a little ahead

I realize I have the tendency to get a little bit ahead of myself. Especially when it comes to a vacation only a short time away. Things today made me think of a few things about the way I work and things I need to change.
- I'm not very good at focusing on the task at hand unless it is due... like in less then 12 hours.
- My mind likes to wander.... consider that an early vacation.
- I just wrote a paper about how I potentially have bought the wrong laptop. Which I totally disagree with the rational explanation. If that makes sense.
- How I value things and how I THINK I should value things are totally different.
- I often bite more then I can chew. I need to break down all my problems and solve them one piece at a time. Funny... I think that's how my room got clean.
- Times seems to pass so slowly when I want my vacation to come, and yet it flies by when I'm trying to remember what a particular lecture was all about.
- I need to just work hard from the beginning of each term, so I can check out early at the end of it. Totally worth it.

It used to be so hard for me to come up with these things. I think it was because I couldn't picture myself in the future. In fact I can't really see too far into it. At this point I just have a whole bunch of short term goals and a few vague long term ones. I don't know how I will satisfy those long terms goals. I'm sure I'll come up with something. All I know is, all of those things I need to do in the short term will become the stepping stones for those vague future goals.

I feel strangely philosophical about how my life is going tonight. It doesn't always have to make sense.

Sleep calls. I have to get up earlier to do more reviews. When I sleep and have great dreams... time flies.
