there hasn’t been much activity on this blog from my end. School started three weeks ago and I’ve been doing my best to stay on top. Despite my continuing success in school, I did momentarily doubt myself. I’m feeling a lot better about my career choices and I aspire to be highly successful. I began writing a short story last night. I’ve got a few pages down and maybe it’ll get somewhere if I stay diligent. It’s a coming of age story and I guess it’ll probably appeal to younger adults or even teens. I just wanted to write that’s all. I know my writing is damn good but people will never know if I don’t write. I used to write often, but I’ve stopped doing many things these days such as baking, hosting, painting, etc.

I’m taking six classes at the moment with one half-term class and five full-terms. I just got through my midterm on the half-term class and I look forward to getting all A’s this semester. I don’t feel late anymore because there are plenty of people who started school at the same time I did, and they’ll graduate this year. I can’t say that their grades look that good though.

I have so many projects in my head, If I could, I’d hire someone to type for me. Typing is so tedious especially when you’re the type of person who has to change every error as you go.

Peter and I signed up for our gym memberships at Planet Fitness. I used to workout there about three years ago and I am glad that I am back. I didn’t have a great experience with the other location due to cancellation issues but I really do like this one. It’s busy though around the time that we’re able to go. We started last Saturday, missed Monday so we went on Tuesday, missed Wednesday because of the tornado watch, and we’re going tonight. I usually hate it when my schedule gets thrown off because I have Dance Central days on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays for another class. Also, there was a classmate in one of my classes who said Planet Fitness is a waste of money and that it smells funny. That place is full of sweaty people working out, what was it supposed to smell like? Plus, if $10-20 is too much, then you probably couldn’t afford the gym anyway considering the cost of other gyms. I absolutely hate working out at home or outside so I resort to the gym (unless it Dance Central).

I’ve been relaxing and kind of bored this week since I finished all of my assignments on the day the new week began. I just have to make sure I keep writing the short story.

Here is a cluster of this week’s photos:

This one is a little older than a week, but oh well. I had to make a mask for theatre mask. This is what I cam up with in an hour.
This is Boots, one of my two cats. I had just installed a new light fixture in my office so I decided to take photos of him.
These were the last ones left at Target. I love Post-it’s and I love pugs.
I was putting the dishes away when I saw an xbox controller lodged in the dishwasher rack. Good thing Jackson put it in when I was putting dishes away and not before!
I love these sandwiches at Squisito. Super toasted with Americano cheese.

I’ll try my best to post as much as I workout every week! :)
