Working weekend
Wow! What a great weekend! And you want to know why? Well, it’s because I spent most of it in the homeland working toward three of my goals. And because I know you want to know, here’s what I accomplished!
Goal #1: To be blissfully happy
- Socialised with real people in the real world (What? Facebook isn’t the real world?!)
- Did some drawing and writing and relaxing and stuff
- Went on a 5-mile training run with my nephew
Goal #2: To earn my master’s degree
- Worked on my personal statements for my applications
- Sent a current draft of my statement to new reviewers in the hopes of a fresh reference point
- Visited with one of my undergraduate professors who will act as a reference for my applications (which is a double score because she’s also a friend and I got to have a lovely visit with her!)
- Gave some thought to a collaborative writing project I’m (meant to be) working on
- Scribbled notes about characters for a potential book I want to take off the back burner
- Had lunch with with my old (as in former, not elderly) high school English teacher who helped to further spark my desire to get back into writing (but she may not know she did that!)
So, Yay! for me! I feel as if I’ve accomplished so much which is great because I had a fun time doing it. But now I’m tired. Very, very tired.
Well done you. that’s a whole lot of work for one weekend. No wonder you’re tired!
fingers crossed for the college application!!!
PS love the drawing too. I was similarly inspired tonight. Actually, more accurately I was inspired on Saturday when I bought myself a bunch of lovely sunflowers but it was only tonight I actually got round to getting out the pencils and paper to have a quick sketch!
