The Days Are Packed

Written on 9:36 PM by Jack B.

I can’t remember when I’ve been so occupied as I’ve been the last few months. Not busy, mind you, but occupied. My mind, my body, my life. Blogging has been almost non-existent, actual internet use rare. Extra responsibility at work + preparing for this coming semester has taken all my time and when I do go online...let’s just say I’m subscribed to almost 200 blogs on Bloglines and it just takes all my time to read them.

Each time I tell myself things will slow down...but they haven’t. I also still haven’t adjusted to it being 2007. 2006 went so smoothly I didn’t want it to end. By December of 07 I should have fufilled all the requirements for my Master’s. What then? Go for my Ph.D? Take some time off and travel to Europe? Settle down and finally grow up? So many decisions and I no longer can keep putting them off.

Alas, all my days are packed and the Spring semester starts this week. I’m taking a "Teaching College English Composition" course and will be a Teacher’s Assistant in an Undergrad class (ah, those were the days!). After years of avoiding T-E-A-C-H-I-N-G I’ve decided to see what it’s like. I’m hopeful I can get through this period without any disasters. My fingers are crossed.
