This week has been a whirl wind. Anyone who knows me knows that I like to have a plan. There are days I like to be spontaneous for sure, but I like to have an idea of what lies before me. The vision I saw of what my summer would be has been turned upside down, but I realized after the fact that it was for the better.
Last week I planned on taking a summer class at Ramapo (commuting), commuting to the city for an internship and trying to work as much as possible (for gas money). Then, all of my plans fell apart all within twenty-four hours.
I've been holding it together pretty well through finals and article deadlines, but between plans dissolving and my laptop battery dying out, I had enough. I spent some time stressing and the rest of the time sleeping. Finally, today the clouds parted.
I've realized I didn't even need the course I was planning on taking. I will be taking an easier online course with a professor I've had before just for the credit. Along with the creative writing course, I will be able to intern in New York City three days a week instead of two. I will be able to juggle more online internships. Although the paid internships will sustain my commute and coffee addiction and not much else, I am excited to be getting paid to do something I love. That's what matters.
