Mid-Semester Crisis

It happens every semester. You are tired and burned out. You are procrastinating at a level that is unimaginable to who you were at the beginning of the semester. The mid-semester crisis has struck again!

I started out so good! Getting my homework done way in advance, keeping up with all my reading, maintaining a clean bedroom, working out at the beginning of my days... but that has all gone out the window.

My car of motivation has just about run out of gas and is just idling towards the end of the semester. I don't want it to be like this anymore. I feel like I am just living a half life and that I am being buried by the things that I keep putting off.

I am going to be better! I am going to get my butt back into gear. I was much happier at the beginning of the semester because it all felt so new and like anything could happen. I was doing everything that I was supposed to. I am going to get back to that.

The semester isn't over yet. There is still time to turn it around and open up many new possibilities. As I began writing this entry, it was merely as a way to gripe about how unmotivated I am. As I finish this entry, I am excited at the prospect of beginning again.

I just need to get back to what I was doing and those feelings will come back; the feelings that anything can happen. Because it can.

New Years Resolutions: An Update

I had planned to do an update on the first of every month but things have been crazy around here. I figure better late than never though! I have been doing pretty good on my resolutions thus far... YAY! As a reminder to myself and to you(who I am expecting to hold me accountable), I will list each of my goals again along with an update on my progress.

1. Read the Book of Mormon cover to cover- I have been reading pretty regularly, but I definitely need to be reading it more. In order to finish by the end of the year I need to read at least a page and a half a day... a little behind but I am well on my way!

2. Exercise at least 4 times a week- I have been doing really well on this. As my readers know, I and some of my friends joined a local gym here in Rexburg. My original goal, as stated, was to work out 4 times a week, but I have actually been going 5 to 6 times a week. It has been going great!

3. Graduate College- I am doing really well in all of my classes and graduation is definitely looking good!

4. Eat dinner at home at least 4 nights a week- This one has been kind of rough. There isn't much to do in Rexburg so my friends and I usually go out to eat pretty regularly. But I have managed to do this one! My friends and I even made a goal to not eat out at all this next week. We are going to go Sunday to Sunday as a way to save money and eat better.

I am excited that things have been going so well. Hopefully I can keep it all up! 1 month down, 11 to go! Thanks for all your help and support!
