I'm working on my current commitment to stick to a consistent writing schedule. Because I haven't done much of my One Year Self-Directed Alternative Graduate School Experience, this post may seem a little, "Hey, look at me and my life." (That was a plug for my friend Elizabeth and her rant concerning self-centered bloggers.)
I have finally settled into my tiny apartment and will work on hanging up art and wall hangings during my half day off tomorrow.
"Quitter" by Jon Acuff is the first book on my reading list for the year. I am about halfway through, into the second year of my project. Clarification: Its one week in and I am already running behind, but I think I'm okay with it. I have chose this challenge and I am going to run at it to the best of my ability. I will work hard and challenge myself for the next 12 months.
So far this summer (all two weeks of it) I have enjoyed nights out with my best friends, live music in the summer sun and a day at the lake. I have gotten closer to the people I love and distanced myself from the relationships that are not going anywhere. I have learned that life is too short to spend it with people that aren't valuable to your life...even if that means going on lots of first dates and saying "No" to second dates.
I will now conclude this post that was mostly about me and not much about anything of value to the general public. If you were hoping for some worldly knowledge or quirky comedic post, I promise to try to live up to those standards in the future.
Future posts will include:
-Book reviews
-Life lessons learned
-Funny things that happen to me that will make you say, "Haha. Oh man, that's so funny."
-Other things that are more interesting than my day-to-day life.
