Getting Off My Butt

I have a problem.  Its name is mixed up priorities.  Really mixed up.  So, I sat down and wrote down all the things I do every day.  The list looked like this:

School
Piano
Voice
Facebook
Exercise
Farm stuff

Ok, these are the things I do every day(with the exception of exercise, but I have to include it).  Now, in reality, my current priority list looks like this when prioritized(I am being brutally honest):

Facebook
Voice
Piano
Farm stuff
Excercise
School


In reality, it should look more like this:

School
Voice/Piano
Farm stuff
Excercise
Facebook

It's almost flipped. I am determined to change this.  I'm finally starting to feel myself(sans the breathing issues) and I'm going to have to kick myself in the butt to get this stuff done.  I want to be able to do my activities in my Junior and Senior year.  I don't want to be sorry that I wasted the first two years of high school and then be unable to do things I want.  I want to have all my required high school courses done in two years.  I want to be able to do early college classes.  I want to be able to CLEP out of things so that I can focus on my work.  I want to have a life.

I have a game plan for tomorrow.  I am applying Moose Man's law of three times on facebook(though I'm not sure he actually adheres to it completely).  I am not going to get on until lunchtime.  Yep, I said it.  Now I have to do it.  I'm going to start the day off with school.  Two hours of school.  Straight.  Two hours.  Two.  No interruptions.  Then, I'm going to practice voice for an hour.  Yep.  Then, I'm going to practice piano for an hour.  Only then will I get on FaceBook and do whatever else my heart desires for an hour.  After that, I'll basically repeat my morning sans the voice practicing, although I may do a bit more of that as well.

That is my game plan.  My only problem is that we are going to the gym tomorrow.  I'll have to work around it.  That will take about an hour and a half out of my day, but I think I can do it.  I am determined, absolutely determined to get Algebra 2, Italian, geography, and writing out of the way.  I will not sit on my butt and do nothing.  I am going to change things.

Now that I'm all psyched, I feel better.  Tomorrow is going to be a good day.  I know it.
