Busy times

Already 3 weeks into the month and I m not too sure where the time has gone. My normally relaxing weekend have been engulfed with social events, homework, work work and basketball.

I spent 50+ hours in the office, working to prepare for the social media seminar the company I work for is putting on this coming week. I put in some time doing some correction, I did some research for my social media certification class and then had 2 basketball games today followed by an online meeting with my project partner this evening.

It is after 11 on this sunday and I am just trying to think of the next day that I ll have to just do nothing if I choose. That surely doesnt seem to be coming this weekend or the next. Dont get me wrong, being busy has it's benefits. I like having a social life because being stuck in my apartment wasting time is the last thing I like to be doing most times. Being busy also keeps my mind off of things too. Though I d say that I would like to sleep in more than I have been able to. Most nights lately I havent been to sleep until after midnight and then I am up again early. I think not getting my 8 hours is going to start catching up with me at some point.

I m curious what the next couple weeks will bring in terms of free time. I have a birthday coming up next weekend and moving day looming on the horizon. Also so social functions with friends and basketball as well. I guess it might be shaping up to be a no sleep november. But we ll see.

Nictober

Welp, another October is upon us. It seems I went a large majority of my childhood not knowing many people who have birthdays during this month...besides myself of course, but now it seems like more people than not, that i know, do.

Seems like I have been to 3 or 4 birthday related functions this month on top of other get togethers that seem to be popping up. Seems like there is a high concentration of cool people born this month.

It is nice having things to do. This is the time of year where the sun starts setting earlier and it is darker when I wake up in the mornings. The weather has also been extremely shitty these last few weeks. It has rained more recently than I can stand. The temperature has also dropped significantly. We are barely making it to double digits these days (Celsius that is). I had to break out my peacoat jacket and sometime even where a sweatshirt under that just to keep warm on my bike rides to get around. Could also be the reason I am still fighting a cough that I have had for weeks now.

The other good thing about October is that, at work, we prepare for another year of Movember. This is our second year launching the campaign and the official launch party is this Thursday. It isnt ever anything crazy, but having a drink or two is still fun. Anything that gets me out of the apartment for a bit is fine by me.

This October I am also helping organize a social media seminar. It is taking place towards the end of the month, so this month continues to keep me busy. On top of that the social media certification I am working towards is moving along......and I have basketball that is now in full swing.

The nice thing though, is that things will hopefully settle down towards the end of the month....well besides having to move. I m hoping to try and enjoy my birthday weekend, and have a few drinks to celebrate such an awesome month.

And then when it is all over....I ll start growing my mustache again

Something About Me

Well I am one week into the social media certification class that I am taking with the Social Media Academy and here are a couple of the week 1 tasks.

Check out my slide share presentation and intro video. Some content is the same, some is a bit different. Enjoy!
