The Countdown
I had one of those days when I don't want to talk to anyone. I woke up in a bad mood and stayed that way until I got off work. I think I'm doing better now. I don't know what was wrong with me. Still, I just want to sit in bed and read until I fall asleep.
Tomorrow Daniel Wallace, the author of Big Fish, is going to be in the newsroom, so I'm going with a group of people to eat lunch with him. He's on a book tour, so it should be interesting.
Speaking of books, I'm trying to read as much as possible before the semester starts.
I have three more weeks left in Mississippi. This is my last week writing articles...Next week, I'll be posting online content and working with multimedia (filming videos, creating graphics, etc.). My last week here, I'll be at the copy desk...either reading content for errors or laying out the paper.
To be honest, this whole trip wasn't what I expected, but that's a whole other story.
I'm making a deal with myself this semester. I'm going to take time out for myself every day...even if it's just 20 minutes to read or an hour to work out. I'm going to need it to clear my head. I can already see myself being pulled in so many different directions.
Ryan and I are moving into a new apartment on Saturday. It's a shoebox of a place, but I think it'll be ok. Our cat might go crazy though. He's used to running up and down stairs, wrestling the rug in the kitchen, stretching out in the middle of the living room....he won't have that much space after Saturday.
