I thought my summer schedule was hard with my internship (which finished up fantastically btw but that is for another post) and nearly full time job. I was wrong.
A friend of mine described my current situation like this: You have your hands in a lot of pots and they are all full of wasps.
That is exactly what it feels like.
I'm doing another internship two days a week in addition to taking an evening grad class; I'm tutoring one evening and Saturday mornings at an local university; I'm substitute teaching in two districts; and I'm taking ballet class four nights a week, plus Saturday afternoon rehearsal because I'm performing in Nutcracker.
Somewhere in there I am trying to keep my lawn tended, myself and my cats fed, and talk to my friends.
Oh, and maybe write.
It goes without saying that I am exhausted. HOWEVER, I'm also happy. Yep, your read that right. I am happy. I feel empowered and smart and social and just GOOD. I still have bad days, but I am feeling really positive. And it is such a welcome change.
Busy as I am, I still managed to have a writing lunch yesterday with a local friend bursting with an idea. It was great, we talked about plotting vs pantsing and outlining options. I talked about the idea I'm working on that I shouldn't be working on because I have two other already-started ideas. We had a really great time and even though it was only a few hours out of a busy day, It was awesome.
I haven't found time to write more than this blog post just yet, but I'm working on it. I've got a three hour window in my Friday schedule that is looking pretty good right now.
How is fall shaping up for all of you?

ReplyDeleteI don't why I didn't see this until now! But yes, I am loving it! October looks crazier than Sept but I'm thriving on it. I'm not writing a whole lot but that's okay. Hope you're well! :D
