Haven't been around much lately.


The whirlwind of finishing up our last semester of school really kicked my butt. Planning a pinning ceremony with virtually no help wasn't my idea of fun, let me tell you. Add that to the pressure of wether or not we will be offered a job, needing to study for the licensing exam, HOPING and PRAYING that we pass that, finding out that our program director (much revered) unexpectedly passed away less than a week before our pinning ceremony... well, lets just say that saying I've been stressed doesn't really accurately describe it. Add also that I got very ill during all of this and, I just wanted to crawl under a rock and die. I did have a break down moment but I think any normal person would. 

I'm happy now, though, because I'm well again and all the school responsibilities and obligations are behind me. Now my focus is on studying for that dreaded exam,  updating my resume, and getting applications out there to every single place I can! 

Wish me luck. I can sigh a little bit of relief at this point but it's not over yet!

Too much on my plate but I can't help it!


It's a disease I think. I am not a T.V. watcher - never really have been. I CAN watch but mostly if I'm interested in T.V. it is for one or two shows only. However, I am addicted to the World Wide Web! I just recently joined Twitter and I have to admit I don't really understand the point of it yet. I have a Facebook account (along with a long list of other things: YouTube, Meetup.com, Dogster, many yahoogroups and lets not leave out my beloved Blogger) and there you can post what you are doing at any given moment too, but that goes along with a huge network of people with profiles and photos, videos, links, and all kinds of other gadgets. If I understand Twitter right, it's like the Facebook "what are you doing right now?" except that just it - nothing else. As if I need something else to take up my time and attention?

I'm drawing nearer to the end of my schooling. It is that time to buckle down and hit the books hardcore in preparation for taking the National licensing exam for ARRT. It is said that I need to devote and average of one hour per day until I take my exam sometime after May 14th. There is a lot of procrastination in me... and I'm easily distracted. I'm debating on wether I need to take a hiatus from my beloved WWW.

~sigh~

The way I see it, I'm still going to need to take "breaks"... but I may just be enabling myself. ;-)
