I woke up late today. It’s a beautifully dreary day, my
favorite kind, but it also makes me sleepy. I drank a lot of coffee.
SCHOOLWORK
I met my time goal, and enjoyed studying professional ethics, even if I disagreed with some of the answers. The philosophy reading is fatiguing and long—about 25 pages per chapter, and I have to read three chapters per week. 75 textbook pages is a whole lot of philosophy. Also, I’m not enthusiastic about the forum topic for this week, which is due on Thursday. But I’m going to take it one step at a time.

JOB
I worked on my website. If I’m going to meet my goal of ten applications for the month, I need to hurry and finish it, then find some places to apply. Okay, I’ll make a goal (and write it down somewhere that I can see it)—I’ll have a working website and a few places to apply by the 27th. This is the day that my public speaking class should start, and thus will signify a reduction in my free time.

EXERCISE
I did the usual two reps of my daily exercises.

SPANISH
So at the moment I’m doing 15-20 minutes of grammar study, and possibly listening to a podcast. I need to do more. It would be nice if I could find a book that I was interested in reading—I’ll use the extra time in my half hour of Spanish to look for possibilities there. I’m also thinking about using a website to practice conversation. The idea is to agree to meet and speak half in one language and half in the other. If I found the right partner, I think it would be a very useful tool, but getting started will undoubtedly be difficult. I’ll make setting this up one of my free time activities.

DIY
Mom bought me some pipe clamps, so I was able to put screws in with confidence and made a square! The drill battery ran out (surprise!) and I wasn’t exactly sure what to do next, but at least I finally got started putting something together. I’m actually excited about this hobby, especially since I watched the video. However, some of the equipment seems like it will be quite expensive. I guess I’ll just make projects that don’t require table saws or miter saws until I’m confident that purchasing them will be worthwhile.

PROGRAMMING
I worked on my website for about half an hour, but got frustrated with a component that was not working as it should. It was a bad time of day to be programming, and I was tired from lack of sleep, too.

PEOPLE JOURNAL
Yay! I forgot to do this yesterday, but today I wrote about a friend from church. I decided that I need to do it at the beginning of my blogging/planning session, before I get fired up about getting back to work.

BIBLE MEMORY
The first half of Psalm 26 is okay. Psalm 25 is good up until the last three verses. Today I start Psalm 27, possibly my favorite.

BIBLE READING AND PRAYER
I agreed with the devotionals today, but I didn’t have any particular thoughts about them. Both of the prayers seemed almost irrelevant to the actual devotional.
