Like all my writing, the blog has suffered greatly for the duration of my internship. I've tossed around thousands of thoughts of simply terminating and storing the blog offline. Perhaps in the future a new one might pop up... perhaps I would lose myself in private offline life and disappear. But I have this attachment to online life and to writing that I can't deny. Just because it's on hold doesn't mean it's not still there. Just because I spend days hiking around with a backpack, driving around talking to kids and families about their problems, and the rest of my time with some guy doesn't mean the writing won't come back. I get the feeling these days that the bits of my life, like reading for recreational purposes and writing and posting online, might just come back once I get past those two hideous licensing exams. Not sure why I think that. Some Guy and I are looking at places to rent that have room for combined belongings. I haven't been fired. Nor have I been laid off. I'm within a couple hundred internship hours of done - I thought I was a lot closer, but it turns out my math skills are lacking (no surprise there). So more stress for more months.... So should I or shouldn't I kill the blog? I'll probably just leave it snoozing for a while. It works for Jemima.
