I've come to a big realization that I am much too dependent on things coming my way, rather than being proactive about going out and making them happen, both on a smaller and larger scale. I am going to do everything I can to change this. It worked so well for me for housing. I haven't been so active about things as I was with that. I want to make things happen. I called res life repeatedly over the past week and made it clear that if I didn't get a place to stay, I would not be able to attend the school. Lo and behold, I not only got a room, but I was able to snag a room to myself with a shared bathroom, which was the best possible outcome overall. If this is what happens when I apply myself, then I absolutely must apply myself to the rest of my life too. If things could be better simply by my applying myself to living, rather than sitting and waiting, then all I need is to shift myself in that direction and things will improve. Right?

It seems to me that things will work best if I apply myself. So, let's get to it. I'm going to go send an email to the attorney general, I've got a shot at a city internship and I will be damned if I miss out on it.

Keep smiling, everyone.
