Moving On

I moved to Utah in September of 2005, almost ten years ago. Since I’ve been here I’ve lived in the same duplex. Ten years in the same place. It was the stability I needed after all the moving I did when I was younger. I hate change. I hate it so much that I don’t even like to change my room around. It takes me too long to get back comfortable so it really bugs me. But some change is good even if you hate it.

First Day of My Last Semester

Today I started the first day of my absolutely last day of my undergraduate career. And I can honestly say that I am ready. I’m ready to get my second degree and be done with school. The first time I graduated I wasn’t quite ready, maybe I was unsure of what I wanted to really do even though I’d decided to go to law school. I was unsure of if I would be able to do it that is. I still had that thought in the back of my head about being a writer; my mindset was that I could always be a writer after my career was over. This time I feel like I will have the degree I was meant to have in the first place.

Editor-in-Chief, yay!

Today Christa emailed to tell me that I got the editor-in-chief position of Essais, a literary analysis journal at my school. I’m so excited for this opportunity but also really nervous. Being the editor-in-chief means I am responsible for everything. I am responsible for getting a great journal out by the end of the semester. If it doesn’t turn out well then it is on my head; everyone would be looking at me wondering what went wrong. But even this couldn’t or wouldn’t stop me from taking on this task. This is a great opportunity for me to see what it’s like to run a journal and be in charge. It’s also a chance for me to see how I will respond when I am in charge. I am a quiet person until I get to know you. I don’t step up to lead very often, frankly it frightens me but I’m not going to let that scare me away. I can’t wait to get started and see what this experience brings.
