I have an Associates Degree in Multimedia/Web Design. I don't use it. I manage a corporate bagel joint and the only creative work I do in my work life is shmearing cream cheese on bagels. Occasionally I drizzle some caramel onto a whipped cream topped beverage.
In my "real" life...the one where I can show my tattoos and wear more revealing clothing...I'm highly creative. I write. I collage. I make curtains. I turn old t-shirts into new t-shirts and skirts and the like. I sing in a punk band. I write horrorific lyrics about my landlord and her sociopathic nature. My "work" life and "real" life are very different. And I don't like that.
I'm in the process of creating a new "work" life for myself. I'm back in school and taking onlnine classes. I'm a Psychology major. I want to use my creative mind to help people. I'm an overthinker. And overanalyzer. And overtalker. I need to learn how to abreviate. To punctuate a point without all the narrative. I need to learn how to listen more. Listen better.
I have to keep a journal for one of my classes. Psychology of Personal Awareness. This blog will be my journal for that class for the next 15 weeks. Who knows what it will be come after that.
