Life, These Days.
September 5, 2009
I hit the send button for the 5th time in, like, 36 hours. Yeah. I finished five papers in 36 hours. Btw, these papers are not for my academic requirements. I got my second writing job two weeks ago, and orders are coming in. But this time I won’t be doing essay papers for university students. And that’s what I like about this new job. You write (actually, you just have to rewrite as there is a source page) web content and it’s fun because it’s just like writing a movie review or doing a short story summary. Though it doesn’t pay as much as my first writing gig because this one’s local, it’s still good for that money in the bank for “emergency trips.”
However, the thing here is, I’m enrolled. And everything goes crazy when I do work and acads at the same time. Though I still sleep ten hours on these crazy-as-hell-days (thanks to my highly-evolved multitasking and time management skills), I’m drained. Low batt and sleep just can’t recharge me. I don’t know, but there’s something that makes me go and do these things, perhaps the same thing that makes me love chem and swim drunk. I don’t what it is. Haha.
I have 4 writing requirements for a class and I left it all sitting on my desk. I haven’t actually tried to write a preliminary idea for my essay on Rizal, or thought of a subject for the required two poems. And, wtf, I’ve finished five papers in 36 hours, but 2 months have passed and I haven’t even started on my short story requirement. I just don’t feel like doing fiction, damn it.
Life is crazy these days. It’s sick, it’s fun, it’s confusing. But you know what, there are some things that can make you feel good even just for a while… like getting your name spelled right on your Starbucks drink…
