So, I did it…I gave them my walking papers. I’m no longer part of a certain organization on campus…and I say good riddance. There was way too much drama…and I hate drama. I love order and structure….and people who check their email on a regular basis. I love organizations where individuals know their place and don’t try to overstep their boundaries. I don’t like being disrespected and I don’t like arguing over silly things; I have more important things to do with my time and energy. Now I can focus on me and my needs. The sad thing is that I really wanted to be part of this organization…luckily I have a really great boyfriend who’s going to take me out to distract me…sometimes this relationship thing really comes in handy!
Over it…Again…
This is a repost…but it is so relevant to what’s going on in my life right now…
I realized today, that I have a problem with saying NO! I really need to try to work on this, as it has contributed to my feelings of being stressed, tired, overwhelmed and underappreciated.
I need to learn to take a more passive role sometimes. I do not always have to be the leader, president, coördinator or committee chair. Sometimes, I can should just be a member, so I can come and go as I please, like everyone else.
Being the president of any organization full of people, you do not care for or think highly of, can be and is very challenging. I feel like every idea or activity I propose, someone is there, looming in the corner to undermine me or interject some negative comment.
I just don’t understand why some people choose to be in organizations…when they know all they want is another notch on their resumé or CV or control…most of the people who are serving in this organization claim they are too busy, overwhelmed or just not interested…again I ask you…why did you volunteer to be on this board? And why would you get upset about tasks being completed, that you were supposed to do and did not do. I’m so over it…sometimes, it is better to know when to step aside or let things go.
The time is now…I’m ready to let things go so I can begin to focus on myself…
I’m back…
Man, it feels good to be typing again for pleasure. Life has been very interesting these last couple of months. Yes, I’m still in a relationship (but honestly, I don’t know for how much longer). I’m learning slowly but surely that relationships are a lot of hard work and I realize that I might not be up for the challenge this time around, but I’m trying. Work and school have really taken a toll on me this year (both physically and mentally) and summer vacation cannot come soon enough. I have a great deal of travel in store for June and July, so I’m excited about that. The “ex” is still emailing me, but I’m learning to delete and not respond to his messages anymore. My circle of friends has gotten smaller (but stronger), which has been a welcomed surprise. My weight-loss goals have gone to the wayside; although I hope to lose a good 20-30lbs before July. We’ll see how that goes…Honestly, I’m just tired and in need of a serious vacation.
So much to share…so little time…
The last two weeks have been insane…school, work, friends and men. I’ve never experienced this type of activity before. Update coming very soon…
Just Another Manic Monday…
It’s just another Manic Monday…I wish it was Sunday…because that’s my fun day (not really, but we’ll roll with it)…and I don’t have to run day….it’s just another Manic Monday!
Ugggg, it’s Monday already? Where did the weekend go? I feel like the week goes by so slowly, but then the weekend hits and it goes by at turbo speed!
Oh well, it’s Monday, here’s to hoping I get through today in one piece. I totally didn’t complete the school work I needed to do. I just didn’t have the energy. I basically went to sleep! So I’m up now at the crack of dawn, doing as much as I can and will continue to do so, tonight and tomorrow morning.
Sometimes, I really hate being in school and having to work at the same time. It is not a good combination. I know at some point something’s gotta give (that’s one of my favorite movies), but I don’t know what and when. Okay, back to my assignment, then the shower and then work, then back to my assignments! Yay me!
