It has been a couple of months since I've posted in this blog. This was going to be my personal blog, but I've decided to use it in my Journalism Technology class.
I was going to keep the title "Direction" since I have been aiming for that the past couple of years anyway. My professor had other ideas, so that is why I changed it to the longer title "Direction and Focus For the Single Mom." Apparently this could have more "hits" on the site. We shall see. I can live with writing about me, and parts of my life while receiving a grade.
Basically, I have been back in school since the end of August, and it seems that I can't function properly unless I'm going twenty different directions at once.
Anyway, I applied for the student blogger position in the PR office, and I was very happy when I got hired. I get experience in my field of journalism and get to meet interesting people. Okay, most of the time they are interesting. :-)
The difference between being in college now and a couple of years ago is that I am living as a single parent now. I have no choice when I have to juggle so many different things.
Aside from my classes and homework, I have my blogger job which I love, I waitress about twice a week on the weekends, and I am in another production of the Nashville Opera. This is all done while making sure the kiddos have everything they need. I try to spend as much quality time with them as I can, but this is sometimes a challenge.
Since this is going to be a series of blogs, I will save the rest for next time, and touch on each subject a bit individually.
Throughout this blogging process I hope to enlighten some of you on what it takes for me personally to find some direction in life. This includes the struggles of being a single parent, a student, and a performer.
