Along with wiser spending.

I'll be making wiser decisions overall. One of the main things that must come to an end for me is my tendency to procrastinate. Just like my foolish spending habits, me not facing any consequences led to me continuing this practice. But unlike my reason for bringing my foolish spending to an end, I had actually faced a repercussion for my lazy actions.

Waiting to work on something that should have been started on the day it had been assigned to me has officially come to an end. When it came to school work, I still managed to pull good grades. I believed (and still do believe) that me working under pressure brought the best out of me, but there's no doubt in my mind that I can attain the same or an even higher level of success by putting more time into my work.

Wiser spending.

I will not be spending my money stupidly anymore. I mean, I don't even have the urge to buy more than half the things I had been purchasing when I actually was spending my money irresponsibly. When I took time to think about the amount of money that I had spent in the last year or two, I was truly regretful. I'm not even using most of the items I had purchased. I won't be denying myself enjoyment, but I'm aware of things that I can do without and I am finally putting an end to the stupid spending. Not facing any repercussions for my stupid spending was my biggest problem. I would waste money and still be able to buy anything else that I needed or wanted. I'm glad I feel this way about my spending now than later.

She & Him.


Goodness, I cannot stop playing this. Beautiful album. To my surprise and satisfaction, their new album is scheduled to release in March. Sweet.
