I think May burned me out, because I haven’t had any motivation to do much of anything this week, but I have pushed myself through it. So I’m taking a deep breath before I get started on this post, because May was a very bumpy ride for me and it is already the middle of June! Time has been flying by and refusing to give me a few seconds to catch up.
I have made the decision to change a few things in my life which deal with work and school. The amount of focus and time I am supposed to be giving on both is sometimes hard when you have your own personal things going on. I was not feeling the fire being lit from beneath me for a while, but having people around you that support you and congratulate your achievements is a big plus. I decided to organize my time more efficiently as well as gain a study/work partner to get through all those hours of procrastination. For some reason having another person along side me that is also focusing helps the motivation process. I have amazed myself at how much I have been getting done and how much less frequently I become stressed by the end of the week when deadlines are approaching. Moving from programming to marketing and public relations was a big step. It was also a very big promotion that I was ready for at this stage in my life. Being able to work directly with bands and help them get where they want to be is such an amazing experience for me at this point in my life. I know I am going to school to be a doctor, but you never know if I might actually step into the music industry permanently if things keep moving as well as they are.
My scholarship papers have been going pretty well. If medical school ends up being the decided option for me then I will have to find out ways to pay for it rather than out of my own pocket. I have won two so far this year and am continuing to hear back for a certain amount as well as receiving invitations to apply to different colleges, but I still think I am going to stick with Stanford. It has so much to offer and the programs are amazing. I am attending there this summer which starts on the 23rd as well as another college that I have been completing online classes for. I know I am a busy girl, but knowing I am going places is making everything worth it.
Beyond work and school I am making sure to take weekly breaks to enjoy my time hanging out with friends and going on our small adventures. Specifically baseball games, meeting up for drinks, vacations, catching up with friends from high school, surfing, dancing, and hanging out by the ocean (my favorite). The year is halfway through and I have gone through so much these past six months, but I am finding myself happy with the person I have become and looking forward to the person I am still to become. Either way, wish me luck and I hope to keep you updated!
