I threw myself into work. Lots of running around and keeping busy. One of my tried & true defense mechanisms: Exhaust myself to the point that there's no time to analyze.
That being said, I ended up with a pretty nice schedule at Pagoda, teaching 8-10 hours a day, with decent students. It was a bit tiring and still a split, but manageable.
Then I was offered an opportunity to do something that could further a potential career path after I'm finished with ESL teaching. I was brought in to meet with the Academic Director of Pagoda and a few others to discuss an editing opportunity. A fantastic chance to do both content editing and proofreading for an academic textbook. After everything was said and done, this meant that I was going to be working an additional 30 hours in just 10 days (including a weekend). Yikes. But still. Whoa. And, obviously, I accepted.
Ten days later, with lots of red ink, mini arguments with the boyfriend and a severe lack of sleep attached, my project was finished. And, as those of you who know my editing style, there were lots of commas. I am crazy addicted to commas. Love them. Maybe it's how I talk, but I love knowing when to pause during sentences and just letting information or feelings or just plain attitude sink in.
And there you go. My January can be summed up in a few words:
No sleep. Editing. Boyfriend.
Oh. And I'm an expert banana bread maker.
Until next time x
