This summer has been one that I could write a book about, and I've only been on break for about four weeks. I'm going to start blogging again pretty heavily because I have several projects unfolding that I'm working on aside from beginning to look/apply to Ph. D. schools, which seems rather surreal to me, but I'm saving that for a later post.
I remember my mom always saying, "When it rains, it pours."
I try to conceptualize it a little differently when it comes to my work. Recently I've flipped some sort of metaphorical light switch inside that keeps the lightbulb burning when I get stressed out and the work piles up. Two jobs(in two different states) later- I'm still trying to work on all of the paper proposals, abstract submissions, school research, and work for my fellowship. It seems like some days I'm in overdrive, but I always do my best work that way... I have to stop and remind myself to take it all in once in awhile. I am after all doing work that I love doing and I'm trying to enjoy it in the process....,[ and the lightbulb I envision in my head is the up to date energy saving spiral corkscrew shaped one rather than the old round incandescent kind--a completely irrelevant thought, but yeah I went for the ten dollar kind.]
I'm also adding a very important chart. This reminds me that everything is in flux. Nothing(not a person or career) is hashed out in a short amount of time. Not even the traditional and what I consider to be an American Institution... The Crayola Crayon colors..This is proof that time changes everything, and most often only serves to make it better.
