Autum means a change of life seasons as well

Well fall semester started without me. mmm, I feel strange not being in the academic world. I was in a bit of a panic in Aug as to what the heck I was going to do with all my free time. Well I solved that quandary this week. I start my new massage job at the school this Saturday. I am excited to be able to use my new skills. I am not sure I would want to massage as a full time job so working 3 days a week seems like a good way to test the waters. I will work about 6 days a week, but it doesn't feel like it when you change it up everyday, besides when I don't have a client I am not obligated to be there and I can get my errands done during the business week. Of course this is all hypothetical and looks OK on paper, we'll see how it plays out in real life. I really like the deep tissue aspect of massage. It is a great feeling to find the muscles that are "broken" and fix them and be able to provide relief for people that have pain. I can't explain the feeling but I come out revitalized as well. I am going to be working for the school's clinic. This is a great arrangement for me as they make all my appointments, do all the business paperwork (which I absolutely abhor), provide supplies and do the laundry. Seems perfect to me. It is also within bike riding distance from my house, so that will be super nice here in the fall, winter I am still giving it some consideration depending on the snowfall and temperatures. I am excited to move into this new phase of life and fully enjoy the start of a wonderful Autumn season.
