Being Productive

I finished up with my spring semester last week feeling pretty good about. I'm pretty sure I passed all my classes with an A. This is the first year I'll be taking summer classes so I only have a week off of school before I go back and I made a deal with myself: be productive. Do what you want to do, but make sure it's a step forward. And I have to say that it's working out very nicely.

Since I have this week off, I told myself to spend 1 hour a day cleaning. And already the house is looking much nicer. Tomorrow is going to make a bunch of difference cause I'll be working in the kitchen. Once school starts, I won't have that much time to clean every day, but I will try to spend at least an hour a week cleaning. That should help keep up all the hard work I put in this week and make moving out cleaning much easier. Hopefully it will work out and I'll have a new habit. Plus, it's exercise and every little bit helps!

Speaking of exercise, I've started the 200 situps, 200 squats and 100 pushups programs. It's just strength training but since I don't have my twice a week dance class anymore, I was feeling sluggish and wanted something physical to do. It's not so much that I want to lose weight or get in shape or anything, it's just a test to see if I can stick with it and whatever results I get will be better than sitting on my ass doing nothing. 

Those two things, along with blogging once a day are kind of my three 'make changes for the good' plan that I told myself I would work towards. They have nothing to do with future ambitions or goals, but they are for a better me. Making me a better person. Which, if I can make better choices for myself, they will hopefully transfer over into my career and other life choices. So wish me luck in my journey and hopefully everything will work out for me.
