Ho hum
So once again, I am on a lunch break at the museum, and have nothing to do. I've read the two magazines I bought to keep me entertained (HCi and Sport Rider, one a car mag, the other a bike mag), and am saving the book for when I'm back waiting around for visitors to show up. However, I really don't have much to write.
The other day at the fair, I had a rather intruiging thought. What would it be like to get paid for blogging? I don't think that I could do it. Someone comes along and says, "Post every other day at least, and you get X dollars." That thought just doesn't work. It takes some of the spirit of blogging away for me. Maybe I'm just strange, but part of how I blog is when I have a thought that strikes me, that I remember, that seems like other people might want to hear, or that I just need to express. I don't get those thoughts on demand. That's like saying to a painter, "Paint a masterpiece every month." It just doesn't work like that! I might be a little arrogant in comparing my thoughts to masterpiece paintings, but still. You get the idea.
So I'm going back to school somewhere around Spetember 3. I'm not sure if I talked about the fact that the track program theoretically got cut. However, we still apparently have funding. So, I was on the cross country roster from the end of last season so that I could practice with the team throughout the entire year. I talked to my coach about coming in for XC preseason and her take was that if I was working out at home and running that I should prolly just stay home. I, of course, assured her that I was doing said workouts, and she said that I could come when school started. I'm going to die when I get there. I haven't been running at all (minus the soccer games at the end of summer track), and the workouts that I've been doing haven't been that strenuous (I'm not super stiff the next day). I think that I'm going to start the season off right by presenting my coach with a whip.
Well, that's about all that I've thought of. Back to work (or something like it).

I have often wondered what it would be like to get paid for blogging - bloody brilliant i think! I guess it is just knowing how to attract the right audiance! You have to understand the people you are writing for - it is never easy!
One day in the future I would love to be able to "write on line" . It is a good feeling when someone reads your work and has opinions etc.. I guess that is why I always get excited when i see comments on my blog. :)
