I'm here in my dorm room actually studying. And I hope God will bless me as I do so. Lord, help me absorb all of this so I can reap high grades for Your glory. Also, I'm only writing in here today because I want to be able to shade the box on my task tracker, which tells me that I need to journal every single day. And my roommate Mitzi and I had the longest conversation we've ever had so far. I really hope I'm not the dumbest person in CS 12. --- I've been reading all these self-help articles and books and i've only begun to apply them this week so it's been really hard controlling me urges to procrastinate. It's not natural for me to study like this. I'd rather be asleep. Cal Newport, Barbara Oakley, etc. --- Random memory of the day: I was riding a boat with my family because we had a RO-RO (roll on roll off) and went to travel the whole Philippines. I don't remember much of it, but I remember being in this really windy area of the boat and being angry at my mom for some reason. I had no idea why. I even slept while sitting, which isn't unusual for me. It's just that my mom remarked something about it afterwards. I think we even got to see dolphins. I really wish I was young again, with no problems. Oh and I remember those times when on Sundays after church I'd just go on Disney.com and play games all afternoon after eating lunch. Of course the house was really different back then and I could say we were all different people, my family and I, relatively.
