This long time between updates thing seems to get more and more common. I couldn't think of an appropriate title, so I went with what I am currently eating. I just pulled an all nighter, thanks to my messed up sleep schedule. I'm trying to fix that.
The fall semester is approaching fast. With only about 3 weeks to go, the thought seems to be running through my head daily, "I have to change this semester." I know, some of you have probably heard that a lot from me. I'm going to change, this time will be different, I'm fixing things, etc. So I have come up with what I think is the most important thing to change, in order to get everything else back in line.
The ability to say no. Say no to video games when I have homework. Say no to friends when I need to study. Say no to staying up that extra hour because I started a movie late. Say no to sneaking out? Like I would do that...
Oddly, after finishing that last sentence, there is nothing else popping into my head that I feel like posting about. Maybe that's because I came to the realization recently that I play tons of video games. And when most others can't relate to that, why speak about it? Anywho, I'm off to...do something besides sleep. Call me, email me, whatever. Love and hope.
The ability to say "no" (otherwise known as discipline) seems to be the key to MOST of our problems...time management, money issues, food issues...it's a toughie but best learned during youth! I wish you well this semester! We miss you.
Last you heard from me, I was staying home for the semester. Sorry I didn't update at all.
Life ebbs and flows. (I think that's the correct saying) Ironically, my current background is off the tide going out on the beach. I've been working all semester full time at my summer job. Today was my last day. it's funny how, even though you can be around folks that aren't so pure minded, you can take so much out of it.
So here I am. A semester of monotonous work has left me thinking in a lot of my time. Several things have happened that I would consider important events. I won't mention them for the sake of time and I'd rather not, but just know I've learned a lot. Let's hope I learned enough.
Monday morning I fly down to Florida, to live and work for the summer. I will be living with Eric. From getting kicked out of school for bad grades, and doing terribly financially almost the whole time I was there, I'm throwing myself back there, trying to handle my own finances...completely. It's a scary thought right now, but I'm sure I can make it. I have lots of people to turn to for advice.
This fall I will attend FC for another year. I need to clean up my transcript, and hopefully I will do just that. Lots of lessons I needed to learn this semester. Let's see what I can put into application.
Well, thanks for reading, and good to chat again. Maybe I'll do it sooner next time.
Your dad and I hope this move is all you want it to be. The hard lessons can be the most helpful, if you allow them to be. (But please don't try to learn everything the hard way!!) As the picture indicates, you are at the edge of something new. It is up to you to fly or fall. Time to soar!!! love ya bunches...
