The leaves are turning colors...

I love fall! :) Today's update is a preview of my brain:

Life

• Got a marketing internship.
  Yay! I'm starting today or tomorrow (remotely). If the company likes me, I might get upgraded to part-time or full-time work. I'm taking it slow and steady. :)
• Finally deposited a reimbursement check I got two months ago.
  Waited so long because I didn't want to look for my deposit slips. #barriers
• Going to apply for a credit card today.
  Financial responsibility, continued.
• Possible get-together with friends tomorrow.
  Last-minute rush, but might be the only chance I get to see my friend Kevin until who knows.
• Driving down to SoCal for Thanksgiving.
  Looking forward to honey-baked ham, pumpkin pie, and lots of laughs. :)

Church

• Fresh off an awesome church retreat. Preparing a song for Christmas service.
  Heart challenges, vocal warm-ups, and daily devotionals. (Not as formulaic as it sounds.)

Sports & Entertainment

• The 49ers are 9-1.
  Heck yeah! Being a fan for all these years is so worth it. #footballlove
• Debating whether I should buy Kelly Clarkson tickets for when she comes to San Jose on 3/27.
  (This is my sister's spring break, so we can go together!) It's been six years since I've seen Kelly in concert. Where did the time go?
• Terra Nova = getting worse. Once Upon a Time = getting better.
  I watch too much TV. Psych and NCIS continue to be the highlights, but The Mentalist is having a strong season too. I also watched The Vampire Diaries for my close friend Pamela. I know she appreciate sit. =P
• Loving Neil Gaiman's Smoke and Mirrors anthology.
  He is my literary hero at this moment. His talent and imagination are ridiculous. #genius
• Reading Allegiance to get inspired for sga_santa. Waking up early to write.
  I might need to watch a few episodes of Stargate Atlantis again to nail down the character voices. The research never ends.

... Yeah, I'm not really sure how I function either. I am glad that I've been more ruthless with my time lately. I cap the amount of time I spend on any given activity and force myself to move on once time runs out. This ensures that I don't waste a whole day on one activity; I actually get to read, write, watch TV, and be productive.

In turn, I find myself getting less distracted and wanting to work instead of watching music videos or TV episodes. I'm a master of one-pointed attention. If I'm focusing on a specific task, I won't do anything else. I can't split my attention. It's very useful when I need to get things done.

All right, I need to go off and run some errands now. I hope everyone has a lovely week and holiday season! *hugs*
