Well, I am absolutely exhausted. Last night I was up late working on a
paper. I had difficulty concentration. It was about 1am so I decided to call it a
night and go to sleep. Turns out, I couldn’t concentrate because my blood
sugar was at 45. I ate an apple and piece of candy and went to sleep. I woke
up in the middle of the night drenched in sweat. I knew my blood sugar was
low again but I was too exhausted to move. I feel back asleep. I woke up
again shortly after. It appears that my body’s natural reaction to low blood
sugar is to wake up. That’s a good thing, I suppose though I decided to take
a risk and not get up. I wasn’t wearing my insulin pump, nor did I take an
injection of basal insulin before bed. I knew from experience that it was only
a matter of time before my blood sugar started to rise. Sure enough I woke
up again but I wasn’t sweating anymore. I was freezing cold because I was
soaked. Still I was exhausted to I just fell back asleep. I woke up, shivered,
pulled my body into the fetal position under my blanket and fell back asleep.
I repeated this about 2 more times before I aimlessly swung my hand above
my head in search of the heating console on my wall. My heater kicked on
and I finally slept peacefully. That is, until my alarm started screeching at
7am.
The day went well afterwards though. I had poptarts for the first time
in 2 years and they were fantastic. I had a conference with Professor Tweedie
and he gave me a lot of positive feedback on the two papers I have handed
in so far. My art class was canceled (at least I hope it was since I didn’t go) so
I had more time to do homework. However, My day has now taken a nose
dive. After being presented with the Prezi, I realized how poorly I did on my
self evaluation. I wrote way more than I should have and I didn’t take it 100%
seriously which I know I will have to when I write a legitimate CV. A lot of my
accomplishments are from high school and they apparently aren’t ones
worth mentioning so now I feel like I have nothing to say on my CV. Also I
spoke negatively of myself in some sections which we aren’t supposed to do.
So, I guess I better get to work on my CV revisions.
I am considering graduate school. However I don’t know exactly what
I want to study. Also, I’m not sure if I want to go for an MA or an MFA. I
would prefer the MFA because I love workshops. I joined the Avant club and
that’s basically what it is. We read, interpret, and critique the work of our
peers and I really do enjoy doing that. However, I do want to have to option
of going for my PhD. I probably won’t go for it but I like having that option.
Maybe it’s a vanity thing because I like the way “Dr. Bouchard” sounds. I have
considered getting my PhD in folklore. I think that would be fascinating.
Perhaps I will go for my MA because Professor Reynolds said I can go for my
MFA after my MA. I’d like to say I have plenty of time to figure this out but I know that’s not the case.
When writing my CV, I’d like to focus on anything writing related such as classes I have taken in the Writing Arts program. Also I’d like to include my GPA since I am currently Cum Laude status. I’d also like to include my minor (visual arts) because several jobs (advertising, writing children’s stories, etc) involve both writing and images. It would be a good idea for me to include the types of writing I like to do and any honors I’ve gotten as a writer. I should also include that I am a member of Avant andI have had a piece accepted into the magazine after an anonymous submission. If the piece I’m submitting to the Pat B. Tweedie Creative Non-Fiction contest wins, I will of course put that on there too. I would also like to include any skills that pertain to writing or my strengths. I will leave out jokes (such as when I wrote “I have a license to kill” under the “List any special licenses” category. I noticed while I was typing this that I am a fairly fast typer. I may include that too.
