I've been trying to shake things up a little bit lately. For some reason, getting angry at the situation I'm currently in did me good. I realized that if I want to change certain aspects of my life, I might as well start with small steps, but keep on doing them in order to make progress. What's big used to be small omce, right?
First of all, I took care of my schedule. It's been a while since the last time I was ahead of my school work, and it makes me feel really good about myself. Doing things on time encourages me to go forward. I'm thinking of trying to get some free lance jobs. Maybe I won't get the money I want right away, but I'll gain experience and satisfaction from actually doing something related to my field. I know I'm good at it, but I don't always allow myself to acknowledge it. For example, a couple of months ago, I was 99% done with a paper on the due date, but I gave it almost a week late because I was afraid of finishing it in a way that wouldn't be good enough. In the end, my actual grade was pretty good, but I got penalty for being late. After that I decided to trust myself more.
It's not surprising that I'm going through changes so quickly. I started writing this blog not so long ago, but its purpose was never to complain. When I wrote the first post, I already saw the need of a change. So righ now I'm sitting in a starbucks writing this post, and it's far from being the main purpose of my day. I got up early, went to the gym, had a little bit of shopping since it's black Friday, and after that I'll go back to writing my paper, which I'll finish today, over two weeks before the due date. So maybe these are small steps, but I'm starting to see an actual meaning to my actions. Even if it's small at this point. But it has space to grow.
