Day 8 - short term goals this month and why.
Lose 5 lbs before the month is up. Why? This is why.
I calculated my BMI...in a few years my BMI and I will be the same number.
F*@%!
5 lbs...a good start.
Set foot back in the gym. Seriously, you'd think I was deathly allergic to gyms with the way that I've avoided them in the last few years. It's pathetic. My brother is running across the country and I get winded walking up 25 steps to work to sit in a chair for 12 hours. Pathetic.
Finish at least 1 chapter in 1 of the Psych books that I have. Why? Cause I'm paying $6300 for a BA and I made a promise to some people 8 years ago when I started dispatching that I would finish my BA at some point in my life.
What else...how about the damn laundry that never goes away? See this. Oooooh yes...this has been going on for years. I have to PURGE some stuff away. I've been binging for far too long. It's just ridiculous. I even have another bedroom to use now. OMG...embarassing!
What else...I don't know. Survive until March. I'm busy. I'm tired.
Oh, oh...survive LASIK surgery. Yeah...that's happening on the 25th. Stay tuned. I even get eye patches. Arrrgh, you scurvey wench. Swab the decks!!!
That's it. Short term. Short like midgets.

on the bucket list...
"Get my Bachelor's Degree"
I am. Doing it, going back to school...
Did I tell you?
I didn't think so.
November, 2010, the lady from the online university sees an empty seat at the table I'm sitting at and has a seat next to me and we start talking. The next day, I give her all my info to see how much credit my work experience qualifies for. The next week, she tells me it's only 13 classes to a Bachelor's Degree. Open-book, self-paced, no classrooms to sit in...and a cost that is the equivalent of 1/8 of the monthly cost of my car.
So guess what? After almost 10 years of being out of school, I can't wait to get my newest textbook and finish my first class. I'm shooting for A's. Yes, A student material you have here behind this keyboard.
What pray tell am I studying? Well...Pshychology of course. The study of the mind, reaction, and human behavior. The self-reflection is happening. The labeling of me, my friend, my family, and my enemies has begun.
What am I going to do with said degree? Well, I don't have that figured out yet, but I think that I still want to be in the business of helping people. Maybe I can even help myself a little along the way. Here's to hoping...
