4/7/2014

It was very late when I went to sleep last night.  I'm not sure of the exact time but it was after 3.  I woke up at 10.  So I got roughly maybe 6 hours of sleep.  I feel very tired today.

I have not been eating well.  I ordered out on Saturday after a few days of eating pickles and carrots.  I tried to eat leftovers from that on Sunday but it made me feel sick.  I have been skipping meals.  I need to improve my eating.

Yesterday I did get out and I went to CVS.  I walked around the store a bit.  I know this is not a lot of activity but it is more then I usually get.

My mood is about a 3 right now.  I was upset last night and I am still kind of raw from that.  It could go up or down based on some external triggers.  I am not sure how to internally control it.

I was supposed to start on this blog last week but I got distracted.  I am back on track now and it is up and running.

I have had some negative self talk about school over the last few days.  I have even said things to other people.  I am telling myself I am not going to make it as a student.  I don't even remember how to write a paper and my math is really poor.  I think these are valid concerns but they are something that can be worked on.  They are not the dealbreakers I am making them out to be in my head.

As far as tasks, this weekend I signed up for a Webinar that is scheduled for tonight.

I will attend the webinar tonight.

Hello World

When a computer programmer starts out the first program they often create is a Hello World.  It is a simple way to get started so I am using it.  I am going to write on this blog about my journey to college.  If I get in I will continue to write about my experiences as a student.  I'm going to post an outline of what my entries will look like here.

My blog will contain:

1.  A sleep log.  I struggle with sleeping and it effects my ability to get things done.  I will include when I took my meds, how much I have slept the night before, my activity levels, how I am eating and my mood.  I will rate my mood on a scale of 0-5.

2.  I will write about any distractions I have and how I am coping with them.

3.  I will write about any negative self talk I have and how I am coping with that.

4.  The tasks I completed the day before.

5.  The tasks I will complete today.
