Old Habits Die Hard

How is it that I couldn't even get through my first homework assignment of the semester without being so distracted. All I have to do is read chapter one from my English book and I've only gotten to page four. I've probably  been sitting here for about 15 minutes. So I finally got half way through the reading and I had to stop again, because I literally cannot keep my eyes open. I'm not sure if this book is extra boring or if I'm just extra tired. Done with that assignment. I still have to read a chapter for psychology and write a paper. I think I'll put that off until after I take a short nap. I think I'm actually going to start rewarding myself when I do hard work. Like I just finished my English homework so I'm going to chill out for a minute and write this blog. I think that will help keep me sane. I have three new roommates now. Susan, Natasha, and some girl who told us to call her Jay because no one can remember her name. They are all way nice. Natasha is from Ukraine..how cool! And Jay speaks like five different languages. So my classes are going to be a lot harder than I thought this semester. I know I will like them, but there is going to be a lot of homework. My English teacher seems really funny. He started out the class on Monday by saying, "My names is Brother Gagon, like a homosexual pistol." I think I'm going to like him. Plus he said English 201 is a lot more fun than 101. My psychology class is a lot bigger than any other class I've had. There were people who didn't have anywhere to sit. I mean I think there were people who came in that were still on the waiting list, but still. Oh oh! Kyle got me the CTR ring I wanted for Christmas. :) Anyways, communications is going to be fun. Haleigh is in that class with me. I think I will be able to keep up in my math class this semester. If I can't keep up in this math class I'm in big trouble, but my teacher seems like she's going to take it slow. Marriage prep is going to be awesome. It's going to be a lot of work, but I think it will be worth it. My teacher is hilarious. We have to go on a date, go to divorce court, and some other ridiculous things to pass the class. We have to rate the date we go on and one of the choices is "I had a terrible time. I hate you Brother King! May your soul rot in Hell!" That would have to be one BAD date. Another choice I thought was funny is, "What a great assignment. I think I've met my eternal companion." If we get engaged to someone in the class we automatically get 5,000 points out of 4, 915. Too bad someone isn't in that class....I thought of a few things that are really going to help me do well this semester...
Go to church every Sunday
At least show up to every ward prayer/FHE/fireside
Go to every devotional
Do my homework the night before it is due
Read my scriptures before I do homework
Get a math tutor
I had some more in mind, but now I forget. So today I spent close to three hours at Walmart. My roommates and I went and one of them decided to take two more hours than the rest of us to shop. Her phone was off, we couldn't find her, and we even called her over the loud speaker. Low and behold, she bought groceries for what looked like a family of seven. No joke. But I didn't buy a single frozen dinner, yaya me! Forever 21 didn't schedule me once this week, so I'm going to be very poor. I really need a new job.
