A little on my near past and recent future
There have been things to report since I last updated, though I have not wished to post them, nor do I intend to do so with all now. I have not gotten the opportunity to meditate on all these things of late, nor discuss them with those most trusted. I will discuss some things, but in not great detail.
The initial report on the most recent academic term is that it went poorly. I experienced a complete system failure in the area of academics and, more generally, self-discipline. I must now set myself to the task of diagnosing what exactly failed, why these failures occurred, and what I can do to prevent them in the future. This cannot be allowed to happen again. I must set clear goals and plans of actions before me and take the necessary steps to insure their implementation. It appears that a crucial aspect of this imminent evaluation and subsequent correction will be my concept of responsibility. How it is to be approached; when should it be accepted; when should it be rejected; how to fulfill it.
In the near future I also must choose for myself an course of study. I make no further announcement here yet, for thoughts are not yet plans and I seek no advice from you on this now.
I must also find work. I hope to find it in the state of Massachusetts, rather than in New York, because I have responsibilities to fulfill there. But I must contributue financially to my own education and the month of January affords the opportunity of full-time work. This responsibility comes first, as much as I would rather it not.
Please pardon me for the lengthyness of this post; I post sparingly, so I hope I have not burdened you much in reading this. I know I myself most usually spurn reading anything much longer than three sentences.
Fare thee well this day and enjoy the New Year. To whom it applies, I hope to see you soon.
