If I was overwhelmed on Tuesday when I last wrote, then I'm floored now. What a whirlwind this week has been. I think I effectively said goodbye to downtime for the rest of the summer, which is not necessarily a bad thing. I got a call on Monday to interview at Egleston, went in on Wednesday for the interview and was offered the job that day, and then yesterday went for a meeting that turned out to be another job offer at Atlanta Center for Eating Disorders. The great thing is that these two jobs won't conflict with each other and are using different skills- one job will keep up my general clinical nutrition skills and the other will keep up my eating disorder specialty skills.
Basically, I'll be finishing up my prereq classes, orienting to my job at Egleston, babysitting 2 days, and moving into my new place next week. I'll take off to CA for a week. I'll come back to work for the next 2 weeks and finish getting all my pre-orientation stuff done for Emory. Then I'll start classes full-time. I'm ready to get this show on the road, but I'm ashamed to admit that in the next few weeks I might miss the some of the downtime that I've almost loathed for the last 2 months. I really try not to be too busy. I really want to be intentional about how I spend my time. Even if I'm not actually that busy, I think it's possible to give the appearance of being too busy, which is not my desire. So I'm confessing my tendency toward having a full-plate, which can easily turn into having an overflowing plate, which is disastrous. This I want to avoid. The challenge will be the obvious- making sure that I'm keeping school a priority and balancing school, work, and play.
