Week 2
Only week 2? The quarter seems like it's been going on forever. And yet I don't want it to end. Maybe that's why. This week has been BUSY. I only saw one of my 3 roommates between Monday and Wednesday just because I wasn't at home. I still have two weeks until midterms so I'm looking forward to playing this weekend. And working on Sunday.
This week has been dominated by the pressure to apply for jobs and edit my resume. Of which I've done neither, unfortunately. I did manage to tutor for 6 hours, teach a swing lesson, meet with 2 good friends for lunch/tea, hang out with my roommate and her friends and get to know her friends, ride my horse (who's finally sound!) and (mostly) get a decent amount of sleep. I also managed to do most of my homework. And go home for Easter last weekend. And play with my little cousins and hang out with my parents. Oh and I completely overstudied for a silly microbio quiz. Note to self, don't do that again.
This quarter is already being transformed into to-do lists, unfortunately. Run, at least 3 times a week, see the people I've missed out on seeing for the past quarter because I was being shy, work on self-confidence, apply for jobs, keep on top of school, ride Pico, don't get too stressed out, get back to whoever last called me, etc. It's nice to have the energy to be busy again, but at the same time there is always a lot to do. And yet there are moments like this one where I'm all alone in my house with nothing I particularly want to do because I'm tired, but lots I should be doing. Well, mostly just the resume. Unfortunately, applying for jobs stresses me out like crazy. So I procrastinate. And then feel stressed more. And still don't want to start. That's okay though. I get it done, just on my own time schedule. I wish I could isolate why it stresses me out, so I could make that go away. I mean, in essence I'm telling someone / some company how I would want to spend my time to contribute to their reputation / growth. Probably has to do with being afraid of being rejected. Who knows though.
This weekend I am excited for: Swing dancing tonight, Nate's bday tomorrow (I miss that kid), seeing Mika! (she's going to be in town for her bday), Jenny's party and hanging out with her and her crowd (I really like them, logical and nerdy), HOPEFULLY going up to the big redwoods with my friend Mike tomorrow, going to church (I haven't been in way too long, I'm really attached to my church), maybe going to crossings (I liked that service), and chillaxing on Sunday. Yes, that's a word.
So, in conclusion: Life is good, although I don't know what I'm doing next year. I'm excited for all the possibilities as they unfold or close up, whichever may be and whatever way my path unfolds.
Shalom,
Sonia
