I also think I need to start being more disciplined and accountable for my actions. I want that to set the foundation for the new year. I sometimes think about not wanting to be in the same place as last year and so far I am not doing a very good job. This semester has been the perfect example of that. Things from the my past have consistently resonated throughout the year and I think it is time that I let those things go and actually start from scratch. The upcoming year I want to be more focused on quality over quantity. I think that there are time where I sacrifice the quality of work that I put out because I want to get as much done as possible.

Last week I decided to do the yoga workout. I am currently at a military school and we conduct physical training every morning. Somedays we do not have enough time to stretch good enough because we have so much going on. I found this very useful this week because I was able to stretch at my desk.
