New Year - New Computer - New Resolutions

The computer really isn't new but in essence it is because I have had to re-image it several times per Sony Vaio. I was upset at first but in the end it didn't seem so bad. I didn't loose any of my files and I now have most of them organized. I was embarrassed to find that I had 16 GB of duplicate pictures in 2010. Of course I haven't gone through previous years yet. I love taking pictures so I guess I shouldn't be too surprised. I have quite a few of them but unfortunately many are not in focus. I was pretty disappointed by that. It is hard to tell if they are in focus in the tiny view screen. I really miss having a viewfinder! I feel as if a weight has been lifted off my shoulders since my computer isn't so cluttered. Now I just have to go through 2007-2009. It is nice to have some sort of a goal. It really helps me move forward.

I received another rejection letter and I was pretty sad but around the same time the nonprofit I volunteer with needed some grants written. I volunteered for this and worked on it today. It is a pretty easy one! I really want to be successful with this since it is the first time I have had a chance at writing a real grant. I don't count the ones I had to write up for class last summer. This opportunity really revived me.

I am hoping my organizational lesson and my grant writing opportunity will help me move forward with finding a job. I would love to work in the smaller Non-profit field, but in this economy that might be tough. Than again getting a job at all is tough! Sigh!

I think I will make a late new years resolution to stay organized!
