(no subject)
It's been quite awhile since I've attacked this page and put down my own thoughts. I've been keeping up on everyone else's journals, but haven't really written one of my own. It's the start of the new year, and for the first time in I don't know how many years I didn't do my end of the year re-cap. It's not that there's nothing that happened over the course of the last year worth reflecting on, it's just that I feel like I've done that as events were taking place.
New Year New You. That's usually the general idea, right? So I've been trying to get more things together. I'm freelancing for an online blog (to be magazine) called Organic Online which launches on Sunday. It's good to start writing more again and hopefully it will lead to being paid to write sometime soon. I'm also applying to grad school for Math Education. I'm not sure if I'm going in the fall or next spring yet, but I can always deferr back to January if I get in now.
Other than that not much else. I'm still adjusting to live up in CT. The commute is interesting. I sleep for the most part, but I also find myself getting a lot of things accomplished on the way home as well. I did most of my Nanwrimo writing on the train ride home, which was major, and now I find myself reading a lot more or writing for the blog on the train as well. I need to start getting more into news, but for some reason oped comes so easily. I guess it's just in my nature to be critical.
I think I'm one of the few people who aren't going crazy with the whole economic crisis. I know my 401k is nothing, but I'm not retiring for the next quarter century so I'm not stressing. I don't have massive loans or credit card debit so that's not a concern. But my take home is pitiful and I will be at some point in time if I want to continue to better my life. So it's either a new position or grad school. The ultimate would be both (closer to home job ant part timing gs). But we shall have to wait and see how that goes.
