Holy Crap, It’s September?

(via)

So apparently I didn’t blog for the entire month of August. I didn’t realize this until about seven days ago, and by then I just decided to let it go. Do I have an excuse? Nope. Am I just gonna go on like it didn’t happen? Yup.

So September is here, and I couldn’t be happier!

Students came back to school yesterday, which means my job will be much harder for the next week or two, but then take a drastic turn and slow way down. This summer was so busy and as nice as it was to have empty labs to work in, I can’t wait to spend less time lugging equipment around, and more time removing viruses! Since I’m on my own this year, instead of trailing my co-worker while training, I’ve decided to make some changes. This year I’m going to focus on meeting and getting to know the teachers and administrators in the district. I’m not going to eat lunch at my desk anymore, I’m going to mingle, and I’m excited to see if I click with anyone!

With September comes the beginning of my favorite season. This has been one of the hottest summers ever in Erie, and I can’t wait for it to be over! Of course, I will be complaining about snow all too soon, but for now, for this lovely month and most of the next two, I can enjoy cool breezes, pretty trees, pumpkin pie, and my fall wardrobe! I cannot wait to bring out my sweaters, scarves, boots, and tights! Sadly, I’m sure going to miss being able to wear tights to work. Can’t exactly risk it, considering how often I’m found crawling under desks!

Most of this summer was spent focusing on others. Everyone seems to be getting married and having babies! Since I’m not getting married, or having babies, I feel like I’m missing myself in a way. After completing Stratejoy, I had every intention of spending time on me and what I want in life, but instead my desires got lost in the shuffle of everyone else’s excitement. September will revolve around the last three weddings of the year, so I don’t plan on having a chance to change much this month, and October will be full of travel, but I swear at some point this year, I will focus on me!!

Oh, and just to update for those who care to know, I didn’t register for school this semester like I planned, because I’m still waiting on the outcome of that other little idea I proposed. I’m getting pretty antsy on that one, in case you were wondering. I’ve decided for sure, that if I don’t have other plans by the end of October, I am definitely registering to start school in December. (The school I want to attend is on Trimesters, so that’s when new classes start for them.) I guess we’ll see how that goes!

How was your summer? And what are you most looking forward to this fall?
