As far as everything else goes, I slipped up a bit this week. This is probably prime time for people to start forgetting about their new year's resolutions, and it was also time for me to regress a little. The important part is that I recognized it and got back on track. This weekend I mapped out a workout routine for myself and this morning I put in an hour of aerobics and lifted some weights. This evening I managed to finish all of my classwork and tomorrow I will attempt to get more done.
I'm still as confused as ever about my career path. I guess the reality is that I'm scared I'm not good enough to be a full time journalist, and I'm also afraid I'm not going to like it if I do get that opportunity. The traditional venue (newspaper journalism) appeals to me but only for free-lance writing. I suppose specialized versions of it such as column writing appeal to me as well, but I know I'd still have to put up with the grit work of being a general assignment reporter first. Ironically I am still applying for GA jobs so I guess I'm trying to keep it as a possibility. I feel like getting to work on my body has been a lot easier than mapping my career path, but I'm not giving up on it. I'm going to give my mind some rest for the evening and try to get myself organized (career-wise) again tomorrow morning.
My commitment for tomorrow morning is to do something to forward my relationship with the newspapers I write for and to spend some time working out one way or another.
Bonne Nuit and Bonne Chance!
