All-nighters sure make a mess of the next day.

If for no other reason than the foggy mental state it incurs. I do remember going to classes earlier today, and driving home, and dinner and stuff... but it actually all feels like a dream more than reality. Ha. I guess tomorrow will be something a bit more real, anyway. I'll get a whopping 3+ hours of sleep to prove it... boom!

Certainty that I have chosen the right career.

Heck, I even enjoy doing the generally boring bits too. There is such a wide variety of things to do that I am almost never bored with it either. Variety is one of its finer qualities, I would even say. And there is always so much thinking to be done, too. The options are endless and cool!

Getting back into the swing of things.

School is a wonderful, challenging, fun place in ways that are basically not found in other areas of life. I am now coming down to the last five or so months of my current plans for college and I do believe I will miss the experience quite a bit once I am done. Sure, work in my chosen career will be a whole new set of wonderful, fun challenges but work is work, and school is something else. I am a blessed fellow, I must admit!

Motivated by awkwardness.

I attended the family ward, as a member of it, for the first time in quite a while... basically since 1998 or 1997. Not that the length of the time away from the ward has somehow made the experience strange to me, more that I have returned to it without feeling like there is a place for me there. The people were all quite nice to me, very welcoming in fact, but I think I need to have some sort of attitude adjustment in order for me to feel at home there. I am not sure how that will come about.

Anyway, in an unexpected way, it makes me want to actually go on dates and try harder to find a wife. I am sure this is a good side effect of my discomfort there. It isn't what I thought even could happen as it feels somewhat unrelated... but I really do want to go on dates with more invested energy than I can recall feeling motivated to do so in quite some time. Weird! It could also be that a certain single someone(who I am still attracted to, also somewhat unexpectedly) is now back in town and, even though I don't have the feelings for her that I once had, she is still very attractive to me. I suppose I need to at least make a good effort to get shot down. A little crash and burn is often good for the system. Ha.

Work change considerations.

I have to say, the possibility of changing my work situation by becoming a supervisor has been a very challenging decision to make. It seems like a no-brainer at a quick glance but there are really a good deal of future implications I am taking into consideration on this. What does it do for my future career in film/video production? That is my primary goal so all of the seemingly obvious benefits that would come right now might have undesirable effects further down the line. It's a tough one for sure!

Sleeping in the car.

It might be surprising how restful the sleep can be sometimes... though, last night was not exactly one of those times. I think I mostly dreamt about my job(which is pretty rare for me otherwise) and I can't say that was the kind of thing I wanted to be doing in my dreams last night. Meh. Either way I am really looking forward to my bed tonight. It is a wondrous place!

Another day 1.

I've seen a bunch of new years in my time.... 36 to be exact(I doubt I really remember much of the first few or so.) I was a bit against new years resolutions for a number of years, mostly because I felt it was silly to use the beginning of a new year as an excuse to make changes in your life(as if I was making life changes on some sort of regular basis in the first place.) Anyway, I'm down with it now. Maybe just realize how lazy I can be sometimes and any help to make life changes is good in my book.

So I hope my next day 2 goes well... even better than the last ones and I'd be happy. I know work will be earlier but I doubt that will make much of a difference. Ha.
