Still In Adjustment Mode

So last week I started my internship with Paramount. And I love it. It's my first experience with Publicity, but it's so different from what I've been doing and there are so many new things and opportunities and I love it already. However, since I work 20 hours a week, in addition to web editing The Ram and take classes, it's quite an adjustment. A slow one.

Believe it or not, Mondays are my favorite days. I only have one class, and it's at 2:30, with a teacher I really like. And that's it. I can go to the gym and drink coffee and relax and do work in the morning, and have time to run errands and do more work in the afternoons and evening.

Tuesdays I work from 9 until 6, meaning that I need to wake up around 6:45 so that I can make it to work from the Bronx, and I don't usually get home until 7, and by the time I go to the gym and eat dinner, I'm starting my work at 9.

Wednesdays I wake up around 8 and upload the week's stories to The Ram website, and then take the 10:30 Ram Van to Lincoln Center, where I have class from 11:30-2:15, and then 6-8:45. Not only am I there all day, but I also have a super awkward break between classes, where it's illogical to go back to the Bronx. It is nice, though, to use this time to do my Lovelyish posts, and catch up on other work. And sometimes shop.

Needless to say, I don't go to the gym on Wednesdays.

Thursdays, though not quite as long, they do fluster me. There is a lot of rushing from place to place involved. I work from 9-1, and then have to hop right on the D train to the Bronx for class at 2:30. And then I go to the gym. After that, it's nice to relax and (maybe) do some work, and try to get a good night sleep.

Fridays are full work days, from 9-6 again. By the time I get home on Friday nights, going out is the last thing on my mind. I'm always just about ready to collapse.

So, my apologies for the long, rambling, complaining post, but I'm still struggling to adjust to my routine. I love being busy and having lots to do and feeling like I'm getting a lot done, but it's also hard for me to find my groove and not be completely exhausted.

But! This weekend I'm hopping on a bus back to Rochester to see Andrew before he heads off to Atlanta next month. I can't wait for a teeny little break. But that also means I have to get my work done before I go. Tears.

 I can't be the only one trying to conquer a hectic schedule, right?
