You see the thing is...
So much for keeping up with promises. Here's my first update since I decided to announce my return to this LiveJournal.
I'm leaving for Miami in a little less than 72 hours. I'm really looking forward to this week off following my final exams. Come Tuesday afternoon, I'll be on my way to warmer weather and better food. I really want to take this time off to get some things in order. Order is one thing I've severely lacked. I didn't have much of it in high school, and college, thus far, has been much of the same. It was fine in college because my involvement in things forced deadlines and schedules on me. In college, filling up your schedule with tons of stuff to do isn't all too possible. I'm hoping to get myself a job next semester so that I'll stop cringing everytime I make a withdrawal from the ATM.
However, I hate saying all these things because it makes me sound like I'm so kind of degenerate without a modicum of responsibility. And, that's not the case. So far, everything has found a way of working itself out. I've put in the time necessary to get everything done, but leaving it all until the last minute remains my specialty. Perhaps I wouldn't be so upset with myself if I didn't have so many people around me who seem to manage their time so much more effectively than I do. These people make completing assignments seem effortless. Also, they're never in the rushed state I'm in whenever something is due. Don't get my wrong, at the end of it all, both me and these gifted time managers get everything turned in on time. It just seems that my approach seems to take a much greater toll on me. I don't look forward to sleepless night, but it seems like the only way in which I can function effectively.
I'm hoping that in the week that I'm back in Miami, I'll have alot of time to think about these things. I've escaped the first semester of Harvard and have been satisfied with myself. Despite this, I know that there's still room for improvement. I want to say come May of this year that I'm better off now than I was in January. There's a ton of stuff to think about on this upcoming vacation and I'm looking forward to whatever enlightening moments I may have in that time.
Speaking of order, my hope to wake up at 9:30 tomorrow morning to get some studying done for economics dwindles with every extra minute I stay up now. So, I'll just leave this entry as is, though I'm not entirely happy with anything that I've just said. Perhaps I now have an incentive to actually post on this damn thing.
