Update on goals and life

So, I had planned to write a follow up article to my post on Sadness today, but didn't get it put together in time. Anyway, instead, here's an update on the goals i mentioned earlier this week, and how everything's been going.
The Goals

A, Three shifts at work.
I'm back at my retail job for the summer, and I'm so excited to be back. Retail has its frustrations and all, but I always liked this job, and its so good to be back.
---One shift down, two to go.

B. Finish Paper and email to professor.
Due to circumstances beyond my control, I had a few things from school follow me home and I would love to have all of it completely under wraps by the end of this week.
---DONE!

C.Four loads of Laundry
I may or may not have allowed my laundry to pile up the past couple of weeks. Time to get on that.
---Three loads down. one to go. Almost done!

D.Finish blanket
I've been working on crocheting a blanket for, well..eons. It ends this week.
---Progress is being made, but I still have a ways to go.

E. Blog every day.
I haven't written regularly in a very long time. Time to get back into the swing of writing, and what other way than blogging every day?
---So far so good. Third day in a row of blogging everyday. I have a lot on my plate tomorrow, so I'm not sure what I'll post tomorrow, but I'll do my best to have something ready.

When the Writing gets tough..

Lately, my muse has been missing. I'm not sure when it decided to leave me and dry, but I've been on a search for my muse for a few days now. I am restless and the muse will not be found. For months now, I've been knee deep in edits and rewrites for my second book, Underground, which was originally released last year, but after being a complete and utter flop, I pulled it from the digital shelves and embarked on a harrowing journey of rediscovering who these characters are and what they will accomplish. I have now added 10,000 words to the original story, added and removed characters and done a better job of building the story itself. I know its better than it was, I know it is. So why do I look at my document and think it could be so much better? Answer: I am a human being, and humans seem to do a really good job of doubting themselves, even when they are doing a legitimately good job. We look at our creations and we OCD them to death. Just once, just ONCE, I would

The Immersion Method

Several things occur to me when I think about the method I'm using to learn French. The first-I'm never going to succeed. The second-I think I've heard of this before.  The method I'm talking about is the Immersion method, meaning that you basically 'immerse' yourself in the language, surrounding yourself with almost exclusively that language, and you learn out of necessity. This is the same way that children learn their first language, by doing. It  sounded promising, so I decided to give it a shot. I switched my facebook page to french. Bold move, yes, but desperate times call for desperate measures. In addition, I found french episodes of my favorite cartoons ever in the history of the world-courtesy of the wonder known as youtube, of course.  In order to learn a language by the immersion method, you almost have to forget about thinking about anything else and only focus on the language.  This reminded me of Christianity. Why? well, think about it. In

I will live for my child

 “I would die for my child.” A well-known, often said sacrificial statement. I didn’t really know how my fierce love for my child would manifest until the first time she was extremely upset and I didn’t know why.  Readers, I would have cut off a finger to console my baby.  I would die to protect her.  Both are strong, love-filled sentiments. And both, God willing, are unnecessary.  But there’s a daunting task that is absolutely necessary. At times it needs to be a conscious decision. Sometimes it’ll require taking care of yourself so that you can better care for your child. Sometimes, for some, it will literally seem harder to do than to die for your child.  It’s living for your child.  Postpartum depression can sneak up on anyone, and I’ve heard heartbreaking stories of just how deeply it affects moms. Good moms. Awesome moms It’s too early to tell for me, but unfortunately, I have almost every risk factor there is. But I also have a rocking support system and wonderful physicians loo
