And Suddenly She Feels Like Blogging
Why? I don't know. This week I've been assigned a lot of reading on libraries and Web 2.0 and I'm kind of getting the message that a good library science student should be actively blogging and spending a lot of time on Facebook. I'm not sure that's a very good message to get, but I'm going to run with it. Right now my plan is to post here every night . . . now that I've set that down in writing, it seems more real, and like a promise I have to keep. We'll see how it goes.
What's on my mind lately? School, mostly. I'm really finding it interesting stuff all around, and so far I feel like my tuition is money well spent. I like taking my classes online. Some people tell me that they don't think they'd have the discipline, that they "need a classroom," it's much harder to get to know your classmates this way, etc.
I do have the discipline, at least so far, as I'm a very deadline-driven person and I don't like saving all tasks until the last minute. Since my job is rather deadline-driven and I have to prioritize and juggle a lot there, I can see that it's making me a better student. Working only four days a week is helping a lot, too, and fringe benefits of that include my ability to actually take a bike ride at 10 am on a Monday! This whole plan is also good for my health.
The hardest thing about this is answering when people ask me if I am going to be in a play soon, or especially when directors ask me if I am going to audition for their next projects. I can't drop theater activities entirely from my life, and once I've complete my Master's program I plan to dive in to acting again with both feet, but right now . . . it's hard to let these chances pass by. I'm thinking that I could probably handle two classes, four work days a week, and full theatrical participation and still do all right, but I don't want to do all right. I want to excel.
Maybe I can take one-day acting classes here and there, and look out for things like extra work in films that would only take a day or so, and that way satisfy the acting bug without making months-long commitments to projects.
I don't want to have to choose among the things I love.
