here’s hoping

24Sep09

My life has been a bit crazy lately.  Not in a bad way.  I am still a total nerd in the fact that I get up in the morning and I actually look forward to going to my job.  I love it that much.  What is weird, is that I find myself in a surprising situation.  It is ironic that I, the developmentalist, was naive to the fact that transitioning back into life as a full time professional might be unexpectedly challenging.

In many ways, I love it.  I FINALLY have a 9 to 5 job (well, as 9 to 5 jobs go these days) and there are nights when I can come home for the evening and just relax because I am completely calm and at ease.  I am so utterly glad that I don’t hold people’s livelihoods in my hands in any way anymore, and that my job is to hopefully push students toward being someone better and stronger than they currently are.  That is exciting.

I am sure my nature is not going to change overnight and I think I still might take on too much sometimes.  I try to get too much done in a day and then I am disappointed when I don’t finish everything.  I only hope that I can learn to work more intentionally rather than randomly (or, I guess, “smarter, not harder”) and give my best to everything.

I look forward to being in the moment, to doing things on purpose, and to hopefully really having a positive effect on people.
