Dream: Success, Plus my Finals Dead Week Plan

Today was a wonderful day. There is not much tangible reasoning for my good day today, but there is some rational reasoning behind my happiness. I believe that everything will now finally work out and that brings me so much satisfaction. It's great to know that maybe, just maybe life will work out and you can do all the things you dream of.

Anyways I dream today of success and what that means for me. I have been so worried about my grades and my majors and all sorts of stuff related to my reputation and perception. However I hope that my measurement of success will be based not on superficial markers of achievement, but based on my ability to accomplish the dreams I seek. I will measure my success based on how well I can keep my dreams of helping others and improving the world alive and real. I don't need proof necessarily, but I need to put forth the passion and effort that I know lies within me. Success is merely self-satisfaction.

Anyways there's a lot on my mind this upcoming week besides merely preparing for finals.

Things on my mind:
San Francisco Trip
Study Abroad and Academic Planning
Summer Plans and Job Search
Stress Relief
Academics
Reading ¨Collapsed¨

But here's my plan to tackle the dead week.

Step 1: Clarity
- clean my room
- clean my desk
- meditate
- sleep
- isolate

Step 2: Stimulate
- read newspaper
- exercise
- eat well
- read my current book ¨Collapsed¨
- start slow

Step 3: Motivate
- spend some time planning for vacation
- spend some time taking photos
- stretch
- write out my stresses
- talk to people, but only for short periods of time like meals
- watch short documentaries, play games for limited times
- think forward

Step 4: Work
- prioritize
- balance out study time
- go to the library
- drink water, go to the bathroom, eat
- give breaks
- balance

Step 5: Perspective
- unwind with relaxing activities
- manage time to prevent stress and regret
- realize that everything will work out
- breathe

I hope these steps will help me conquer this crazy week, but I know that I can do it. I just really need to go to sleep. It's almost 4 am!
