The Week in Review (January 11 – 17)

Hello to all!

Okay, so I will be writing posts like these at least once a week, giving people an inside look into my life and who I am.

This week was the beginning of my writing portfolio course in my Master’s program. That, on top of going to work everyday proved to be a LOT for me. I haven’t felt this much pressure since my last semester of undergrad at Morgan State University! At work we had our bi-annual reviews, which I HATE because I’m not a fan of my work being nit-picked. Yes, I do need to learn how to do a better job, but me forgetting to ask the lady at the Winter Outing to put the olives for the salad to the side instead of in the bowl is not my idea of doing horrible job at work.

As for my class, well, it’s too early to tell what kind of student I will be in this class. I will try to do as great a job as I can, but when you have a full time job, still working on a thesis AND dealing with a class, something is going to fall by the wayside. My guess is that something will be sleep :(.

One thing that I actually enjoy is being able to share my works and thoughts with all of you. This website and accompanying blog was created as an assignment for this class, but I am enjoying every second of my time putting this together. As far as continuing this after the class is over, well, only the Man Upstairs knows what’s going to happen. But I really want to keep this going.

Fortunately, this week wasn’t all “work-no-play.” Friday night found me in an actual bowling alley. If you know me you know I stay far away from exercising of any kind. However, it wasn’t so bad when I finally started to bowl and get my technique together. On the other hand, when I woke up the next morning, my wrist was in so much pain that no amount of wine could deter the feeling (oh, yeah. No amount of pain medication as well). As much pain as I was and still am in, I am already planning to go back this Friday, but not without buying a wrist brace first.

Needless to say, my friends and I had fun!

Well, that’s it for now. Thanks for reading!
