Sententia

Since about the first two or three days here I've realized that I do so much more of what I want to do when I don’t have unlimited access to a computer. It's as though I live under a myth that a computer will help me do what I want to do, when really all I do is check many different networking and communication websites and end up switching between them so much that I trick myself into thinking I’m doing much more than I actually am.
With out having my computer here with me, I have been able to:
• Read Future Grace by John Piper, a book I’ve been meaning to read for a while.
• Read Romans and it's study notes.
• Write in a journal almost every day. Sometimes recording just the day’s events, other times including details, and things I've learned here.
• Started several lists:
o Characteristics I want my future home to serve.
o What I look for in a girlfriend/wife.
o A list of what I think my gifts are. Romans: 12: 3, 6-8
o A list of life goals/bucket list. I have 54 so far, and writing it is a blast, I highly recommend it. Nothing quite gets you excited for life like writing it does.

I'm planning on remembering this when I go back home and back to school in the fall. I'm definitely going to use my computer less, and not have it on as much. I've really been enjoying reading and getting to know myself more.
