[huit] the end of the winter sun
Feb. 9th, 2012 05:54 pmWhy am I stressed? says the full-time student with things to worry about like a social life, money, food, grades, family, dance classes and now not one but two part-time jobs.
I officially got my first job as a translator! I love it. It's for the university, still, and it's just one day a week during the semester (until I graduate), but I'm so very excited about this! Actually, it's one day in the office, and taking up contracts when I have time. Which should at least be once a week, preferably on office days, of course. It's unpaid work, but the pay will be plenty in experience, contacts, and just getting my name out there, for what that's worth (hint - a lot).
And of course, added boni credits, no class time or books required. At this rate I'll be able to graduate in 2013, if everything goes well. Real life, I am running to you, real fast.
In fact, I've made a semi-profesionnal twitter account, if anyone wants to add me!
Busy days, but I'm certainly getting enough sleep, for once in my life - going to bed at 11 sharp on week days. "You know," laughs my mom when I tell her, "I know it may seem weird and hard to accept, but a large part of the population can live very well with this condition. It's called 'a healthy sleep schedule', look it up!"
Still, I have absolutely no reason to complain about my life right now. Being busy helps with seasonnal depression, and I can stay focused. I have excellent grades, I'm in love with translation and honestly believe I've found my calling (but we'll see - after all I still have to become an actress, a doctor of history, open up a café, and live jet-set across Europe). My relationship is going well (boyfriend is in a much better mood now that his office got bigger), and we're looking at condos we could be moving into this summer. The 'winter sun' is coming to an end, and the weather has been gorgeous.
And of course, in a month, I'll be sitting on a beach in Punta Cana, getting some much needed warmth and sunlight.
More urgently, though, getting my hair cut tomorrow, because I can't see a thing.
Bonus JGL singing in french! his accent's great, too.
