Details, Neurosis, and Asperger's (DNA) -

Must focus on academics this year. Must not join extracurriculars. That's like my motto as I go into another year of college.

It seems like I'm most likely to write an entry when I'm sitting in a coffeeshop. I'm still home, but I will be at school soon out of state. As a result, I'm revising my July 30 entry of current activities. It won't be nearly as plentiful as it was this summer:

Academics:
Working on academics/studying every day
Using a timer for concentrating when studying
Going to the library to study
Working on time management

Psychological/Physical health:
Talking on the phone to good people
Affirming the gifts I have
Thinking about the impact I've made on people
Drinking iced green tea
Eating McCann's Irish Oatmeal

Social:
Hanging out with people who care about me
Occasional gossip about high school foes
Hanging out with a friend who gives lots of health advice and also loves intellectual conversations

Extras:
Listening to my iPod
Playing guitar
Analyzing things in popular culture
Contemplating how my not caring about historical context reflects my white privilege... I think
Singing along to Aretha Franklin tracks, as well as songs she covered

Hopefully won't have to do:
Working on feeling less down sometimes
Feeling stifled by grammar when writing (I know, I know, passive voice...)
Delaying worrying
Working on fighting less with relatives
Reading about staying alive

Current Location: a coffeeshop
Current Music: coffeeshop music, currently Fleetwood Mac, "Landslide" (original studio version)
