Lack of posts lately….
And the reason for that is because I’ve been INSANELY busy. I am working a f/t job, driving 280 miles every weekend to see my boyfriend, training for my black belt in Tae Kwon Do, AND doing a 12-week refresher journalism night school course every Wednesday.
I’ve made myself rest this Easter weekend and felt a bit weird doing nothing. Which I suppose is good because it means I can do lots of stuff and cope with it, and I’m not a lazyarse. : )
As for the journalism course finished on Wednesday. I’m kinda sad because I’ve met some lovely people who I probably won’t see again. It’s that weird situation where you now know them well enough to care about them, but maybe not well enough to keep in touch. Swapping of email addresses/mobile numbers happened, and the hallowed phrase, ‘Are you on Facebook?’ was uttered, but whether people will actually be able to keep in touch, I’m not sure.
I’m also happy because the course has helped me confirm that I CAN still write - the main reason for doing the course.
My black belt examination is going to be between 17-20 April - date and time is still to be confirmed. It’s in Bristol. Luckily, a girl I train with who is also going for her black belt is originally from Somerset, and her boyfriend is a 3rd Dan, so he’s volunteered to drive us there for the grading, and I’ll be stopping at her house. Something less to worry about : )
After all that is done, I do feel that although I’ve been moaning to all and sundry within earshot about my ’stupidity’ for taking on two big projects at once, come 21st April, I shall be at a complete loss as to what to do with myself after having to concentrate and be on the ball and be organised for so long.
So, distract me - take me out to dinner or something ; )
