Happy Leap Year

I haven't blogged since January and with today being February 29th, I figured I should post something or else my archives would skip a month. And we can't have that.

The entire month of February has been a search for inspiration and motivation to do EBD work. Cancelled phone calls and relying heavily on email replies along with school and work make it harder to find the flash of the inspirational light bulb. EBD is the first thing to go on the back burner as soon as life gets busy, which sometimes makes me think my priorities are out of line. But then when I think harder about it, the things I put first are school, work, and AIESEC-Madison... all things that are in actuality more important to me.

I was dreading the phone call I had with my mentor today since I had no external meetings this past week to talk about. Our conversation went in a different direction than normal, as she realized that maybe I'm forgetting that this role is something that is supposed to be for me. It's completely volunteer and the work I should be putting in is something that should directly reflect what I want to get out of it. I still want to do everything that I signed up for... my reasons for applying still exist. I know that this role is important to the LC and sometimes I forget that. It's just that the motivation comes in waves, and right now I'm waiting for the tide to come in.

ON A MORE EXCITING NOTE:
Today I will be getting into the new system to search for traineeships. As I have made no other plans for post-graduation, there is no backing out this time.
