| Summer PlansHello all! With summer quickly approaching, my mind has gone to its usual state of thinking about what I want to accomplish this summer, the goals that I would like to achieve. It seems like I do this every summer, and yet they always end the same way--with me accomplishing at best only a couple (if that) of the things I had set in the beginning. I'm always gung-ho when it starts, but it quickly fades. Does anyone have any advice on how to make my goals stick, on how I can be more motivated? Just some basic ones that I usually have are to run regularly (most everyday), to spend more time in prayer and the Word, to read more (and not just for fun, but "studying" in a sense to learn more and become more...intelligent I guess), and to try something new-I don't know what, but something new. I just don't want this summer to be a "bust" like previous summers have been. | | |
| Thanks to those of you who responded. But your responses prompted another question: Among other things, it was mentioned that posting more personal things just didn't feel "right" anymore because it would be weird or it felt like others wouldn't care anymore. Why do you think that is? Sorry for all these "Why do you think that is" questions. But that has been something I've thought about some. Not necessarily just on xanga, but in general. When I have something more personal to share, for some reason, I feel like other people won't care that much, so I don't know who to go to. I don't know where this feeling came from. It's not like anything happened to cause it, and it's not like I feel like that all the time, but it's just something that I noticed. Is this just something that happens as people get older, or is there some other factor? I know this post probably wasn't very clear, but it just came to me as I read the responses. Edit @ 7:40 pm--I thought of another question for you all (sorry  ) I was on the phone last night with Jen, and we were talking about worries and everything, and giving it up to God. But when you do that, the problems are still there. We were talking about jobs, and bills, and things like that, and you can give up the worries about them to God, but the problems are still there. You still have to find jobs and make money for bills and everything. So how exactly do you give it up to God? And another thing was this: I was telling Jen that for me, it's not so much worrying about finding a job and making money and everything (although that is a worry sometimes), but it's worrying about other people not understanding that I'm trusting God in all of it. It's good for me if I say, "Yeah, I don't have a job yet, but I'm trusting God," but I just get scared that it won't work for other people. Let me explain. I don't think my mom would accept that as an answer. She would be upset (even if I was looking for a job) and would constantly be on my case about it. And I thought about how Jen's parents would react if I asked them for her hand in marriage but I was in a crappy job or something like that (Yes, Jen and I have talked about marriage, but not for anytime in the near future). It was just something I thought about. I mean, I could tell her parents that I'm trusting God in everything, but trust in God isn't going to support Jen and me financially, you know what I mean? It's hard to explain on here. I know you're not supposed to worry about what other people think, but these are just real concerns that I was thinking about, and I just wanted some other people's opinions on it. Sorry again for the unclearness of this post. | | |
| What happened to xanga? No one posts on here anymore. (And until this month, I included myself in that "no one") I know Facebook has taken many people away; I'll admit, I was one of them. But even some of the most avid xangians don't seem to post much anymore (with the exception of 2 or 3 people). It's sad. I remember when I first was forced, that's right, forced to start this xanga. Ridgedaddy and Snell stole Lil Bibby (my stuffed monkey), and would not return him unless I started this. So I did, and I wasn't expecting it to last long. But I liked it and kept doing it. I remember I would check it all the time, hoping people had posted new things and commented on my profile. But now, xanga seems to have faded into the background. I guess part of it for me (excluding Facebook's influence) is because that I don't have as much to say anymore. When I was in college there just seemed to be a lot more to say, what with classes and being around all my friends and everything. I don't know. Nowadays I just work, come home and sit, and go to church a couple of times a week. It's a pretty dull life. What do you all think? (the 3 people still on xanga) Is Facebook to blame for the lack of xanga posting, or are there other reasons? | | |
| I'm glad it's Friday. Not that anything bad has happened or that I REALLY need a break or anything, but I'm just glad it's Friday. It's a nice day out. A little chilly, but the sun is out, so that's nice. I'm eating black jelly beans right now (so, so good). Every time I eat them now, I think about Jake Brooks' (quite accurate) comment that people either hate or love black jelly beans. There isn't any middle ground. I've never found someone that sort of likes them. It's interesting. But yeah, they're delicious  March is almost over; that's crazy. I bet you Hanoverians (and other college students) are happy that the year is coming to a close. I am. It's gone by super fast, but I'm ready for the next "chapter" of my life to start I guess. I don't know. I don't have tons to say, just wanted to post and say Happy Friday to everyone!! | | |
| So, I've had a cough for a little over a week now, and it's quite annoying. Although I think my abs are getting ripped from the constant contraction (for lack of a better word) from coughing, so that's a plus  Jen was down here for several days. It was soooo nice. It hadn't been that long since I had seen her (only like 2 weeks), but I was still excited and very glad that she got to stay for as long as she did. It sucked coming home from work and not having her be there waiting. Hopefully I get to see her again soon. I don't have much to say, it's just been a while since I've posted (I was sick and wasn't on the computer for a couple of weeks). I hope you all are doing well and are enjoying the warmer (sort of) weather. | | |
