Summer Update

I’ve been majorly neglecting my blog recently due to summer starting and I thought I would stop by and give a little update on what I’ve been up to.

Since coming home from Maymester and officially finishing my degree at JMU, I started nannying for a family with two girls. I think people would be amazed at how much you can learn from spending all day with two kids. I’ve learned a lot about myself as a “supervisor” and even as a communicator. The only thing is, I forget how much more energy kids have than I do! I often find myself in bed earlier than usual thinking, is this what post-grad life really feels like?

Even though I haven’t been giving this blog as much loving as usual, I haven’t been neglecting my writing. I try to make an effort to write at least once a day. Whether that is an entry in my journal or a quick idea scribbled in my Moleskine, I make sure I’ve been getting my thoughts down on paper (because you never known when a good idea will hit you).

I’m still wrestling with the idea of not going back to school in September, it feels wrong after sixteen years of September equaling school time. But I know that come September, I’ll have some idea of what I’m doing and it won’t seem as scary as it does now.
