It's been awhile.
I haven't felt particularly motivated to blog because I would inevitably feel obligated to talk about Japan but for the past month it's a large part of all I HAVE spoken about and anyone whom I care to address it with has likely already heard it from my own lips. Nonetheless, I wanted to kick the New Years Resolutions posts off the top spot and follow up to say that generally speaking, I have been keeping up with them as best I can and I think I'm doing alright.
I'll be at University of Maryland this Autumn. Since I have nothing really to do until then, I've been working provisionally and am looking for something a little more consistent and stable until school picks up. At least this gives me ample time for personal improvement and I have been making strides at the gym, that's for certain. Next goal, work in regular library and bookstore trips into my schedule as well.
I, of course, was depressed about Japan. But there is really nothing I can do to improve anything there. Despite myself, I'm starting to feel a little more buoyant lately, and would rather focus on my own needs and goals, and what I can do to improve myself. In the absence of worrying about what I cannot change, I can refocus my thoughts and efforts on what I can.
