I’m bummed out today. I

I’m bummed out today. I hate that everything seems to pile up at once, and I hate that I can’t always keep committments. I hate that I can’t do everything. I hate that I haven’t run since my great 5K last Thursday because I keep talking myself out of it. I want to make everyone happy, but I want to make me happy too.
There’s a sim tonight, my last chance to get some experience before my cert qual next week. I’m not actually working tonight, since it is someone else’s final certification. He should see a lot of good cases, a lot of cases similar to what I will see next week. I’m going to watch like a hawk.
Since I’ll be here late, I slept in. I’ve never done that before; usually when I have sims that go until 9:00 or 10:00 at night, I go in at my normal time and just build up extra hours. Today I needed the sleep. It was worth it.
As a side note, if you’re interested, there’s a short article about me in the November issue of My School Rocks! Magazine, a publication that goes out to all K-5 students in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg (North Carolina) school system, which is where I did elementary, middle, and high school. It also goes out to teachers, administrators, and other Charlotte-area people. My mom still teaches there and sent in my name for their “Where are they now?” series. It’s a cute article, and hey, you can see what I looked like in 3rd grade.
