Starting Over

I took some time to readjust my life once school started and also to refocus my energy as I've been a bit scatterbrained lately. I've had a crazy couple of weeks trying to find my balance and now I think I've got it. So I'm redeclaring my goals and shuffling around the emphasis.

• First the biggest priority in my life would be my job.  Without it I would not get to do pretty much anything else.  So with that in mind, goal number one is to study for my state licensing exam and to submit the application for said exam this week.
• Second is school.  I want to obtain a BS is Civil Engineering and am taking two classes this semester to ease back into school.  I want to get As in both classes, so I've definitely got to stay on top of them.
• Three to stay on budget and be ready to purchase property by July of this year.  I think with the state of our government and economy the best way I can set myself up for retirement and for my future family is to buy an income property.
• Four to eat clean.  I'm not going to beat myself up if I have an event or go out with friends, but it's time to start treating my body better.

My next few goals are something I want to strive for but if the first four and more important goals are being compromised, then these ones will go right out the window.  No guilt and no shame. I list them here in no order of importance.

• Practice guitar every day even if it's just five minutes.
• Try and improve my running, which physically is my biggest weakness.  If I can't get out there and go on a run, then I can practice drills at home.
• Make commitment club at the gym.
• Be an NSO for roller derby.  I really want to play roller derby but do not have the time for that kind of commitment but I can at least be involved and volunteer.
• Blog on a regular basis.

I don't want to overwhelm myself and I don't think I have, but I've definitely got to work on my discipline.  I get everything done but not in a timely fashion.  Also, I'd like to try and see friends more often because sometimes when I've got a lot going on I tend to forget about the people who care and that's not exactly fair to them.  Anyway, looking forward to tomorrow.

Until then, wander on my friends, wander on.
