9. As we wind on down the road

Well it's been pretty close to the first month since this whole "new beginnings" idea I contrived with this new blog came along, and I guess this would be one of many key points to see if the changes I planned to make have started to show themselves in any way. Self reflection.

In retrospect of the last month, I think I have seen a few changes.

First and foremost would defintely be my urge to get a little more active in the social aspect. I've been asking myself for some time why I really spend all of my time sitting around in my room playing video games every single day after looking over course material for my classes. I've always found video games and movies to be a way to just unwind after a long day of work, school, etc. It isn't about an appeal to the supernatural or the unrealistic. I'm definitely not going to say something stupid like hand eye coordination. That's just plain dumb. I can always make my time for that during the weekend or something, but there's definitely time during the week for school clubs or just hanging out with people. I know because this is the kind of stuff I've been doing.

Second, I took the initiative to get into shape. I've gotten a group of some new friends who are actually big on going to the gym, and my friend Lydia has also suggested yoga classes, which although it seems strange I am actually a little excited about it. It is all things that can make me feel a lot better than I definitely did before. I've been dying to do something that will put me back into shape the way I used to be when I ran cross country and track my first two years of high school. I felt great, strong and healthy and especially considering all of my medical conditions it could only do me good.

Third, school has once again become a bigger priority in my life. I make sure things get done when they need to be done. If I can keep this up, I can get back to the academic situation that allowed me to get into this school in the first place. My possibilities as far as school goes will definitely branch out from there, giving me new ideas about moving out and moving abroad.

Fourth, I'm in the market for another job, although this idea is very new (as of yesterday). I was offered a job doing visits to clients in hotels regarding IT solutions and satellite/DVR connections. Its a much better pay and it is a job that basically works with you. You work when you want to work, whether its full time or part time. I should be making a day to make visits with a current employee I'm familiar with to see how the job works and if its for me. Again. New positions, new experiences, new job opportunities.

Looking back on all of this that I wrote, I think I actually have progressed some. I guess it can only be credited to the will to actually move along with the standards I set for myself last month, and the fact that the idea is still fresh in my mind from when it was first concieved. I can only hope that my motives and drive will continue.
