In Which the Author is Hired In Less Time Than It Takes To Complete An IR Experiment

Dear Reader, 

About two hours ago, I was planning on taking 15 units*, continuing research**, continuing my volunteer work as a peer-reviewer***, holding on to 6 jobs****, as well as attempting to have a social life.

Ambitious, I know. And there have been several times people have looked at me like I was crazy. I suppose they might be correct, but then again finding things to do has never been a problem for me. I'm that annoying person who always had too many pages in her essay, read 5000***** books each summer, and never had a problem finding a job. 5/6 of my current jobs I didn't interview for - I was asked. Not that the reader should envy me, after all now I actually have to do all the work I signed up for. But as the previous post and future posts will show, I love all my jobs. My problem might not be finding jobs, but in saying no. 

God has given me so much and opened so many doors for me that most of the time, it is overwhelming. It forces me to prioritize, organize and of course, say no to things that aren't as important. 

However, God just gave me another job. Yes, another!! A job posting was listed on Facebook from my chemistry dept, stating that they needed TA's for General Chemistry! About five minutes after I sent an email to the professor detailing why I should get the job, I got a two sentence reply: "You're hired! Come to my office this Monday, so we can talk." 

Much joy ensued! 

And now I get to decide whether or not to keep all my jobs or to minimize a few or what.... 
I can't wait for Monday now though! ******


*Although I'm still waffling on whether I should take German or Advanced NMR. I can sit in on the NMR class, but should I just go for it and get credit for it? 
**This is still going to be my favorite class. 
***I get to review undergraduate journal articles in physics, chemistry, and math. 
****Three of which, are at my university and only require 2-3 hours of work a week. The other three require 3-5 hours of work a week, so it's not as bad as it looks. 
*****Not really, but close. I'm planning on making a post (or several) on books I read this summer and books in general. 
*****More than I already was!
