Aug. 19th, 2009 03:08 pmOk...despite the massive bandage on my finger, I am starting to get used to typing. I'm not entirely capable of accuracy, and I'm not as speedy as before, but it's getting better.
I just spent 2 hours doing writing gig work. It took me over 90 minutes to type out an article that used to take me an hour, but I'm not just blaming that on my injury. They also have new article requirements, meaning I have to beef up the articles now. So they'll take longer anyway.
I ended up writing two articles on Ohio State in 2 days. HAHA. Go me! I miss OSU. :( Sometimes I wonder if things would've turned out differently for me if I had chosen to continue there for grad school instead of going to Miami. Then I may actually have a degree to show for all the work I did. But hey, it's not like I can rewind my life and do that over. And I don't regret the friends I made at Miami, or the majority of the experiences that I had there.
Besides, at the time, Miami seemed like the best choice. I needed a change of scenery. And when OSU invited me to their prospective grad student orientation, they served a deli tray. When Miami invited me to theirs, they had a few of their grad students take me (and a couple other prospective students) to a posh cafe. Yes, the way to my heart is apparently through my stomach.
Ah well. I think all this writing about adult education is probably the largest contributing factor to my overwhelming desire to go back to graduate school right now. And the tuition assistance helps too.
Enough rambling. I probably need some time off the computer now.
