For ages and ages I have been meaning to take pictures of my favorite run that I seem to go on every day now- it is through rolling hills along the mountain in what looks like a field of wheat. Today I finally brought my camera along, and it died after a picture of the flowers, before reaching my field. Boooo.

Also, I am steadily remembering how tiring being a student is. Wow.  And I have decided to make some important life changes.  I have to keep it short because my bedtime is now, but here goes.

Problem:  Fun tasks like investing have become dull chores, as well as keeping in touch with friends and other things, because they are on my to-do list.  I think of them as work. I have negative associations with it, and I am depriving myself of enjoying my productive time or play by labling it as such.

Solution:  I am eliminating the word “work” from my vocabulary.

Problem:  I ride the bus and walk to school, and it takes a combined thirty minutes.  I can’t read, because I get carsick.  I can’t sleep, because I will miss my stop.  Not relaxing enough to unwind. What is a girl to do?

Solution: Podcasts.  I can quench my desire to learn about other stuff like renewable energy and world happenings without cutting into study time, yesssss.  I need good ones though.  Let me know if you have recommendations.  It’s bed time.
