WHAT DO YOU DO WITH YOUR TIME?
I have to imagine you in a big city at an urban campus and living off campus in an apt.
Based on that I think about you taking three classes a week, various times and doing homework and class projects as part of the class requirements. In addition, when I think about what you are doing, your busy week includes therapy, spending time taking care of Homer, going out with new friends, dealing with car selling/buying issues. I know you spend time working out at your all ladies gym, spending some time with your roommates and going to the coffee shop. I know you spend some time going to a number of movies each month, the occasional concert is part of your overall routine as I envision you. I think you spend time doing work at the IT dept. and are spending time dealing with work issues. I believe work issues are a large part of your daily routine now as you struggle to figure out how to make money in ways that are relevant to who you are and want to become. So I believe you spend time looking for work and opportunities, both paid and unpaid to be part of your life.
I believe you spend time either eating or shopping for food. Because of your devotion to healthy eating and the vegetarian-eating regimen this takes a bit more effort than others might face. That's why I'm including this in your list of things you do.
I know you spend a lot of time talking to your support group; parents and friends. That is critical to your balance in life, as it is for all of us. I know you spend some time meeting new friends either through class or other campus projects and activities. I suspect you are mostly settled in but still have a bit more to do, and I know you have done at least a bit of sightseeing in the greater Mass. Area.
Lastly, I know you participate actively in the neighborhood gang you belong to where you regularly mug homeless people, steal from the elderly and disabled, molest grade school kids, occasionally break car windows and slash tires and mostly create real problems for high school kids with special needs. Those are the things where I am most proud of you because it takes a special person to seek out those types of people in society who need attention and I like the creative way you address that social need.
