It's October 7, and it's been two weeks since I've written an entry. I had a great start to my semester: I was losing weight, getting back to faith and truly expanding my knowledge while pursuing a grueling career in graduate school. However, attention towards becoming a "better man" dropped off, and I found myself playing catch-up for the past two weeks. I made a couple decisions that weren't too smart in terms of time management and leisure, and now I find myself working hard when I could be relaxing and easing back into a difficult week.
This week will be the week of turning in outlines, making presentations and taking exams, so I find myself always preparing for something else after I've completed something. It's one of those weeks where I find that I'm already looking forward to the end of it, when I can drive home and be with my family. Looking at the list of things I have to do, however, just increases the distance. Tomorrow I don't have much to do, but I have to prepare for a presentation on Wednesday. After that, I have to prepare a paper proposal for my Thursday class, then prepare for an exam on Friday. Alongside my classes, I'm teaching 25 hours this week, as well as completing a course on Coursera. Once I turn in the final project for that course, I think I will post it here (preview: I'm writing a mock business strategic analysis on the Heinz Corporation for my final deliverable).
In the end, I'm just trying to start this week off right, but I don't really have much of an inspiration for today. My inspiration is more or less that I got back up off my feet and began to write again. Convince yourself to not lose focus on the big goals in life, and remember that it's better late than never to get back on track. Let's have a good week and take care of those goals.
