on and on

I'm starting my second week of work and the overwhelming feeling is slowly going away. Granted, I have yet to take on tasks but I will tackle that as it comes. The first week was full of learning (which I'm still in the process of doing --and will continue to learn as I move along. can be seen as good and bad at the same time but I need the challenge). I have taken so many tests and I have yet to take the mother of all tests scheduled for next Monday. I hope I don't fail, else I'll be the first in my office to do so. That would just be plain awful if that happens so study it is and I must to pass the yucky exam and certification.

The view from my office is great. I have a nice panoramic view of Georgetown though it is partially blocked by an unoccupied office building. Hmm, I wonder if they're gonna tear apart the building and build a "not-so-high" one in place of it. Now, that would be optimal.

Anyway, things are going well thought it would be wonderful if I get paid soon but alas, we only get paid once a month at the beginning of each month. What that means for me is I don't get paid until December 1st. I guess that's good so I'll have money to buy gifts but I'm struggling in the meantime. Not that I'm broke broke but would rather not tap into my savings if I can avoid it...we shall see.

Now tell me something --what's with people using the words twice in a row to imply a different or a varying degree of meaning. For example --when I used "broke-broke" I meant that I wasn't entirely broke. Or when people say, "He's not really my boyfriend-boyfriend," he's just my boyfriend. What exactly does that mean? Can we not think of other adjectives to describe our thought? We DO have more words in our dictionary --we ought to use them, don't you think? I'm not really complaining complaining but just complaining a bit. HA! *sad* Chanelle would not be very happy if I were to use this type of speak --being an english aficionado and all.

Oh so I haven't talked about my guitar class for awhile, I don't think so let me give you an update on that. I had a great lesson last week. Though Wes wasn't very helpful with this little problem I have with a song I'm trying to write. I can't seem to figure out where to go. The lyrics are half written which, I have to say may change so we shall see. But Wes has aptly given me encouragement to actually practice for as my former piano teacher says, I have "lots of potential" that I have yet to capitalize on. Or maybe just build on for capitalizing means I would receive some monetary benefit ... or would the benefit mean any positive benefit? Anyway, but the point is, I need to work on it and understand many things in music specifically theory so that I can apply it to my compositions.

The real task right now is finding the right balance to the many endeavored I have. Working out (which I haven't done in about 3 weeks --how sad), guitar playing, work, and church activities. I might have to take out the TV time for I would rather read. I'm into the reading mode these days which I have to say is a lot more entertaining than what we have on our television. I move on then to make myself a better person by following through with my plan. On and on I go...I hope I don't trip but I know I will since I'm flawed and not at all perfect. What's a gash on your knee, right? Have a great day! *smooches*
