Mood: somewhat determined
The answer i gave everyone this week when asked "how was your spring break" was: "too short."
Aside from jury duty (in which i didn't even fulfill because i postponed it), i visited the dentist and was my mothers slave. I didn't even see my high school friends or spend decent quality time with anyone except for Helen (for barely an hour and a half) and Darius who i made my number one priority last week. And even for that felt like there there was no adequate time allotted. Now i am back at school bracing myself for yet another quarter of studying and boredom.
I've decided to set a few absurd but necessary (in my opinion) goals which i will enforce starting now:
1) budget for the quarter: $25
I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE ALL THINKING. Impossible. BUT not really. Last year, Darius told me that he spent a total of something like $20 for the entire fall quarter. And that $20 was spent on one night when he went out to dinner with his friends. AND even that was with the help of my insisting that he went out to do more stuff. So really, if it weren't for me, he would've spent zero dollars that quarter....in fact if it weren't for me, he would probably spend zero dollars ever. Now that i think about it, if it weren't for me, Darius would be a rich rich man.

I am a terrible influence. ANYWAYS, my point is that it IS possible. At first i was going to say spend zero dollars, however i felt that was unnecessarily harsh on myself and that it might lead me into starvation. This is going to be a cheap and frugal quarter!
2) To gym it up at least twice a week (more is preferrable). As summer time IS coming around, i must start to think about the future! Since i am unwilling to give up food, i have decided to enforce a stricter exercise plan. Of course you may hardly dare to believe that i and making this a goal for any other reason than this, but exercising acts as a brilliant tranquilizer after a stressful day and so really, I'm also doing this for my health.
3) get good grades. All i want to do at the end of quarter, is look at my end of the quarter report and not experience an unpleasant feeling in the pit of my stomach. This is straightforward enough right?
My guidelines for this quarter have been established. Time to crack down on it...
peace

I echo your sentiments....stupid break needs to be 2 weeks. I swear.
1) D would be a rich rich man but also a sad sad man.
2) Ellipticals do NOTHING for you, just an fyi. The treadmill is your best friend, I suppose. That and stair-climbing.
3) I'm in the same dang boat. Boo on bad grades.
treadmill GOT IT (:
You'll always be broke as a college student. Might as well make the most of it, right? XD
Try going outside for a run too - I find that I can reflect easier... Most of my conversations with Him are when I'm outside. lol. It's a little more comforting than inside. Might just be me. :)
Just know you worked your hardest. The grades shouldn't reflect anything. As long as you felt you did your best, then you did. <3
