I am sitting in a dorm room at Worcester State University as I write this. It’s weird to be in a dorm room. Let’s just say it’s been a while since I’ve slept in a room with nothing more than a small bed, a desk and cinderblock walls. I suspect I wouldn’t do well in prison. And then there’s the whole showering in the shared bathroom down the hall. (Don’t worry, I brought flip flops.)
But it’s better than driving another three hours back up to Maine after teaching for three hours about marketing substance abuse treatment, prevention and recovery programs. And right before dinner too.
I’m at the New England Institute for Addiction Studies (NEIAS) Summer School. I’ve taught at two other NEIAS “schools” and have always enjoyed the diverse group of addiction professionals that they attract from all around New England.
If you are interested, you can take a look at my presentation slides. While my focus was on the substance abuse treatment, prevention and recovery, the basic marketing principles apply for anyone with a business.
OvercommittedNot enough time in the dayGot to slow down now
Can you relate? Bonus points if you comment with a haiku!
Oh, and I’ve got another trip planned for next week too that I’m super excited about. I’ll give you more details in this week’s Philanthropy Friday!
I can totally relate and will tell you I literally never stop and just keep going. It is just crazy here sometimes and trust me I do know the feeling quite well. Love your haiku and can’t thank you enough for sharing here today.
It’s hard to stop, isn’t it Janine? Sounds like I’m not alone!
I get your feelings
I feel that way most days, too
Hang in there my friend!
You do awesome work
And inspire me so much
I love your blog posts.
Love it, Bev! And thanks. 🙂
We are brain twins. That would be my haiku too! I hear ya. I hope your presentation went well. It’s kind of an ironic topic when you just read the title.
I love how Bev answered in Haikus.
I feel the challenge
I will not be left to watch
I can do this too.
Hugs.
Great haiku, Alexa! The presentation went well. Hoping to slow down a bit now.
Oh there is no time
Like the present to just stop
and smell the roses!
You’ve got that right, Kelly! Thanks for the haiku comment. 🙂
Unfortunately no haiku from me because my brain is fried at the moment! But I am excited to check out your slides; as I continue to adjust to the freelance lifestyle, I am all about soaking up marketing knowledge of all kinds.
There’s always something to learn, Katie. Even when you teach the class!
I was in a dorm!
All weekend long with blog friends
All-nighters feel bad
That’s the best I could do! Funny that we had parallel situations (shared bathroom and all) although I was not giving a presentation! I’m terrified of it!
Kudos!
The haiku is great, Tamara. Not a fan of dorm life anymore. It would’ve been more fun with blog friends!
