For the last months or so it has been a little bit of that kind of period when things just have run smoothly. A little bit too smoothly perhaps. The kind of easy way of Work-Eat-Sleep kind of routine. But it is not what I wanted. And even though I really do enjoy my work (I consider myself lucky to find one where I can spend time doing something I love) I still believe there is more to life than just work. Isn’t there? Well, from all bad things also comes some good. And with less time so comes the need to focus. I have had time to think through some things and to get going and actually have some measurable progress I tried to defined some first projects that I want to get started and back on track:

• Study an iPhone dev course now during the summer. The course started today and will continue for two more months. Hopefully will broaden my skills a bit and learn some new tricks to put up the sleeves for future works.
• Considering my body is still in same good shape and weight as when I was 15 I have had trouble to motivate myself to exercise on a more regular basis. Although, I feel like I should take better care of my body for the long-term and roller skating a few times each month is not enough. So from today me and some friends have started out on the “one hundred push ups” and “two hundred sit-ups” programs to begin with. I managed to 33 push ups and 20 sit-ups on the initial tests and the goal is as stated on the pages to be able to do 100 push-ups and 200 sit-ups within 6 weeks.
• My room-mate and friend has decided to move back to Sweden so in middle of July I will also move. Not back to Sweden, but to a new apartment. I already found a temporary one to ease the move in which I promised to stay until end of September. After that I want to find something of my own.
• I want to get started with music again, more specifically with the drums! Ever since I sold the drums I had in the parents house when I was a teenager I have regret that I did not play more and continued. And now I can actually afford some expensive ones of my own. I just need that apartment with enough space. So to begin with – read up on drums to find some suitable ones. Suggestions?

Well, there are actually some more goals I have set up but I think I keep those for my personal record than to put here for everyone to read. Nevertheless there are goals and dreams that just need to wait. Rome was not built in a day and it sure helps a lot to focus on a few things rather than scatter the energy on too many things.

And other than that my summer is more or less planned before it even started, and I kind of wonder how that did happen. But I don’t feel so sorry about that considering the upcoming events that will take place. Now closest, in a few days two friends will be visiting, I will have my 26th birthday, and a Rage Against The Machine concert I been longing for is going to take place.

I have many reasons to be really, really happy. :)
