Morning Habits?

           As the title above suggests, there are quite several difficulties before and after we get off from our beds. Like say for example, you have set your alarm at 6:00 am because you have an early class at 7:30 BUT you woke up at 7:00 instead. Why is that? Maybe because when your alarm rang you turned it off, you ignored it and went back to sleep. In most cases, it really frustrates me more when I think about having to do so much things in just a short and limited time, but I do put the blame on myself. Another thing is, although you have caught up with your schedule, another frustration came after another, like "Where in the fvckin' hell is my bag?!" And so, you spent another 15-20 minutes looking for your bag, and TA-DAA! you found it under your bed but your'e late for almost half an hour already. Wait, I almost forgot, there are also times you pass across your computer and think, "Perhaps I should replace my status message on facebook..." but unfortunately, you're now late for more than an hour :)

Talk About Goals, I Have Plenty :)))

           Goals? Come to think of it, I haven't been aware myself about my own goals. To be honest, I still have goals like most of us do but without complexities and such. As far as my memory serves me right, I got plenty of goals when I was young-- to graduate from secondary education, study at a good university, and enjoy youth. Sounds plain and simple, right? Well, it can't be helped, at least I'm not yet encumbered with these kinds of stuff.  I am not "fully" aware and conscious about my own goals, like what I've said before. Still, I need to admit that the simplest goal I have gave birth to unexpected events in my life. At the very least, allow me to share a thing or two about my own personal goals.

           Just a snapshot, in the past I had a ton of goals! Either in short or in long terms, I had every possible goals that a normal middle schooler can't even think about. Yes, I was totally young during that time, and short. I had been thinking about becoming a future singer, dancer, chef, television broadcaster, and celebrity- you can name them all! I can also remember the days when I dozed off and daydreamed  in class. Obvious enough, just the thought of it really sounds utterly stupid and hilarious. I know it was gravely impossible but still I dreamed for those kind of professions. But seriously, you can't blame me if I had such shallow goals. What do you expect from a middle schooler anyway? :) However, due to unprecedented yet inevitable regular motions of life, I already had discarded those kind of goals for my own future's sake. After which, I went to a regular secondary school, and it was more meaningful, and mature in so many ways. From that time, I had thought not about complexities of having a goal, but the outcome of achieving a simple one. Let's say for example, doing an assignment isn't that hard, right? But then again, if you aced a homework from your own set of goals, it feels really different, it feels like you accomplished something great from something so simple. My goals that time were pretty simple, like doing easy homeworks, passing major exams, getting a special award, all the short-term goals you can think of. Still, some of these goals are part of my daily routines right now. Thanks to them, I can now see even a clearer path ahead of me.

           Oh, I guess I have been talking so much about my past. So, right now, from this moment onward, don't expect much with the things I am about to say . At present, I can say my life is at its pinnacle stage. As a matter of fact, I am the main actor and I have been acting for quite long :) Sorry for the humor, I can't really help myself (lol). At the moment and as a university student, having goals whether short-term or long-term, simple or difficult is necessary. To make the long talk short, my current goals at present is to finish my summer sessions. It is my first time to take up a summer session and it turned out to be the opposite from what I have in mind. I thought it's easy, but it's not. Also, with relevance to my summer class' goal and outcome, I am hoping to get a GPA of 1.75 and higher. Oh, a "two-in-one' goal? :) I know it is difficult for me, nevertheless I will satisfy myself whatever the outcome is. Proceeding another year in my course without any problems is also one of my goals, however, "difficulty" has always been my constant companion. Should I rather thank him for being so? lol

           In the near future, I will become the next president of my country! No, that is absolutely not my goal in the near future :) I mean, how could I? Anyway, most of the kids really like this statement, and I'm sure it's not a bad thing. Right now, I'm having funny thoughts about what will I become of this world. Should I become a doctor because I want to cure the sick? As for me, even though I really want to, I can't, so out of the talk. Perhaps a soldier? nah, impossible in every way since I can't really hold a gun. How about becoming a professional lawyer? Yes, might be possible, I have dreamed to become one not because you can negotiate "under-the-table- business but because I want to prove something. That "something", I have not found yet. A great confusion is actually troubling my head every now and then. I seldom say to myself that I will become a writer but unfortunately, I am still not good enough with writing. But I have always believed that we are all writers to begin with. I can also imagine myself standing in front of students, teaching them, then perhaps, will I become  a teacher instead? Teaching has always been a noble profession, and I have always wanted to experience teaching, I am not sure if I can though. With all these future profession goals I have in mind, will I become one in the future? The possibilities are staggering, I'm sure time can only tell.

           I am exhausted, seriously. I have not written such enormous paragraphs for a very, very long time. Going back to the main point, what is the point in all of these? What is the point in having goals whether simple of complex? Apparently, I know one thing for sure. Having goals help us shape our lives, it also gives us a direction toward this unchanging world we are living in. Now I ask you, do you have any goals? Asking is quite irrelevant since we always have one. But the real deal is, should we be serious or not with our goals will determine our future, let us not forget it.
