I'm doing 40 things
i am definitely not a fly-by-the-seat-of-your-pants kinda go. i like to plan, make lists, weigh pros and cons, check my planner, and x things off as i go along. i like a chaotic schedule because i am orderly and the more i have to do, the more i can get done. pick any task, say studying for an exam or working out, and in any given week, if i worked 40 hours, went to all my classes, went to two parties, babysat my nephews, and volunteered, i guarentee that i would study more and work out more that week compared to a week i had absolutely nothing to do. for me, having nothing to do equates to perpetuating the nothingness. i am so excited to start my career, certainly not because i want to work (hahaha) but i know my productivity will exponentially increase. then i can get cracking on some of these goals, and add many more as this next chapter of my life gets underway.

6 entries . 11 cheers1 person
this is so important to me, yet so difficult to execute because of my inconsistent schedule. after i pass my boards and start a regular schedule at work, this goal is going to the top of the list, along with my other goal concerning a diet plan and weekly grocery shopping.
i really do love apple. i love the ipod. i love the iphone (although i refuse to buy it cause i don’t need it). i love their computers. i love their commericals. i love their ideas and designs. however, i was highly peeved when i found out that apple does not allow their ipod to work with rhapsody because they want you to spend $1 per song through their own itunes service. can you say, GREEDY ASSES!!! i bought the ipod because it is a superior product. i signed up for rhapsody because it is a superior service. if i want to put MY songs that i have paid for on MY ipod that i have paid for, i should be allowed to do that. so now i’m NOT going to buy that new apple computer, nor the iphone (if i ever decide i need it), nor a newer ipod… shame on apple! the bottom line is that i am getting rid of my ipod and buying a very cool sandisk sansa fuze. can’t wait!
