I suppose I sort of failed at being a consistent blogger. I offer not an attempt at an excuse, but simply a testament that I will try harder.
I'm back at school for our interim. After a few tears shed on the way back, I know I'm ready to be here. Tears shed, not because I want to be home so badly, but because I've discovered that returning to a place you feel defeated by is quite difficult. I was overwhelmed by a rainbow of emotions and it poured out of me like a rainy day.
Nevertheless, I'm here and things are unpacked. I have a couple miscellaneous bags left but for the most part everything is in it's correct spot. Groceries have been bought, veggies and all. OH, and I purchased a $10 coffee maker. I needed my very own. My addictions is getting worse and I thought today I needed to feed it a little. I figured in the long run I'll be saving quite a bit of money.
Being here will be ok. I'm taking a class entitled "forgiveness" that I hope to learn a thing or two in. In all honesty, I know there's a reason aside from the obvious as to why I'm not in Minneapolis this month and I'm back here at school and as I sit in the cozy, cotton flower scented lounge, I wait with anticipation for what exactly it is.
With that being said, I have a few goals for myself as I enter into this Interim and the year 2009..
- I want to create a consistent work out plan. Busting zippers in your favorite jeans is a surefire sign that the gym is calling your name. I have the time and no excuses.
- I want to read 3 to 4 books these next three weeks. I rarely set aside time for this when in the typical semester and so now is my time to catch up on a few novels.
- I want to do a better job of tracking my debit card usage. This area could use a lot of work.
- I want to get a head start these next three weeks on planning for Social Work club. Creating goals and planning upcoming activities so I don't feel so overwhelmed when the semester starts.
-I want to visit my best guy friend just as promised and not use the weather or length of travel as an excuse.
- Lastly and most importantly... and this has been an ongoing process and goal of mine... I refuse to compromise the person I claim to be for literally anyone. Sometimes people get wrapped up in toxic people that offer no cleansing to one's soul. Sometimes it's too late and you realize you're not the person you want to be. Getting out of the cobwebbed mess isn't easy but it's not impossible.
I'm thankful for my clairvoyant friends and the time I'm given to figure and sort some things out.
