Work/ School Balance

This week is exam week at school. Most students would be hitting the books and working their behinds off, getting ready. For me, it’s a really nice week. I have a short story and a query letter due, but no exam for one class. For the other, I have to show up, receive feedback from the teacher, and read from my story. I know, both of those sound horrible and tons of work, but I think I can handle it. So, I’m sitting here, procrastinating and writing this. I think I needed a break and I finally got it.

I have been running for 7 days straight until today. I had work and school last week, then this weekend I had Ocean City Comic Con. While it was a great weekend and I enjoyed it, I was still tired. So, last night I put on my sweatpants and watched a Christmas movie. Today I took Scarlett to get her nails trimmed, and I’m still in my sweats on the couch.

This week is a vacation from work. I have a long list of things to do, including taking Scarlett to the vet tomorrow, scheduling my foot surgery, shopping for necessities, and taking care of things around the house. I do plan on relaxing a lot though. I’m even going to look at potential publishers and agents. So, a fun-filled week, but I do get to sleep in a lot of the days.

I’m going back at it to rework a few things on my story and write my query letter for school, then I’m officially done with my Fiction Workshop class.
