Getting Into Habits

I was told that I need to get into the habit…

Funny, even though I know with the looming job of graduate school is upon me and all of the prep that comes with it, I have been trying desperately to get out of habits. Packing has been awful. I have fell to materialism. I have so much stuff it’s just not even funny. Why do I need three sombreros? Why to I need ten nick-nacks from the same trip…will I remember it any differently? It’s just amazing how my habit of collecting clutter has grown.

I blame by habit of shopping. I love to buy. It doesn’t matter what. As long as it’s new, in my taste, and sparkles…I will have it in a shopping bag toting it home. I have been “trying” – with some success – to not buy. Shopping has become looking. How’s it going? It sucks – don’t ask me again.

Now, getting into habits…that has been on my mind ever since I first sent my application for grad school. I already knew that. In a matter of a week-and-a-half my habits are going to change drastically. I believe it will be automatic.

Getting into habits…only time will tell.

  1. My breakfast habit is a half of grapefruit and a dry piece of toast. Every morning. Now I read that grapefruit is bad for people of my age. This age thing sucks
