A Long Time

I kind of feel out of touch with this blog. It's been almost a month since I've written last. That was when I took a short weekend trip to Minneapolis, which I never gave a followup on the outcome. Has my life changed so much since then that I don't have any time to update a blog? Well, maybe the rhythm has changed a bit.

I guess the biggest change is that I hold five jobs, five rather eclectic jobs. The job requiring the most hours is for ResCare Inc., a company that takes care of people with mental and/or physical disabilities. The gig begins at 10pm and ends at 7am in the morning Monday through Thursday, my first time working graveyard in my life. At first I imagined that working at this time of night would be unbearable, since I enjoy my sleep so much, but it is actually not so bad. Besides, my work mainly is to ensure that the consumer is okay (so I pretty much just sit on the couch reading and watching films the whole night). My goal is to stay awake.

My laundry list of other jobs include leading worship at my church. I also teach Chinese on Monday afternoons at a local elementary school. On Tuesdays I teach piano lessons for three young aspiring pianists. And on Thursdays I am a mentor at an after-school program for teens who need direction in making healthy life choices. Every once-in-a-while, I mow a lawn for friends from church. So, as you can see, things have changed a bit. 

On top of that, I am taking 6 credits, two classes, at Valparaiso University. Life is a bit different, but I'm rolling with it. Tomorrow, some friends and I are going to be checking out the film Call and Response and seeing the Blue Man Show in Chicago. So, as you can see I'm still having a bit of fun too.
