Week 2: Early to Bed, Early to Rise

Mission accomplished...

I may have thrown a few mini-tantrums, but got my act together and washed the dishes & counters before bed nightly. It felt so nice to wake up to a clean kitchen every morning.

(Did fail once, I admit. When I couldn't get to bed until 4:30am, dishes seemed infinitely unimportant. Not feelin' too bad about that slip, though. Extenuating circumstances, I'd say.)

In my next act, I will go to sleep and wake up at the same time every day. I'm shooting for 11:00 pm - 8:00 am. Though tomorrow I'll have to sneak out of bed a little early to make it to the International Students Office on time. Everything else should go nicely, though. That is the joy of being autonomous. It scares me a little, though - this drive to control every little aspect of my life. Good habits and self-discipline must be sacrificed SOMEtimes, I think. I would hate to miss out on a great opportunity just to make it to bed on time. Ick. So, spontanaeity and responsibility should be held in tension... This is my working thesis.

But now: to brush, wash, and turn that lamp of in time!
