Pushing it to the limits
Dear Diary,

Lately I have really been pushing myself physically and mentally. Physically with this kickboxing class. It is a very active class that has me near giving up almost daily. Mentally, the English I'm currently in is very fast paced. Never again will I take an English class during summer semester. Just yesterday, I did one essay summary, an essay analysis, and answered five questions from the textbook. Stayed up till 4 in the morning. Total of 9 pages put out in one day.

All this pushing to the extremes has got me to realize something though. I am alot more capable than I previously thought. It's not quite over yet, but I feel I can make it and I will come out a better person because of it. Now all that worries me is the fall semester. Some pretty have courses I have to knock out. A math class, another English class, a psych class, and a humanities class. After that, it'll be alot smoother when I can focus on going for upper division classes.

As for other things in life, they're about the same. Family still don't like me. Still looking for work. Still not doing enough about my spirituality. So there is room for improvement. Not too far from self-actualizing though. *Maslow stuff* Came a long way from where I started. Still a ways away from where I want to be, but now I feel I'm on the right path and on my way to actually achieving stuff. That is all. ~END~

ah yes, I remember maslow. in my intro to psych class we covered that, but with it being a Bible college the instructor downplayed that heirarchy of needs. he considered it faulty humanism. i thought it described man very well. instead of finding "self-actualization" by having all our physical and emotional needs met and accomplishing rewarding goals, as a christian i believe one can never reach self-actualization without first experiencing salvation, and then living up to the potential God has for you in His service. I'm finding it to be true in my life!
