Time Spent Alone

I've spent more time alone in the last couple of weeks here in this new apartment than I have ever spent alone in my entire life.  But I think the adjustment is going fairly smoothly, though.  I've just been so incredibly busy and the time that I do get alone just gives me time to get more stuff done or to do other stuff.  

But it's been a crazy couple of weeks.

I've learned how to nap.  We never thought it would happen, but I have successfully taken 3 naps in the last 2 weeks.  And I actually slept.  It wasn't just a doze.  We're talking out completely...fire alarms would barely wake me up.  This is a good thing to learn, considering that 3:45am wake up times have happened in recent days.

I've also learned what it's like to get paid for something that you like to do.  What in the world??  Is this what it's like to have a job that you enjoy?  Sure, it's been a tough transition to working on a team, spending some amount of time in Cubeland (though really not much...) and getting work done in a productive manner, while still attempting to be creative.  Starbucks has even taken on a new glimmer because the internship just jazzes everything else up.  Finding a job as a CNA is still a priority, though.  It's proving to be a little more difficult than what I thought it would be.  I thought that they were in such high demand?  Apparently I am either not cut out for it or I'm shooting way above my head.  Who knows.  But I can't even seem to get an interview.

The one thing that has gotten to me a little bit in the last couple of weeks is my lack of time to write.  My actual paper journal hasn't been touched in a long time either.  And I don't feel like there is really an creative fun thoughts coming to my head anyway.  But maybe that's because it's all being used up on the internship.  I don't really know, but I would really like to creative writer in me to come out.  Or maybe it's because my muse has seemingly disappeared.  

Anyway, I hope something entertaining happens soon, or I will lose what few of you actually read this.  Hang in there...I'm bound to embarrass myself sooner or later.
