Cleaning

is what my morning has consisted of so far. I just finished my room, now onto my car. It feels good to see things neat and organized. It's not like my room was a complete disaster, but it still is nice to pick things up and put them away. My next task is cleaning out my car. Vacuuming, the whole nine yards. Time to get started!

Today, I'm going up to Chicago to see the author of that book, Mr. Rob Bell. I'm headed up there with Ashlee, Ty, Evan, and Bryan. It's the Drop Like Stars tour. And I couldn't be more excited. I'm anxious to hear what he's going to talk about.

Locomotion

Today I went on a run around the subdivision. It felt good to be active again. As I expected, I'm fairly out of shape. I can still feel the ache in my legs as my body is trying to recover. I'm going to keep on this, exercising ever day. It feels good to be making progress. To be working towards something that will show results. To be working towards a healthier me.

I felt that it was a good incentive to start blogging again, since I've been lacking. School starts next week. I have mixed feelings about it. It'll be nice to be back in school, working on finishing my Associate's Degree. It'll also keep me busy. I'm really going to focus on doing well this semester, living on my own kind of screwed me over last semester since it was a lot harder to keep up with my schoolwork. I'm currently working on my application to Bradley. I'm hope I get in, so far that's my plan for after ICC. I still have a year to decide, but it's good to get a head start on all this. Scholarships, loans, it's all rushing back to me. I really haven't had to think about it much until now, since I have only two semesters left here at Illinois Central. I'm going to start working out, as well as watching what I eat, and not eating out so much. Ashlee is going to help me create a budget I'm going to try my hardest to stick by. We're going to help each out with exercising and watching what food we eat. Oh, and I plan on starting a savings account so I can actually start saving some money. I've been applying for jobs like crazy the past two weeks, I'm really hoping to land a job SOMEWHERE by the end of the month. Hopefully, that'll happen. When I get some of my debt paid off, I'm going to get my next tattoo. "All I want is a little place of my own where I can rest my head." It's going on my left arm, upper and on the outside. My original plan was to have it inside my Illinois tattoo, but that didn't work out so well. Overall, It seems like I'm finally starting to take life seriously. Getting back into my school routine will help.
