Spring semester complete!

I finished my schoolwork for the semester! Sadly (well, it might be a good thing too), my next classes start on Monday, so I only get five days of vacation. I intend to profiter-en/時間を生かす, mainly by doing a lot of programming and building a professional profile. I’m also hoping to do some correspondence with friends in Japan and family members and study some programming concepts and terms as well.

I finished the book about oil this morning, and I’m going to start King John. However, I decided to read a book about household chemicals so that I don’t get overwhelmed the Shakespeare. It’s more reference than narrative, but so was the book about the periodic table which I loved.

SCHOOLWORK:
This week’s assignments were even less daunting that they seemed at first, and although it was closer than I would like, I’m confident that I passed the classes. I won’t be updating this section again until Monday.

JOB:
I searched for more jobs yesterday and didn’t see anything. I did resolve to branch out regarding companies that I apply to. I don’t want to work in the financial sector, but the main thing is to get experience, and I can do that just as well there as elsewhere—it just may be more difficult to write a cover letter. I also realized just now that my search criteria are probably limited by location, so if I branch out to include Atlanta and DC, I will have better prospects.

EXERCISE:
I rowed for 26 minutes and did two sets of each of my other exercises. My core is definitely sore today.

SPANISH:
I learned about indirect object pronouns. The podcast that I listened to was an interview with a Mexican professor, and I only understood about 60% of it instead of the usual 95% or so. I did feel accomplished that I understood that much, though.

DIY:
I spent 30 minutes searching for the screws and brackets, and then when I finally tried to use them, the screwdriver battery died. Hopefully, I’ll have more luck today.

PROGRAMMING:
I’m still wrestling with using panels in Foodmaster. I’m hoping to work on all three of my projects today though.

PEOPLE JOURNAL:
I wrote about my brother, since I had visited him the night before. Today I’ll write about a friend in Japan whose email I just read.

BIBLE MEMORY:
Today I’ll finish memorizing Psalm 25! It’s quite shaky though so I’ll wait at least one day before moving on to Psalm 26.

BIBLE READING AND PRAYER:
I read Luke 10. Most interesting was verse 21: “In that same hour he rejoiced in the Holy Spirit and said, ‘I thank you, Father, Lord of heaven and earth, that you have hidden these things from the wise and understanding and revealed them to little children; yes, Father, for such was your gracious will.’”

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...
