Hello hello!

Oops. That wasn't the button I wanted to press. I meant to look at all my followers and feel happy about people following me! Do I really have TEN? How NICE! X)

It is time for an update like no other. I am very proud of myself today. I mean, I suppose I could get more proud in the future, but today I am doing very well in comparison to how I have been in the past. I will explain this next! Actually, let me make a list of the stuff I need to think about getting done (in and after) this current hour, before I monologue (?) further....


Do I want to join the “Fitness Club”? Consider this in relation to…

                On-campus runs—learn about the surrounding area —businesses and whatnot

                Access to locker at some undefined hours

                How big will my locker be? Can I FIT my 1)lunch 2)clothes 3)hairdryer?! 

                4)flip-flops 5)backpack with books 6)water bottle 7)and other accessories?

                Can I work out the times I return-- before classes, after classes, and once for lunch?

                Could I go to the P-Campus on Sundays or something? come on-- Free membership.

                I could... 

wake at 4:30/5, 

leave at 6, 

arrive at 7:30, store stuff and work out, 

then shower and get dressed by 8:40, 

then head to class, 

then come back to pick up my lunch, 

then come back to work out again at 3:00,

and then study at the library from 4-6,

and then go home.

what else is important is that I set aside study, on all the other four days, around 2 hours daily, or 3.

On regular days I also wake up early and exercise for an hour, too. Pick two days to exercise for two hours, a longer run, and longer stretch and strength.

Oooookay. So I'm proud of myself because I'm in school. I'm in school! I'm going to a community college based out of metropolitan Kalotei--it's very exciting. In fact, although I've been to a community college before, it wasn't to start a serious degree (like this time) and it wasn't in a big city like this. Here, people flock to take classes and absorb information to make their lives better. These people are coming out of hard spots in life and are desperate, and tired, adventurous, and ingenious. Well, some of them. It's so much fun to be part of things here!

It does seem kind of quiet sometimes, but this is only my second day. I still don't really know where I'm going on campus yet, and there's a bit of construction going on over at not one but TWO buildings on campus, so getting inside of one building or another is confusing and certain departments are hiding behind yellow tape and metal framework beams.

So yes! I'm doing well! However, it's almost time for me to go home, after a little studying, I've got to go. I still haven't decided whether I study best in the library or best on my own in my room. I know my productivity is better when I can study independently, and that it's best for me to avoid the temptation to relax and watch anime in my room, thus the library theme, but when I'm at the library I get distracted with other matters and can't focus either. Maybe next time I can come in the morning and try to take care of all this stuff before it's even time to go to class, so that after class I can study.

Or... maybe it's good to take a break after classes? But not such a long break. Alright-- my goal is to journal and take care of little chores and errands on campus super quickly so I can go and study!! Oh, well, I had some things to do. Next time, I will get more done. I'm off to study Music Theory and Japanese now!

I'll pray for strength. Or for luck. I guess I believe in luck if it comes from God.
