Ok, I’ll keep this short, because I’ve got more necessary things than blog posting to be doing.
Here’s the point: I’ve been getting sloppy. I was way excited when school started last fall, and still am for that matter, to have moved up to Seattle, to have work to support me, and to be able to work and go to school at the same time. Because everything seemed to fall into place at that point, I didn’t really take the time to trim the fat, so to speak, to make sure that this awesome new Seattle/school/working independently life was maintainable and/or that I was doing my absolute best at all of the above.
Areas this is a problem:
- Could have done better at school.
- Missed some homework/quizzes and received a lower grade than I could/should have (i.e. I’m smarter than a 3.2 in IMT 540).
- Finished one class after the quarter was over because I didn’t get my work in on time (doesn’t end up to be a big deal, but still not cool).
- Still not registered for classes this quarter. This is just retarded.
- Could have done better at work.
- If you’re a contract worker, you have to keep in mind that the people depending on your work are full-time workers, and if you take a long time to get something done that they need, they could end up sitting around waiting for you (not cool).
- Could have managed my money better.
- Not really into posting financial details, but suffice it to say: I spent way too much on coffee/coffee products, alcohol, eating out so that, while I should have been stashing savings away, I ended up still living month to month (not cool).
Damn. This was not kept short. Well, no stopping now. On to the resolutions of sorts, the What Can We Take Away From Thises, if you will.
To do:
- Get my homework done on time.
- Do all of my homework.
- Go to class. Every class.
- Be timely in work.
- Bill for time worked in a timely manner.
- Stop buying damn coffee at the school coffee cart when I can brew it at home. Bring a thermos!
- Eat at home more.
- Buy one beer instead of two. Or five instead of eight.
- Register for classes? How about that for a start.
I hesitate to call these New Year’s Resolutions, because, while it comes at a very Suspiciously Close To The New Year time, all these thoughts just happened this morning.
Ok, enough with this thing. Peace out.
Hope you’re having a good day.
