One of my favorite songs is Good Morning by Kanye West. It's a good song, and one that is gracing my ears as I type these blessed words on this blog, and in case my mother is reading this, it is the clean version, don't worry. As I thought about what to write about on this occasion of this first required blog post, I think of beginnings. Each time Kanye sings "good morning," I think of the beginning of a new day or the beginning of a new era or the beginning of a semester. People start out new years or new semesters with plans, schemes, visions, hopes, etc, and though it's been years since I've made a list of resolutions or goals at the commencement of a new year, I often find myself with a new energy and a new plan of attack for those new periods of time. The extra week of winter break gave me an opportunity to really catch my breath and actually be excited for a new semester. I was able to read a book for pure enjoyment rather than by assignment for the first time in years. I loved the ideas I learned from Mindset, and would highly recommend it. I'm taking this opportunity to think about several new things that I hope to exploit to my advantage this coming year:
- A new schedule that provides me with big blocks of time to be productive and get a lot done.
- New people moving into the ward to become friends with
- New skills obtained in classes to increase my qualifications for future jobs
- New vision of where I want to go with my stats background (not so much the actuary path as the business/marketing route)
- New additions to the CHI ultimate team
- Some new dinner options I became aware of/learned to make over the break
Since I want to practice adding pictures to these posts to spice things up, here's a picture I snapped after practice yesterday at 7:35 am.
