OK...OK...I get it

Jeez, people. I had no idea so many of you were reading, but I'm glad to know you missed me. I've attempted to post several blogs, but always get distracted. So tonight's post will just be a general update about the goings on of my 20-something life.

I've been a tad busy. Every day has gone a little like this:

9 a.m. to 10 a.m.

• Wake up
• Shower
• Read email
• Make instant coffee

10 a.m. - 11 a.m.

• Catch up with reading from the night before
  
• Read email again
• Read work email
• Freak out about work email
  

11 a.m. to noon

• Freak out about personal email overload
• Consider declaring email bankruptcy
• Turn on sad music
• Start working again
• Cry
  

Noon-till whenever class starts

• Write proposals/reports
• Work on policy projects
• Eat
• Listen to more sad music
  

Whenever class starts until 10 p.m.

• Pretend to listen to professors talk about issues in jargon that I only half understand
  
• Sigh over the never ending workload
• Meet with policy group
• Rant with policy group
• Take subway home and try to avoid creepy men (see previous posts)
  

After this, it usually varies with some combination of talking on the phone, g-chating, writing, reading my mentee's work, working on proposals and trying to save the world.

But yeah. It's been special. Not that I completely hate it. I love writing and I love policy. Combining the two seems to be a good mix for me, but I'm so tired of looking at a computer screen. I mean even when I'm not looking at a computer screen I'm considering looking at one.

These days, I have to clear my inbox every few hours. It's crazy. I have emails from my clients, I have emails from nonprofits, I have emails from my mother and friends. I love hearing from people, but I can't keep up with you folks.

So that's my brief update for the day. I'll get back to y'all with something a little more substantive later. I'm thinking about a topic...It'll most likely have to do with race...since that's been on my mind lately.
