I have HUGE issues with this. I can’t pay attention in class for more than a couple minutes…I zone out frequently…a voice in my head blabs on about random shit and totally tunes out the prof. When I realize I’ve zoned out I snap myself back into focus…only to lose it again in another 5 minutes. It’s frustrating! Homework is the same story…I either zone out or look for ways to distract myself, like doing this (I’m in the middle of homework right now), or going on MSN, or phoning my parents…anything and everything…I am PRO at wasting time. I don’t know what to do to change this.

41. compliment at least one person each day
1 entry . 2 cheers8 people
I walked into an elevator today and a total stranger complimented me on my necklace. It gave me a little boost in my day…I find it so refreshing when I’m complimented by strangers. Compliments in general are really uplifting, especially when you don’t have that high of self-esteem. I was thinking about how much I appreciate compliments and I decided to compliment at least one person each day. Though I do give my fair share of compliments, I want to make a conscious effort to give one or two out to different people every day.
Well I was going to get up at 6 this morning to get going on my homework but I kept resetting my alarm and ended up getting up at 8:30. I always do that!! I just love sleep so much…I wish I knew how to force myself to get up on time.
