New Outlook

Last night was my first official night of graduate school. All I can say is so far so good. The professor seems like he is pretty awesome and from some of the conversations I had last night with my classmates in the chat rooms, it promises to be very fun. I was even able to get into bed at a decent hour, too.

I woke up this morning with a renewed sense of self. It’s time for me to take responsibility for my actions. When I went to church on Sunday, the minister told us to look forward and not think about the past. That is what I intend to do. It’s time for me to get healthier. If I don’t, I will never be able to concentrate on what I want in life.

I made new friends on the fitness pal website so hopefully we can help each other out. I will devote two hours a night on my novel so that I can finish it by March. One thing that I’ve realized is that it is very hard to concentrate on writing when you have so many things on your mind. So, with that said, I think I’ve come up with a good solution. I’m going to turn my third bedroom into a home gym/office.

Our third bedroom is usually reserved for my little brother when he is home from college. Since the next time he comes home, he will be living with his girlfriend, I’m going to move his bed into the garage and move my desk into that room. Or fitness equipment is already there so it will make it easier for me to have a place to retreat. Not only will I use it for writing, but I will have a quiet place to go when I have my classes on Tuesday nights. See, I told you I was a genius. This is what happens when you put your mind to work.

Speaking of work, it is time for me to get ready to go. Have a blessed day everyone and be safe.
