In the Midst of it All

The blog posts might be a bit scarce this week. There's some family stuff taking place that has me a bit down. And I prefer not to write blog posts when I'm down because then they come out sounding melodramatic. (I think this one might even be on the verge of that.)

But, I did want to remind you of a few things coming up this month:

1. Around Charleston - The theme for the month is still Around Charleston and you will be getting to see much more of my lovely hometown in the coming weeks. Consider it your free virtual tour.

2. Contest - That's right! The first contest of the new year for the blog. Keep an eye out for a contest post with lots more details. I've got some interesting things to throw your way.

3. February Playlist - Don't forget that you're getting a say in the playlist for February. Visit this post for more details.

That's today's post. I'll keep you up to date as more exciting things come to the blog.

MIA: Where'd I go?

I fully intend to resume more regular blog postings tomorrow. However, until then, I wanted to give you a little peek at the crazy schedule I've been trying to adjust to. Hopefully, this will give you a better understanding of why I have been missing in action these past few days.

This is why:

Mondays & Wednesdays
6am: get up
6:30am: drive to work
7am - 3pm: work
3pm: drive to college/eat
4pm - 6:45pm: class
6:45pm: drive to tutoring
7:30pm - 8:30pm: tutoring
9:00pm - 9:30pm: drive home
9:30pm - 12am: shower, eat, homework, relax


Tuesdays & Thursdays
6am: get up
6:30am: drive to work
7am - 3pm: work
3pm: drive to college/eat
4pm - 6:45pm: class

7:15pm - 12am: shower, eat, homework, relax


Fridays

7am - 3pm: work

Plus family issues. ):

This is all the update post I can muster at the moment, so goodnight followers.

Getting Back to the Groove of Things

I'm going to have to apologize in advance. The posts this week are going to be slow, short, and few & far between. I started back to grad classes yesterday (I'm taking 4 this semester). Combine grad classes with forty hours of work and two hours of tutoring a week and you'll understand why things are slow this week (I hope). I should be good once I get used to the crowded schedule. (:

Please bear with me through this transition. I'll greatly appreciate it!!
