Back at School!

I'm officially back at King's as of today. I have a spacious room all to myself this year, and loving it so far. I've also met some great new people (who seem to be in awe of my guitar skills) and become reacquainted with some old friends. 

Below are a few goals I have made for myself to ensure I have a great term. 

1. To be in the Word every day (using tools like the Daily Audio Bible)
2. To not sleep through any classes
3. To attend church every Sunday
4. To always be actively reading a book for pleasure
5. To blog faithfully (I have yet to determine how frequent this will be)
6. To eat in the cafeteria at least as often as I eat alone in my room
7. To open my room door as much as possible, to allow others into my space (and hence, into my life)
8. To be intentional about being in dialogue with my professors about deadlines, projects, extensions. I struggled last year with having several major projects due at the same time as my voice jury was looming - the stress made me unable to sing properly. I'm going to avail myself of the right to request an extension whenever needed. 
9. To not be afraid to tell a professor that I will not be completing a project. Also, if it seems mathematically correct for me not to bother spending time on a project that isn't going to have much effect on my final grade for a course, I'm endeavoring to have the courage to simply say "no".

This list may lengthen, or shorten, as the term goes on. But this is at least what I'm going to be working toward. 

Which reminds me, I haven't actively read a book for pleasure yet today. I'd best do that now.
