So much has been going on the last few months it feels as if my head is swimming. From family drama, to new work duties, abusive people and matters of the heart.
Family drama will stay in the family. What I will say is this: Sometimes I wonder if some people will ever grow up...
A colleague of mine was re-deployed to another institution and as a result, I have had to step in to take on some of her duties. This is both a good and bad thing for me - good, because I am now putting my university education to practical use (yes, for the first time) and bad because it is soooo much work!
The school I work for is having a fund-raising carnival this year. In less than two weeks, in fact. And I have been roped onto the organizing committee. I've been getting quotes for security and sanitation, organizing radio time for my principal, but my main responsibility now is selling novelty and food stall to business people. This has been somewhat of a nightmare. I am organized but one skill I am yet to learn is how to deal with abusive people. I have to consciously remind myself not to scold or swear.
And...just this weekend past, I made the courageous (or stupid) decision to let someone know how I feel about him. Okay, so I was too chicken to meet him or call and used print to do it, but I did.
And we'll let the chips fall where they may.
I'm exhausted.

I forgot to mention that in addition to all of the above craziness, I enrolled for a Journalism course.
Lots of writing, lots of deadlines. Jean (our lecturer) looks like a sweet lady...but she is quite the
task master! Still, am LOVING it and in just two weeks, I can already notice a difference in my writing.
