Hey!
Without school as a constant priority you would think that I would have a ton of time for things like this. And I do. However, those unemployed and out of school can also attest that when this is your current situation, you literally waste your days away. Not to go and be all emo, but it's sucks. Anyways with this free time there are a lot of things that I should and want to be doing. Here are a few.
Blogging
It doesn't take a whole lot out of my day to do this, but it always falls by the wayside. I enjoy writing and this is pretty much my only outlet for it... well, I have one more but we'll get to that later. Either way, the new goal is to get this activity up to three times a week.
Journaling
I told you I'd get to it later. I really feel like I need to be doing this every day. So that's the goal. Every morning I'll spend ten minutes journaling. I feel that it will help me get off to a more productive day and keep me from turning into a disgusting slacker.
Guitaring
I really want to become a better guitarist and the only way that that will happen is through, wait for it, practice. Yeah, go figure. My big problem is that I never know what to play and if I cannot figure out that part the rest gets very hard. It's not much, but I'm going to try and dedicate 15 minutes a day on the ole' guitar. I figure that that will keep me playing and motivated to play more. If you have any ideas of what I should learn to play, throw them in the comments.
Job Searching
This is the most difficult part for me. I get on the internet to look for a job and my mind goes blank. I don't know where to look, I don't know how to look, and I don't know what I'm looking for. I call it the golden trifecta. My parents are starting to tell me that the only way I'll find something halfway decent is to network. Awesome. Well, not to bash it but I'm not a huge fan of this. I want to receive a job because I'm the best for it and not because a friend of my aunt's sister knows someone who knows someone. Although, this is probably just a lame excuse as it shouldn't matter how I get an interview, seeing as an interview is usually all I need to get a job. Not to toot my own horn or anything, but I consistently kill interviews, you know, the kind of interview where you are unofficially offered the job in the interview because you did so well in it. If only I could get a job in taking interviews for other people. Now that would be great.
Exercising
Yeah... still out of shape here I come. It's not that I'm grotestquely overweight or that I am at all really. It's that when I'm in shape I feel so much better about everything. I just feel good about myself. Target is situps and push ups three times a week and something cardio twice a week. I think even that little amount is obtainable and beneficial.
Reading
I'm not reading nearly enough. I'm going to read for a minimum of an hour a day.
That's really all I've got for now. If you can think of awesome things I should be doing let me know!
