school is going okay so far. i think it will work out this time.
i am starting to read and write less again. i could blame it on not having the time, but that wouldn't be honest. it's because i bought this damn computer and all these tv shows and movies are just a matter of clicks and minutes of uploading away. i thought that i had done really well in finding a balance for a while there. i need to work on maintaining it. those mad men episodes aren't going anywhere.
it is nice, though, to download movies instead of going and spending an obscene amount of money to sit in a theater full of potentially obnoxious distractions. i can't deny the convenience of it.
i think that i am very close to actually successfully budgeting myself. i may be counting chickens here, but i really think that i'm finally becoming financially.... reasonable? mature? i'm not sure what the proper terminology would be, but i think you get the idea.
there are still those things i am constantly working on. eating better, physical health, confidence, voicing my opinions in an articulate and concise manner, not compromising for the sake of avoiding confrontation on any and all fronts, not compromising my goals and dreams, selling myself short.
sometimes you have to abstain from allowing yourself to be overcome with wonder towards everything and be a little reasonable and accommodating of your personal limits. you can live life as cinematically as you want in your mind, but it's not going to translate well through your actions, and you will be constantly and consistently disappointed. i need to remember that.
and now, to completely contradict myself, i'm going to take a long drive to the beach to meet up with my friends and indulge my place in the divine comedy that is this silly little life i lead.
cheers.
