Piff's Journal

This has been a rather productive week for myself I must say.  I just finished painting my room yesterday and will finish installing my new ceiling fans, light remote, and light switches in the next day or two.  Doing housework and yardwork has most certainly been stress relieving and fun.  It has prompted me to possibly start gardening in the front and backyard.  The only problem with that is really money.  I should be saving and getting a job and my parents have pretty much spent a little bit over the limit for my room.

As for my goals here on daily strength, I have knocked my body weight from a fluctuating 150-155 lbs to 148 lbs.  GO ME!  I seem to be on the right track so far and it is possible for me to reach my goal before my deadline.  Then again, the last few pounds are more than likely going to be the hardest ones to lose and will take more time.  So, I guess we will see.  :=)

Last night I saw Iron Man with my girlfriend.  That movie was much better than I though it would be.  When I saw the trailer back in November I thought that movie was going to be really stupid like Fantastic Four or Ghost Rider.  It overall was just a really entertaining film without the ridiculously fake cgi.  But enough with my nerdy comic book-movie ramblings.

STILL I am having problems deciding a major.  I called my brother yesterday to ask for advice for how I should go about selcting a college major.  He of course gave me good advice as he always does and I have been putting together a list of potential majors, careers, and skills.  This will probably take a little bit longer to finish than I had anticipated.  I started last night thinking this would be a quick project to complete, but I am still working on it.  So far I seem to be matching up with environmental design, botany, english/writing, and geology.  Even though these majors are very interesting to me I still have one more problem.  Classese in these subjects almost always require a moderate to high level of group work.  I have never really worked well in groups.  This is mainly because of my anxiety/shyness around people that I do not know.  Well, my brother will be coming home next week and we will have plenty of time to try to figure something out for me.
