Wow, has it already been three weeks since my last entry? I have my laptop back, thank goodness, and I am busy! Summer will be over tomorrow, and then begins one of my favorite seasons: fall!
Anyways, so much is going on but at the same time not much. I missed a weekend going up to see my bro and baby Sebastien because I am busy working on my article and fact-checking someone else's. And man, do magazines ever need a fact-checker! This dude is really sloppy and I'm finding all kinds of mistakes. This is great experience and I am so glad that I've taken on the internship, but at the same time I'm dreading going over his article with him!
I'm also starting to plan what I'm going to do next once the winter issue is done. I'm expecting that my editor won't let me stay on for ever, and in fact it's probably a good idea for me to move on to another magazine. At the same time I'm not so sure that another magazine will let me do this part-time, but maybe my editor can pull some strings for me! The best thing would be if she could actually give me a part-time job, but I won't cross that bridge until I get there.
Other than that, the first draft of the chapter for the tourism guide is in, and that editor seemed pleased with it. i can't wait to see the final product with my name in print! I've got tons of neat book launches and events I can go to, and I'm doing tons of work for the magazine too. So much fun! If I ever forget how much fun this is, please flick me.
I am also looking for another job... We'll see how that goes. All I can say is even though I'll be happy to move on, I'll still miss helping the students and feeling like I've made a difference in someone's life. I'll still continue doing that, but in a different, way, I guess.
Anyhoo, procrastination time is over. One more thing though: Delna's back from Africa after three years and has brought an Irish boy with her! Maybe I should go there and come back married or something too!
Ok, tty all later,
Ceebie
