Of work and fanfic
Just when I'd resolved to give up on job hunting for the rest of the summer and concentrate on writing my thesis, I somehow managed to get a job. It's basic cashier work, and I'll be taking random shifts in different grocery stores around the city starting next week. It might mean that I won't finish my thesis in time to graduate by the end of this year, but I frankly don't care. The only reason I was in a hurry to graduate this year was so that I could put my studies behind me and concentrate on job hunting. But if I get work without graduating, I don't mind if my graduation has to wait half a year longer.
I was also planning on writing some more fic this summer, but I'll have to see how much time and motivation for that I'll have in between work and my thesis. Then again, I've noticed that sometimes when I'm really busy, I get extra motivated to use what little free time I have left on useful things (I count fic writing as useful). I remember when I was studying at WWU and busy with homework all the time, I was still motivated to spend more time studying Japanese than was necessary. Maybe it's the sense of accomplishment I get that pushes me to work even harder. On the other hand, whenever I'm not busy, I have no motivation for anything useful. *sigh*
I have a few more Kyou Kara Maou oneshots in the works and a couple of ideas for Princess Tutu that I'd like to start writing at some point. I just really don't want my writer's block to return now that I've finally managed to shake it off after eight years.
