I have to admit, meeting a current Bush Fellow while I'm awaiting word on my application was a bit intimidating and exhilarating! As part of her presentation, Linda showed us her resume. I have heard about functional resumes like Linda's but mine is totally different. I have different skills, of course, but her organization didn't use dates or years of prior jobs so much as it showcased her accomplishments. I like that. I like my resume how it is, and I spent a whole lot of time on the design and organization for it. I am not so organized as some and it was quite a chore to put it all down like that, even if it does feel good to remember things I'm proud of while working on my resume. But I also like the style to showcase of my triumphs so I may look at it again from this new perspective and see what I can change. I like how her resume was all on one page, too; mine is front and back.
The video on creativity was beautiful to watch. I often have to remind myself to take a few steps back and put on a wider lens. Fortunately, that's also a line from one of my favorite Ani Difranco songs, so reminding myself is also entertaining. Participating in WCLI has put me in the position of most opportunities, like the narrator said was necessary to get a good picture. This class is helping me get a better picture of what I can do as well as what I want to do. When I took photography, my teacher provided the film for the express purpose that we would not be afraid to take hundreds of pictures because that is the only way to get one perfect image. The narrator said that he takes about 400 shots for an article that may ultimately use as many as 30. In the digital age, that's even easier to do! My camera broke last week, after my transmission (yes, in the new car). It seems like it's harder to move myself forward than my career at this point, and I thought life would get simpler after I graduated.
I have been listening to the CDs Vesta gave us. My son, as I knew he would, has confiscated the lullabies to listen while he goes to sleep. I used to dream of being a singer. I loved art in all its forms but the socialization provided by the schools in my area were not encouraging. I moved my ambitions to the kitchen, where I still create art each day. Cooking is how I unwind after a particularly stressful situation. In fact, if I'm upset and not cooking, that is a cause for concern. If I am upset and you have a pantry or fridge full of ingredients, invite me over :) I promise it will be worth your while.
