Today was kind of frustrating. I slept in, which was great because I
needed it. Then I kind of wasted my day. It was one of those days
where there was a lot of stuff I wanted to do for school and spent
the entire day not doing that stuff. When I do that, I don't do
anything fun either, because I already feel guilty about not doing
what I should be doing. I do a whole lot of nothing and the time
slowly fades away. Very frustrating.
With my mom introducing the idea of me buying a house, that thought
has become a distraction in my mind. I don't want to think about it
until after I get through the summer but now that the idea has been
released out into the world it is hard to suppress the thoughts. It
is exciting and terrifying and makes me wish I had held out on the
job front and looked for one that paid more money. It is fun looking
at pictures of houses online, even if they are all pretty much out of
my price range. One good thing that has come out of this is that I
learned from my new boss that my paycheck will be the same every
month. My salary will just be divided by twelve, spreading it out
evenly throughout the year, rather than basing my paycheck on the
hours I put in that month. That makes sense and is what I figured a
salary job is like, but they also listed an hourly rate with the
salary, so that confused me.
Tonight I did do one school-related thing. I wrote a long discussion
post for my capstone class. I don't think that there are due dates
on the discussion posts but they are set up to be weekly so that we
are kept on track with the creation of our portfolio. I'm trying to
stick to that weekly schedule.
Tomorrow I want to do more school stuff. The ultimate goal would be
to go through and pick out all of the assignments that I want to put
in my portfolio and note which outcome they align to. I also need to
put more time into my practicum research, looking for more examples
of what other universities are doing for their library orientation.
I read a couple more chapters in my class book today and I'd like to
read at least a couple more tomorrow. I want to be productive
tomorrow. We'll see if the motivation is there.
