I love my sims I really do, but for some reason I just can't get motivated to do the next update post. I have the pics saved and everything, actually had them up for a while, but I just haven't done anything. I think maybe I'm going to start a new family so that I can show everything from the beginning. I really like this author named Amanda Quick so I think I might base the naming theme on her books. A legacy author I really like did that and it seemed to work really well. I've also been thinking I might experiment with doing videos, but I will have to learn how to upload to youtube and how to use the Microsoft movie maker to shorten them. I think I just need a fresh start, in fact, I've thought a couple of times of restarting my game from scratch, basically just keeping my downloads.

Oh, and sadly until I hear about the library job, which likely won't be for three weeks, I probably won't be updating my fics. My brain is just a little too scattered to concentrate on them and everything, especially when I've been trying to make the chapters longer and one is close to coming to an end. The same goes for any RP plans. I hadn't even really settled on a game yet, so it's really not a big deal. It just might put things off until September, which will give me a chance to look for another job if I don't get the library one, because really I need something better soon and I want to be adjusted to whatever my new schedule turns out to be, if it changes, so that it won't interfere. This whole waiting and everything has played havoc on my motivation and attention span. Pretty much all I've done, other than work and do laundry, is reread my favorite Sims 2 Legacies and watch a tiny bit of Death Note. I probably would be watching more if the TV I borrowed my roommie when mine broke didn't decide to get worse. It's who knows how many years old so yeah it was expected, but still I don't want to make it worse. So really all I have is my computer, which I don't usually watch DVDs on and my portable DVD player for the moment. While this lack of focus while waiting, or stressed about something, is normal for me I really would like to know how to push past it. I feel like I'm old enough that I should know how to cope more effectively, but sadly I've not made any progress.

Also, along with waiting to hear about the library job I'm sort of trying to figure out about the Grad school thing. In order to get a promotion, if I do get the job, I'll have to get a Library Science degree, before I can do that though I have to take the GRE and pay off what money I still owe EKU. I should be able to do that, even without getting a better job, probably in February, but I don't really want to do it so soon. I don't know I'll figure it out all depending on what happens with the job search.
