Feeling pretty happy today.


Spent some time applying for jobs in the city we want to move to. Five months and I'll be moving back to my home state. I can't even begin to explain how happy and excited this makes me. I've been living in my college town for seven years (undergrad, break then masters) and I'm so ready to leave. I'm really close to my family and I hate being so far away from them. EEK! I'm excited about the jobs I've been applying for. If anything I've learned I truly hate sales. So regardless of my desperation, I've only been applying for marketing assistant/event coordinator jobs.

Pretty sure I won't be graduating in May with my Masters, but I've accepted it. I'll have to repeat a semester but I can do that online whenever I get the chance. I certainly won't be sticking around here for forever. Still finishing this semester so I'll be that much closer to actually graduating.

Having all this free time since I'm not working is hard to be productive. I try not to be lazy, but after being so freaking busy for so long, it's been nice to recoup a bit. My goals this week or to finish cleaning the house and put some more work into my merlin games fic. Happily, my reversebb fic was done weeks ago so I'm not feeling the rush, pressure or craziness of having to finish that one. Games is gonna creep up on me though if I don't start working. It's going to be a challenge to write so I don't want to procrastinate on it.

Also happy news, the canon fest mod was an absolute sweetie and let me go ahead and claim a prompt for fic. It's right up my alley and what I like to write, so it will be a fun fic after my last three fests that have all been a challenge (though still fun). After March my official hiatus will start (I won't be committing to any fests) in an attempt to write more of my original novel. I'll still be around and I'm gonna still write fandom prolly, just don't wanna be committed. So exciting!

In other rl news, I started this new diet called hcg. You take these drops and have to adhere to a really strict diet. Lost five pounds last week so it's going pretty good so far. The food you are allowed to eat is really good, just don't get to have a lot so I've been hungry and grumpy lol. Totally not disclosing my weight lol, but I've really missed looking like I did when I was a cheerleader, so I'm excited to get these extra pounds off.

Sounds like you have many exciting things in store! I am at this very moment NOT going for my first workout of the year, reading LJ when I should go out to Curves. Bad me - won't lose weight that way. :(

Good luck on the weight loss hun!

And I think you totally deserve a little you-time after being busy for so long. Congrats on all the words! I'm still one of the lazy asses running around still trying to finish my reverse bb ;) and don't even get me started on merlin games! lol!

Can't wait to read your fic hun!
