Finals are coming up. I'm extremely stressed out. So stressed out, in fact, that I've been experiencing my first real acne breakout. I couldn't believe it when it hit me in February, because I've never really had any problems like this before. I suppose I was just a very lucky teenager, but now that I'm 20... lucky no more.
But it's okay. Exactly two weeks from now, I'll be finished with my Associate's degree! I'll be a college graduate! I'm so excited. I'm feeling a little more confident about my art class now that I've consulted my instructor and I'm extremely confident about my performance in my last communications class, so now it's only a matter of keeping up the consistent work. It's all working out.
Also, thanks to a good friend of mine who referred me (you know who you are), I'm starting to make money. :) I got a job ghostwriting for an online broker and I've been cranking out the articles like nobody's freaking business. I've consistently made an average of $40/day since I started working part-time. Only a few hours a day. At this rate, I'll be making really good money. Good enough, hopefully, to put money away for my move to Los Angeles. I'm hoping to make the move early next year and with this job, I think it'll actually happen. Fingers crossed!
Money aside, this is a job that I really love. Writing in general makes me happy and with my communications degree, this job is absolutely perfect for me. I really think that I can determine what a client wants and deliver a satisfactory product. This is what I've been trained to do these past few years. For the first time in a long time, I feel like I'm accomplishing something. It's really a great feeling.
(For the millionth time, thank you, good friend!)
Life is really good right now. Finals coming up, a new job that I absolutely love... All of the stress from the past few months are really paying off. I couldn't ask for more than this.
And on a final note... Team Raja for the win!
Nobody wins by playing small. Remember who you really are: Fearless and Beautiful - the child of a Shining Star. They try to keep you down, but there's no denying you're a Champion, greatest of them all.
