For many months now, I have spent my evenings staying up quite late chatting with friends around the world online. It’s always great to have a chance to catch up with people who are physically removed from me, and be mutually aware of what’s going on in each others lives.
With the recent job changes that I’ve made, I find myself working in the morning a vast majority of the shifts I am working. That means going to bed much earlier, even when I don’t necessarily have to. It’s been past the time that science shows a behavior change will stick (I believe it’s 27 days?), and this has become a habit for me.
It’s interesting. On the one hand, I know it’s much healthier for my body if I keep a regular sleep schedule in line with my geographic location, and I physically feel really awesome. Sometimes, I regret that I am not able to keep up with my buddies in other places as often as I would like. Fortunately, good friends are those that you can talk to after a long time and pick up right where you left off. I still care about these people, and they do me.
I have an interview for that job I talked about in my last post. It’s in an hour and a half in fact. I have never felt such a low amount of nervousness about a job interview in my life, and am convinced I will nail it.
So the new sleep schedule had me waking up at eight this morning, with nothing going on until after noon. Sitting around my house, I suddenly remembered that I still have that online TESOL class to finish. How did I forgot about? Anyways, I have spent the morning learning about how to teach English overseas.
Both of my jobs are in Seattle, as is the interview, obviously. I live in a suburb a thirty minute drive away and don’t start work until two and a half hours after the interview is over. Driving home is not an option, as that is a waste of money, so I think I will spend the afternoon sitting in the park with a book. The weather is semi nice, which by Seattle standards means it’s awesome!
