NaNo Update #2
I reached 10,000 words yesterday, which was my goal. Despite being feverish and coughing up a lung, I was able to do it. The words keep coming, no matter how much I distract myself with The Question Club on LiveJournal or articles on Jezebel.
As I’ve gone through this, I’ve found that the forums on the NaNo website are in general not very interesting. Or maybe I’m looking in the wrong place? I get tired of the “ME ME ME ME ME” that tends to go on. I know that’s what this blog is about, and I recognize that I myself am guilty of it, but it’s still weird to see on the forums that have nothing to do with that.
My attainable goal for today is another 3,000. If I’m feeling particularly prolific, it would be nice to reach 15,000.
We’ll see.
Tell me what you thought about when you were gone
Since it’s almost Christmas (and on Christmas you tell the truth), I have to admit that the title of this entry comes from one of the lamest and most embarrassing songs from one of the shittiest bands I’ve ever had to admit to listening to, but it does. Here’s to you, The Starting Line.
Today I met with my university supervisor. She briefly interviewed me in an attempt to help prepare me for questions I’ll be presented with when I start interviewing with districts in January. She also handed me all of the things I dropped off last week. My portfolio, my work sample, my unit. I passed everything. I’m completely done with HU, I’m completely done with student teaching, I passed with flying colors.
Truth be told? I’m kind of terrified. Because there is no safety net anymore. I’m done with school, really and truly done, and now I have to be an actual adult.
That being said, I’m enjoying my downtime. I can’t technically do anything until my license is printed, so I’m just hanging out, watching old episodes of The Office, working out a lot, listening to music, thinking moony thoughts about The Boy. T. is in town, too, so I have her to hang out with.
