Recently (meaning the last two weeks or so)I've been seriously re-thinking my life and the direction in which it is currently going (that direction being, nowhere definite)and I've been realizing that perhaps it is time for me to rearrange my current priorities, and add some new ones to the bunch. I think making a list of everything will help me to decide which things are most important and will help me find a new (or at least, revised)path to take for the nearing future.
So, in no particular order, they are:
-Figure out a job and/or internship for when I graduate in December. With the way things are going these days, I really need to start looking and applying now.
-Going along with the previous priority, I need to figure out where I want to be and all the specifics involved, i.e.: budget, living quarters, travel time, etc.
-If necessary and/or possible, find a second part-time job for the Fall. That would mean that I would have to work EVERY night except Sunday, but that really just might have to happen.
-Working harder to keep progressing spiritually via frequenting the temple more often, making a goal to have time each morning to pray, read scriptures, and meditate. I always do that right before bed, but all the General Authorities and stuff keep sayin that it's better to do it in the morning, so I guess there must be something to that.
-Work with mentors/teachers to possibly present a paper or get published in a student/scholarly journal.
-Do more volunteer work.
-Take better care of myself physically through eating better, continuing yoga twice a week, and working out more during the week as well.
Seems a little bit overwhelming, huh? That's why I needed to write it all down so that I can pick and choose the most important things and be able to have a clearer focus in my life. Hopefully I do it right.
