Reevaluating Goals; Acknowledging Accomplishments

I'm fixing things that don't work.

So it begins...More and more seems to pile onto my plate over the last few days.  I worked a ton this weekend, tried to do homework, attempted to update the resume, and keep my room tidy.  Unfortunately, my health matters have already taken a back seat.  I am already slipping into bad habits of health eating and just being listless.  I made the mistake of weighing myself early in the game; whenever I see results, I think "oh wow, if this already happened, I guess I can eat a little bit more/exercise less/etc" which is a terrible habit.  For now, I resolve not to weigh or measure myself until the first phase is over.  Also, I need to start saying "No" more.  I like being social, which gets in the way of being productive (and usually becomes counterproductive, especially when going out means going for a meal).

My morning routine bit is an upward battle on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays.  So far, I have not missed any class which is an accomplishment since I am an avid class skipper.  But, my productivity in the morning on those days are non existent.  However, Tuesdays and Thursdays, I get a ton done!  I get up early, respond to any pressing email, tidy up the room, exercise, and tie up any loose ends before I head to class.  I generally feel more energetic and enthusiastic about my day when I am productive early, and the productivity continues on.

My creativity has been active as well.  I have been making things on the side when I have free time or need a break from craziness.  This weekend, during my crazy work schedule, I knitted myself a headband/earwarmer.  Some of my shifts were from 4am-8am, so I needed something that did not take a lot of brain power AND keep me awake.  I took THIS pattern and made my own! Voila!

I feel like a flapper when I wear it!

I've been getting my internship squared away.  I've filled out the necessary paper work, I just need to rework that resume and do an interview!  I'm really excited about the future.  Also, my future roommate and I looked at apartments yesterday!  When we walked into the leasing office, we were helped right away and got a quick tour.  I forget that I'm an adult now, and that I am taken more seriously.  It just kinda surprised me that we got helped so quickly and enthusiastically.  Day by day, I feel more like a grown-up.
