Standards & Expectations....

So...I just finished my first assignment for my writing course I began. Yep, I finished one course and took on TWO more lol. I just love being busy and this way, at least, I am doing something worthwhile...although, I can feel the ever building stress begin. Is this how it's always going to be?

How do those uni students handle full time work and studying as well? Is there an off switch because I find myself thinking about how I'm going to be writing my next assignment all day long and thinking of ways that would better my writing!

Argh!!! I had my first day at the Super User conference today at work and actually had a really good day. It went quickly and I have my presentation tomorrow morning :-/
The girls are lovely and everyone was really fun and energetic. I know what I'm talking about so I should be fine...right? haha...Oh...we shall soon see if I have a career in presenting! lol

Anyway, so back to my course. I took up Romance Writing because it's the type I find most difficult. Maybe it's my bitterness towards relationships and "is there really a perfect one?" but I just can't seem to like anyone. I do love my character Xavier. He's my ultimate but for some reason, I find myself becoming jealous of his love interest in Redemption. I think that may be the hardest part of writing because I secretly want to be her...I want to be the one he falls for and protects with his own life.
Is there such a guy that exists or is this all an elaborate scheme my brain is making in order to protect itself from falling for a loser again?
Either way...my standards have skyrocketed and I doubt anyone can withstand the new expectations....

Adios amigoes!

Until next time...
