On project

Wednesday, May 13th, 2009

I’m here in Waterloo and wow I’m exhausted at the end of each day.  I’m managing a design team of 5 students who are very different, and sometimes I feel like I’ve been run over by a truck after each day.  Why?  I’ve never really managed a group of people doing design before.  In the past I’ve just done my own thing, and I never had to ask the deep questions to get people to think about design, branding, and marketing.  Now it’s necessary and I feel underqualified.  Maybe I am.  But somehow God has put me here and now I get to trust him for everything I need each day.

Ok so being run over by a truck might be too strong of an analogy.  I’m pretty tired though.  Some other factors that might contribute: I’ve been jogging almost every evening (even for just about 2 km, but still jogging nonetheless).  I am around people and being social absolutely ALL DAY.  I’m sleeping in an environment I’m not familiar with.  I haven’t been eating amazingly healthy because thinking about food kind of goes on the backburner when dealing with all of these issues.
