How it is in the real world

Wow. This has been one crazy week. I had my first package for the County Line due this week, whcih actually turned out pretty darn good. There were some writing issues that I need to watch out for, but those will hopefully be fixed next time around.

THIS week, though, I have to say was special in SOOO many ways. I had pretty much everything in my life decide to happen over the past few days, which made getting things done a matter of "I only have this half-hour slot to write this four-page paper... GO!" Granted, that's a bit of an exaggeration, but it's about the feeling I've had.

I woke up this morning, the first day things will be relatively peaceful, and was inwardly moaning and groaning and thinking about how nice it will be when I get a "real job" to not have to worry about anything else while doing a story, when it hit me that I still will. I intend to have a family, a life outside of work, friends, all of which take time, and some of which will certainly run into each other and cause some craziness in my existence! Thinking about it that way, I'm now actually kind of glad this week was as crazy as it was. I do however hope that theNEXT week won't be so nuts.

I'm going to try and start posting my packages from The County Line on here for this semester, but I don't have the first one with me, so keep an eye out for that within the next few days.
