Ever wondered why you can’t get anything done…? Well I have. It’s just setting your priorities straight. From the most important thing you have to get done, down to the least important. Sadly, some people don’t know how to set their priorities straight, and they say they do. There are a lot of ways to be able to set ones priorities. Its just that we all have to know what we HAVE to do from what we WANT to do. And that’s pretty much it. HAVE meaning we need to do it ASAP. And WANT is just for leisure sake or that you got bored with that HAVE to do thing. The reason for shifting of priorities.
As for me, here are my priorities for this summer:
- School - OJT
- Moomedia
- Family
- Leisure
- and lastly, Vinno.
Yes. You’d think he is 3rd on my list right…? Unfortunately, no.
I take OJT first since I want to graduate on time and that I don’t want to waste my time goofing around this summer when I know I could have done something. Moomedia, the org that I am part of. It comes second because the moment I have nothing to do and that I know I have something to do for that org, I do it. Family comes next. Since I live with my sister and her husband, I don’t really have to worry about almost anything. Except for the fact that I miss my bed at home, I miss my parents, I miss home-made food, I miss my niece… Other than that, I am perfectly fine.
To get out of the boredom or the stress. I take leisure as my next priority. I either play The Sims LifeStories, or I watch a DVD or the TV.
Lastly, Vinno. He comes in the last of my list. Why? Because we’ve had enough time together. He even wanted some time alone a while back with his friends, I heard. And complains that we have more than enough time together. He’s telling me that?! He’s the one that’s always on my tail!!
Everything is set. That’s how I wanted my priorities to be. And so far, it is.
Now, for others, it just isn’t so. They prioritize something else other than school, like say playing online games, or the org. It’s a waste of time I tell you.
Aren’t they more important than the rest on that list? 
Thank you for the reminder.

Hey, sorry I forgot to change your link! Thanks for the comment. Don’t worry about the package..to be honest I’ve completely forgotten about it, and it really doesn’t matter if you can’t send it
Whao, what country did you go to?
I agree, life has to have priorities- what you need to, have to and want to. But for me, I usually procrastinate and leave the have to’s after I’ve done the want to’s even though I know I’m not suppose to. I think its very brave of you be so determined to stick to those priorities, and I wish you good luck
homesickness is awful, but the thing that can keep you going is the knowledge that you will be home surrounded by family afterwards..
