Quite a While Without an Update...
Aug. 12th, 2003 03:02 pmI'm a bad, bad, bad person. I don't update like I should.
Mostly, I've just been in a funk the last several weeks. I've decided not to go back to school and to find a job instead, not to mention my last several classes have gone fairly badly (::shudder::) - the 'net and my journal just haven't been on my radar at all.
A job that I thought I really, really wanted fell through last week. Which really, really sucked. Only, on the heels of that, two new opportunities suddenly became available, both of which seem much *much* MUCH better for me - one is even a full 40 hours plus benefits (?) I hope, anyway. A real grown-up job where I would be making enough that I would have options about where I was and what I was doing. I mean, I *LOVE* where I'm living, I don't want to move right now - but there's a huge difference between being somewhere because I choose too, and being somewhere because it's my only option besides moving back to my Mom's. So, yeah.
I'm kind of concerned about working a 40hour week... I've never done that kind of thing (ok, so when I was in high school I worked more like a 70 hour week - marching band sucks time, btw) and so, well, I'm nervous as to whether or not I have the stamina for it. Will I last, or will it become the *only* thing I have any energy what-so-ever for? I don't mind a job taking up some of my energy, but if i never have any for anything else, then that's not ok.
On that note, I went back and had another sleep study. Post-op this time (they had to wait several months for my throat to completely heal and then I kept putting it off.) So, maybe by next week or so, I'll be sleeping better and therefore feeling better.
I missed the last ScaperCon. I *HATE* that. I really, really, really do. Beck spent that weekend in Orlando at an Avon convention, and I'm afraid I kinda moped on Carl most of the weekend. Well, that and took apart an engine. (Carl's fault. Entirely.) I need to email Sarah and see if she'll pretty please send me vids - there are a couple years worth I need cause my either vanished when I moved (grumble) or the tape frelled and is missing several of them. Sigh.
I've been in Harry Potter land, beyond all that. And now West Wing too, because Bravo is wonderful and is running it every night now. Re: Harry Potter, I've been a fic demon, having discovered Draco/Hermione goodness and now a fic that features grown up!Blaise and Draco (in which the ambiguous Blaise Zambini is female). Drool. Recc's soon.
