I've got a credit, might as well post
Things are going well after 2.2 weeks of class. I'm mostly settled into a routine, I've got a thesis advisor, and I don't have too much work. Generally, I feel good about this year. I suspect it may have been a bad idea to get into another play, but what the heck... You only live once.
Today I went to the Swing Club. They have free lessons (at a marginally inconvenient time, but I think it'll work). That is, in fact, where my exercise credit came from (also, I'll give myself one from the rehearsal right afterwards, but I don't really need two, and they expire in 12 hours, so yeah). Learned the Lindy Circle, I think. I'm not sure exactly what it was, but it was pretty fun. I think I will continue going in the future.
Resolution Roundup:
1. Service: not so hot. I thought I signed up for the SVC spam list, but I haven't actually gotten anything from it yet, so maybe I didn't. I've decided that hours undone will get added to the next month's balance, plus 50%. So, I now have 10 hours to do in October.
2. LJing only with exercise: So far so good.
3. Pocket Journal: High's and Low's has fallen to a roughly weekly thing (I do it in church, usually), but it's definitely been helpful to have things to write with and on.
4. Artistry: I got a guitar, and have been spending a few hours a week trying to teach myself chords (I can now reliably produce C, G, F, and Am). Harder is moving between them with any speed, but that will come with practice I'm sure.
5. If-I-can't-see-meat-I'll-eat-it-ianism: So far so good.
Hmm... Nothing else to add, really. Life is good, but busy. I'm not behind on anything yet, but not as ahead as I'd ideally like to be. But still, not bad. Now bed so I can be coherent tomorrow.
