Take a look in my planner and you will probably think I'm insane. The truth is my daily organizer is nothing compared to what my consolidated calendar actually looks like. Everything is color coded, put on a weekly to-do list, daily to-do lists, prioritized, and noted as to what time slot it could fit into that day (i.e. before school/work, at lunch, between classes, after school/work). It's a little extreme to say the least, but it keeps me organized.
What can I say? I'm a busy girl, and in order to stay on top of everything I have had to develop a system. It gets me through the week, the day, and sometimes just the hour... but the bottom line is it keeps me sane. Of course, it takes a certain amount of organized acrobatics to make it all work because nothing ever goes exactly as planned - surprise assignments, unexpected interruptions, these I can handle... I even managed to stay on schedule when my car died yesterday! All thanks to the art of the to-do list (and the iDisk on my iphone).
The beauty of my planner is that to me it represents a continuous flow of life. I know my life is hectic and crazy, but it's mine and I love it! The busier things get the more fun I have - partly because I enjoy school and love my jobs, and partly because of how much fun I have doing it all with my roommate Darby who is equally busy.
The problem with my planner is that on May 8 everything goes dark.
No more school. No more work. And three weeks later, no where to live.
To be honest, it is REALLY starting to freak me out. Does anyone else feel like this whole job market thing is less a reflection on the economy and more a secret plot to make new college grads pee their pants looking for a job?
Because that is how I feel. I'm doing everything by the books and I'm just not seeing any results. Granted part of the process is waiting... I hate it. The hardest part is not putting all my hopes on one position or school. I am open to any and all opportunities and I know that it will all work itself out. And I will continue to repeat mantras of optimism until it happens!
