I feel like all of my resources are tapped out. I can't think of anything to write about. I think it's because I'm stuck in this same routine, and I can't break the habit. I'm like a robot! Here is my schedule:
Sunday - Church, Church
Monday - Work, Workout, Softball
Tuesday - Work, Workout, Overflow
Wednesday - Work, Workout, Cornerstone
Thursday - Work, Work (Deuce)
As my mother has so adamantly reminded me, this is the life of the average person out of college. BORING! Where are the new people, new faces, new friends? Quote me on this: Routine is for people who have given up on adventure or yielded to "growing up." I'm 23 years old. I am no where close to letting myself live a life of the average person.
If you notice, I left out Friday and Saturday. That's because I've come up with a compromising solution. Friday and Saturday, I make no commitments or plans about what I'm doing. If I decide to drive to Lubbock at noon on Friday to hang out with my brother, I like to know that when 4:00 comes I don't have to cancel anything or check with anyone first; I can just get in the car and start driving. I might already have a bag packed because I know that I'm going to want to go somewhere over the weekend.
So far, this strategy has been quite successful. It is helping me ignore the normalcy and routine of my life during the weekdays. Since adapting this strategy, this is what my weekends have amounted to: College Station, TX (04-18), Adair, OK(04-25), Fayetteville, AR(05-01), Dallas, TX(05-09). This doesn't mean that I'm going to try and leave OKC every weekend, but the odds of me turning down an opportunity are pretty slim.
For the time being, I am content with my lifestyle, but let me warn you, I'm getting antsy sitting behind a desk all day staring at a computer screen. Don't be surprised if you see a change in the future that gets me out from behind this desk and helps me break the mold of averageness that I'm being forced into.

ReplyDeleteI think I was misquoted. I was trying to make a point that there are periods of time in your life where you have to put your time in at a job that might be boring or not fun or exciting or whatever to move up the ladder. However, I believe that how you view life is up to you and the choices that you make.
ReplyDeleteAs I said last weekend, I want only the best for you and for you to be happy.
I AM excited about your weekend. I love to see you cousins (family) together. I liked your other post a lot. I am glad that you value your family. That is very important to me. And you can quote me on that one. Love from Vegas!!! I am off to find a penny slot.
