Today I have... Thread.

Apparently Mormon missionaries are phenomenally bad at actually converting people, but going on a mission makes it far more likely that the missionaries themselves will remain Mormon. I wonder if it's not the same with these street corner guys.

That's true. But at least Mormons are generally nice. Black Hebrew Israelites are complete assholes in public.

But the similarity I was referring to was the revisionist Christianity of Jesus having come to the Americas and preaching to Indians.

Huh, I wonder if there might be a common root in the nonconformist theologies that grew out of the Burned-Over District.

Today I emptied my aquarium and dumped the substrate because it was just becoming a cesspool of waste and was a hassle to clean. No matter how well I cleaned the bottom, there were so many places I couldn't reach because of my driftwood and hides. My poor girl has gotten cloudy eye twice and it's just not worth it anymore. I painted the back and the bottom black and I potted my cryptocoryne to be transplanted into my 5.5 gallon tomorrow. The whole endeavor took almost all day, but I'm glad I got it done. My fish is going to appreciate having a cleaner tank, and I finally have an excuse to set up my 5.5 gallon shrimp colony.

I managed to finish all the finals I had left for this semester. By fall, I should really start getting all the classes for my major out of the way. Being in college 3-4 years should be over already but it isn't. That's the price for not knowing what the hell I should of gone for when I started off.

Today I'm forcing myself to go without sleep so that I can get back on a normal schedule and not sleep through the important appointment I have tomorrow afternoon.
 
Today I got the thorn out of my foot, despite the doctor insisting that it probably wasn't there. It looks like you'd expect a thorn to.

Coloured one artwork, drew two A3 comic pages in pencil, just finished on A4 comic page in ink.

Any procrastination guilt has been excorcised for the day. I can have lunch now.
 
Today, I worked on a paper, and started reading another book, and fixed my daughter's phone, and took the kids to McDonald's, and paid a bill.

Well I got a D+ in that course I was worried about instead of the C- I was hoping for. So no credit for that. That's what I get for slacking off in even the slightest! No worries. I'll retake that class as an online summer course and get my diploma once and for all.

So I contacted my academic adviser and it looks like I actually did graduate this semester! By the skin of my teeth, since my major GPA is kind of shitty because of poverlevel reasons. But I can now move on with my life! Yay! My diploma should come in the mail mid-July. :biggrin:

Now to look for a job in my field...

Today I decided to change my diet. I'm committed to eating healthier and becoming more active. I'm keeping track of what I'm eating now. I'm about 70 lbs over what I weighed in high school and I kind of hope to get down to that weight again before my reunion in a couple of years. I'm going to be getting a membership at the local rec center and hope to get down to around 190-200 lbs (losing 20-30 lbs) by the time I get back to school.

I've also started getting ready for the PCAT, which is basically like the MCAT, but for pharmacy school.

Good luck man! I've been in a similar position with wanting to become more physically active and watching what I eat and drink a lot more. This gym I've been going to lately has been a great experience so far and I've found it to be a good stress reliever too. I've even been sleeping better as well.

Thanks. I've noticed when I was working out, I was feeling better and sleeping better. I usually do well for about a month but I just have difficulty sticking it through. Hopefully that won't be the case this time.
