Before orientation, I promised myself that I would start practicing for my audition and getting organized for my China trip and for college the week after orientation. Here I am... with no progress on anything (heh heh!). Yes, most of you will say, "yeah Emily. Cut it out! It's your summer before college..relax." And yes, I will relax, but I will still do productive stuff like go to the gym, practice, and read.
My dad recently took an online self-taught programming class on this medical computer program. He's been working almost 24/7 for two weeks, and he took his 2 certificates this week. He was always on the computer dedicated to that program and learning it so he can get a better job in this awful economy... and he did it! (no job yet..) He aced both of his tests! And it takes most people 6 months to finish the course--let alone even pass the test.
So, I know he went really hard core. But I need that motivation... and that dedication for the rest of my life. No, I don't need to be a workaholic. But I must be passionate and crazy about what I am doing.... and stop wasting time being dumb.
Although relaxation is always necessary.
