Love, Life, Lack of Time

Hello all!

So the weeks I feared have arrived. Everything is currently overlapping.

1.) My EDS 355 class, which is waking up at 5:30am and getting home at 4:30pm, is ongoing.
The plus side? I adore it, I love my kids and getting to learn more about Islam at the same time.

2.) Me the museum curator! When I'm not in Lexington for class, I spend my time at the Appalachian Center on campus assisting to create an exhibit on Appalachian literature. Not on is it really fascinating, it's also very hands on and comes with a lot of freedom, which i completely adore. I'm working with new poetry, fiction, and theater and tying it to artifacts.

3.) The internship for the Kentucky Women Writers conference *http://www.uky.edu/WWK/* which is just one day a week and has me reading new authors and new poets giving me more experience in literature, writing, and hopefully even in education when it comes time for the conference in September.

4.) Saving lives! Yep, lifeguard assessment, training etc is underway. Monday evening I spent two hours in the pool remembering my rescues etc. It was a lot to remember since I got my certification over a year ago. But I did pretty well and I'm excited for the pool to open so I can get to work work. I'll be there full time this summer, plus still doing the internship and hopefully 5 hours a week as a curator still.

So, yep, my life has gone crazy busy, but I can't really complain. I love all the new experiences and new excitement that are happening!

Hope summer is starting off well for everyone else! Es-salaam Alikuum
