Well well well well, hasn’t it been a hot minute since I did a reflection? Yes, yes it has! I am back on my groove again. I slowed my roll once again and somehow got distracted. Who knew?

I have been having a wonderful time working on all the things, but it has been time consuming. My statistics class started and it is absolutely wonderful! Being a full time student is fun but it impedes my progress on things sometimes. Which is sad but hey it is what it is. Statistics is a fun class, but it is also a time consuming class. I am trying to learn everything from it so that I am able to then turn around and start teaching others about it.

If I am being honest, I think I burned myself out a little bit with the quantity that I was writing for my blog the past few times. I feel like I am behind and need to catch up, but hey that is just how I am always gonna feel. I feel like I am the embodiment of the white rabbit from Alice and Wonderland and the train conductor from Polar Express. I will always feel like I am late for projects because I cannot work on them 24/7. I’ve been figuring something’s out other than school stuff of course.

I started to read and digitize some of my books so that I will always have them. Also started to digitizing a lot of the documents that I have laying around. I have so many that have gone unsourced for so long, now they are sorted and backed up! Luckily not all of my documents need to be kept physically, which makes me happy! Relieves some anxiety, I think I would hoard everything physically if I didn’t do this haha. Instead its much more space efficient to be a data hoarder. At least in my opinion.

Otherwise, when I have time late at night I have been playing video games for once in my life. I have kinda fallen back into my role of a night owl again, its nice and it means I get things done. However I have noticed that it means that my waking up process is slower once again. I don’t know if I will ever truly attain a “morning person” mentality. Thus I have been playing games and reading at night once again.

I’ve switched to writing all my “to do” list stuff in a composition notebook that I carry with me. I always forget how efficient those things are, I think I will start using more of them again. My works will be recorded in those and in binders. Unlike most people I seem to have an ample supply of both for free.

Otherwise, I of course have come up with a million and one other projects to work on. Only some of them will I actually work on I suspect. This is alright however, I love working on things but there is only so much time and energy to work on things. I continue to minimize my footprint physically however. What do I mean by that? Well, I mean the amount of stuff required for survival. As I may or may not have mentioned previously, I don’t remember if I have, my immediate family are not close by. Therefore I have a storage unit and bunch of stuff that is mine that I need to sort through, dispose of, and figure out logistically. I figure that based on the thing of being a younger person in college I will most likely have a few moves in my coming future. By minimizing the amount of space and stuff I have I think I should be able to reduce my overall physically footprint to something more reasonable and manageable. Especially if it is a quick move, if it is not then we should be all good. But if a quick move is needed I feel I need to be prepared for that eventuality. I do not anticipate its necessity, but I anticipate that I should have plans.

That’s another thing I have been thinking about recently, having plans. Having things documented so that if need by a known plan is set up for me or others. I gives me less anxiety knowing there is a planned set of events. I don’t think I am soon to need a will, however it is not a bad thing to have. Same thing with like a sudden move plan for if you get the awesome job. It’s just a good idea to know what you will do in the event of something like that happening.

So that is the past however long on reflection, hopefully it makes sense. It is only partially what I have been thinking about but this is alright. For the purposes of my writing, I feel it is a good length and explanation as of right now. I intend to pick up writing once again, hopefully in full force. That is to be seen of course.

Thank you for reading,
