have a plan

I have been working really hard in planning my next two years. It is very important for me to plan everything carefully, filling any pocket of time with a productive activity.

You see, I attempted university 4 years ago. I would have been graduating in the summer of ‘10 but unforeseen events manage to flip my life dramatically. I was messed up, to put it lightly. I managed to become a chain smoker, gain 40 pounds, move from my own apartment to my mother’s home. It was a nightmare there too. There was a lot keeping me from my studies. More than I can write in this space. Since then I have been wasting my life. I have quit and been fired from so many jobs and been a bum for close to 4 years. I’ve had too much time to have internal conversations to scare myself and lower my self worth. Because of this I am scared of everything. I think I can’t be successful at anything. I am changing this now.

I was given a second chance from my father. When everyone else had given up on me he didn’t turn away, instead he reached out his hand. I am making things right with his help. Every day I am working on bettering myself.

So far I have completed my two year plan for my studies. I have figured out what classes I will take when and at what campus. Since I am completing two majors it will take me 8 semesters to get my associates degree in both. I will be attending classes non stop from January 2010 to August 2012. It will not stop there, because the September of 2012 I will transfer to a 4 year university (Columbia College Chicago) to complete my degree. I will be 24 turning 25 years old. I am very excited about this.

I still have more of my two year plan to complete. I have to schedule in my work outs and my estimated study times. Also, I have to work in my dance classes and any other expected activities. So far, I am on the good foot.

- To my father, I love you.

I’m in the process of making a plan. I’m going to start by figuring out what I want. I’m not sure what kind of plan it will be yet. A life plan? maybe a weight gaining plan? it could be anything so this should be a great expierence!

Work one week a month and get paid like I was working the whole month. Give more, take less. Get a life worth having.

has several aspects:
1) feel more comfortable at home
2) sort out work situation so that it’s more suitable
3) feel fitter and healthier

I have even got sub-sections.

It’s a kind of plan…

...that this ties in with my “figure out what I want from life” goal. Although the figuring out what I want has to come first, as you can’t plan to get somewhere unless you know where you’re going.
