A Foggy Morning in Northern California ] August 27, 2005
Good Morning. Here's what I'm dealing with today. I am busy. This fall, I am working full time, I am teaching one night a week at the Corcoran College of Art and Design, I am doing this MBA program (with weekly assignments due requiring about 30 hours a week), and continuing work with the "Let's Talk About Cyrstal Meth" Social Marketing Team preparing a media campaign to raise awareness about meth use and provide resources for users.
I love it, because I am being challenged. My thinking is being challenged, my time management abilities are being challenged, my communication and relational skills are being challenged, and my endurance is being challenged.
But... how long can I endure, I'm just getting started. And, what do I do to cope. In the past, my reward for myself, and my coping mechanism was a wild, uninhibited weekend, where I didn't have to think about work, or teaching, or other people. These selfish weekends, while somewhat destructive, recharged my personal identity.
So that is what I am thinking about. I am meeting people here at school, and openly sharing my crystal meth story.
Enjoy your day.
