...something different.
I ordered all my books today for my Children's Literature course this fall.
A funny thing happened. I realized: I am seriously excited to be in school again. Despite the fact that it's all online and despite the fact that it's just a few random classes and despite the fact that I know I'll be overextending myself a bit... I am just so EXCITED.
I don't know how I ended up in management. I much prefer to have specific tasks assigned to me than to be the one assigning them. I like to get stressed about completing a paper and procrastinate and bitch and moan and stress more and then turn in something I'm not that proud of and still pull off an A-.
This past Friday night I flew to Florida to see my family for a far-too-short long weekend. At work that day, Cathie was annoyed with me for not seeming excited about the trip. And I was subsequently annoyed with her for making me even more aware of my lack of emotional presence. It's one thing to feel a little bit apathetic, but to be made aware that it's obvious? Ugh.
So, to really feel anything powerful would have been a relief. To feel something good, well that's just a bonus.
