In My Life
August was a crazy month for me. I quit my job in preparation for becoming a full-time Library and Information Sciences grad student starting this September. My priorities for the indefinite future will be classes and finding a part-time job. And blogging, too.
Immediately after finishing my job, I went to visit relatives for an extended weekend. Then the following weekend my boyfriend and I traveled to a college friend's wedding; she's actually getting married today!
All in all, I'm a bit surprised by how much reading I got done. But a couple of plane rides and a bit of free time helped tremendously. As did participating in ARC August - I'll have a recap of my challenge posted early next week.
So much change is a bit scary, but I'm trying to learn to embrace all the uncertainties and maintain a positive attitude. After all, change is exciting, too.
How was your August?
I loooove that quote from Attachments--so beautiful.
ReplyDeleteMy August has been full of changes too, Amanda! I just moved into college and--wow!--what a change. I'm a creature of habit but embracing change has definitely been a task I've had to get used to this past week with orientation. I hope your September is even more fruitful! :)
