So, classes start this week and I'm very excited. I've got a pretty crazy schedule and we're going to see how well this works with my motivation. Typically I get pretty burnt out by the middle of the semester and get behind on a lot of things. That's something I definitely want to avoid this semester. I have a night class for the first time in my college career, whoa. But I've already started reading one of the books for it, go me. I also have a saturday class but it's all day, for 5 weeks at the beginning of the semester. It's also a substance abuse interventions class which will be pretty cool. I'm hoping my motivation will stay up for this one because it's something I'm interested in, plus it gives me no time to become a slacker :) I've also already started reading a book for one of my Aquinas classes; pretty interesting so far.
Organization-wise, I'm doing well, I got some storage things to take care of clutter, been keeping up with hanging clothes up instead of just throwing them in my big pile, and got out a lot of clothes from my closet. I want to sell or donate as much as I can, but I just have to make some time to do that. Next on my list is really cleaning out my car. Un-organization-related: I really need to open up a savings account. I'm thinking my Tuesdays before classes, when I don't have work, will be a good time to get these things done.
I'm also doing a week of night time rituals that normal people do, that I haven't been, and need to. Number one is flossing and brushing teeth before bed. Gross right? I barely floss, so gotta work on that, and remembering to brush my teeth every night doesn't always happen so I'm making myself do it this week, no matter what's going on, so hopefully I can keep that up as a habit. Also, I'm terrible with washing my face before bed; I gotta get that eyeliner off yo! So this week I'm doing that before bed as well so I can get myself into a habit of it. Not huge stuff but it's pretty important so hopefully all this sticks!
Ok well, now that classes are starting maybe I'll have much more interesting stuff to talk about. My goal is to keep my motivation throughout the semester though. I can't let myself get backed up with reading and papers so much that nothing gets done and then start slacking on schoolwork. I have to maintain a good balance! Pray this works!
