So I’m graduating in two weeks. I will be at home for
Christmas break, finished with school forever, and officially moved out of
Provo. And it’s kind of freaking me out.
Fortunately, I am not without a plan. Thanks to a great
recommendation from my awesome editing professor, Brother Gardner, I will be
starting as the Editorial Intern for the Curriculum Department for the Church
of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints starting in January. The internship goes
through April. I don’t have a lot of details, but I know I will learn a lot and
be working with some great people. I will be staying with a family friend in
Sandy, so I’m not really going far. It’s nice to have something to look forward
to. Graduating is much less scary when you have even a temporary job lined up.
So there, I’ve officially announced it. Fingers crossed that I can announce
something else come April.
I’ve had this fantasy that once I graduate I will have time
to do the things I’ve always wanted to but haven’t had time while in school.
Things like read, exercise, stay up to date on social media (don’t look at my
Twitter or LinkedIn accounts because they are pathetic), play the piano, learn
how to play the guitar, sleep, eat at least one normal meal every day, shower
regularly…you get the point. That includes writing in my blog, which I
obviously haven’t been doing regularly. I really like writing. Or maybe I just
like talking about myself. But I’m afraid that reality is going to burst my
bubble and I won’t have any more free time than I already do when school is
over. So this is my pledge that I will try to be more frequent. It’s in writing
so that I’m even more lame if I don’t do it.
So, if you’re one of the few who actually reads my blog and
enjoys it, look for more posts in the future. And if we’re lucky, they might even
be hilarious and entertaining.
But right now I’m going to focus on writing my final papers,
creating my online editing portfolio, packing, moving, updating the handbook at
work, hiring and training my replacement, and listening to Christmas music.
Until I finish, watch this video and picture me trying to dance
like her. Because I definitely have.
I'm not that grown up.
