10/27/12 Journal Entry

            When I finished my morning routines, there were six things that I was intent on doing before the dawn came the next day, (I have irregular sleeping habits), for the bettering of myself and those around me.  One was that I would take an hour and a half to study my various subjects for school for my grade benefits.  The second was that I would take three to four hours editing a review video that a friend of mine had me direct and edit which would have been to both of our benefits; I obtaining practice with the skills and testing of a new editing program and he in his attempts to get an ongoing web series with a large following.  The third was to wash the dishes in my kitchen which had grown out of control in number and to spend an hour writing out a new project that I have been planning for far too long and have yet to do anything on.  The fifth and sixth things were to post Best Self and this article on this blog.

            My fifth goal I accomplished without much effort and considering that you are reading this the sixth was accomplished as well.  The other goals, however, were a little more challenging to complete then I anticipated.  What was originally supposed to be four hours of video editing turned into eight; the first four and a half at once and the other three and a half spread out throughout the day and ended up dominating at almost at the expense of my other goals.  While I do feel that I spent way too much time on said video, I do not regret spending so much time on it as accomplished more on it then I expected to.  During one of my breaks from editing I made my way into the kitchen, filled up the sink, let the dishes soak, and washed the majority of them.  Not as many as I originally intended but more then I honestly expected myself to do.

            My hour and a half of studying, however, was pushed back several hours and I didn’t finish this until around 1:10 A.M. on October 28, 2012.  It was done, but much later then it should have been.  The only thing that I failed to do was to start writing the project that I mentioned earlier and I am upset that I failed in this.  All around, it was a good day and one that was not wasted.  But I am positive that I can do better.
