Confession #3
24 January 2013
Spin On!

I don't get away with plate spinning all the time. Just today I was called out by a professor--well, in a way. He emailed me today to let me know that I would only get a partial grade for a project that I turned in late. He also ended the note by saying, "I hope you respond by taking my class more seriously."

I take his class seriously-- I do. I only need one more upper division credit, signed up for a class that I could tell wasn't going to benefit me, dropped it and added his class instead because I believe that I will learn more from it. It's just that, well, I'm a plate spinner.

My dilema: do I confess to him that I am a plate spinner or hide my chaotic lifestyle. Do I tell him that I work 34 hours a week, spend 15 hours in class, have at least three projects per week, that I am the director of a new after school program, that I am raising four children, and work hard to keep a smile on my face and try not be one of those people that are too stressed so that I might keep a friend or two?

Nope. I have already decided to continue the course and move forward as if nothing happened. I will continue to live my plate spinning ways and hopefully he will never catch a glimpse of that side of me again.

Spin on!
