Start programming!

I wrote a lot of thoughts last night, so I’m not sure that I’ll have much to add today. Even though it was kind of late when I wrote all that, upon revisiting it I’m still content with it, and I intend to continue working on my mantra in the future. I’m re-adding programming to my list of goals, and I will schedule time for it every day.

SCHOOLWORK
I was feeling lazy and sleepy, so I only did two sessions of schoolwork for a total of 90 minutes. That’s unsatisfactory but not too bad, especially if yesterday is the only day like that.

EXERCISE
If I had had to plank for ten more seconds last night, I don’t think I would have made it. This morning was a lot easier. Later today I’m going to row.

SPANISH
I finished the first grammar unit. Adjective agreement rules can get a bit complicated—if they end in a consonant they only agree in number, unless the adjective refers to nationality or the ending is -or, -án, -ón, or -ín, in which case they must agree in gender also. It’s still not as bad as Latin or Russian, though. I asked Alexa about the date, but didn’t talk to Mom.

RUBIK’S CUBE
Solved a couple of times, including once at 1:14, but I got lucky there. I didn’t practice methodically. I think I might need to schedule this rather than expecting myself to do it without prompting.

PROJECTS – which I’m going to call DIY from now on
I finished cutting the wood for the patio table. The next step is sanding. I looked for the electric sander, but couldn’t find it—I’ll ask for help today. I had intended to watch a video about it, but I forgot what I was doing, which led me to watching residential wiring instead and because of that writing last night’s post.

PROGRAMMING
Although I’m in the middle of a project that I want to finish, I think I need a boost of success before jumping back into that bog. I found a 2-hour video teaching how to program various video games in javascript, so my plan is to spend an hour a day going through that. I’m also going to look for my dream job, though I probably won’t schedule that unless I don’t make any progress on it this week.

MEMORIZATION
I failed to review Psalm 18 because of one verse, ugh. I wrote out the first ten verses of Psalm 22.

BIBLE READING AND PRAYER
I read Mark 14. The Keller devotional was particularly relevant today—it talked about the vanity of work and the futility of perfectionism. I had difficulty starting to pray, but it got easier as I got going.

Escapism

I'm tired of doing things that have no significance. I'm tired of the escapism that sits at my doorstep and bounds inside at the sli...
