right now, my curriculum feels a lot like the one I had in elementary school. we went from morning chapel, to core subjects, to recess, to pre lunch subjects, to lunch, to end of day subjects and P.E.
this is my current schedule:
morning prayer, writing, training, trading, working, studying (trading), walking, evening Bible study.
a little bit of everything.
I have a recess (evening walks).
I have lunchtime.
I move from room to room, depending on the task.
my 9–5? I like to think of it as the general education portion of my life.
everything else I choose to do (the extracurriculars, if you will) are what shape who I’m becoming.
they’re what’ll get me into that ivy league.
not a school, but a symbol for my new life. lately i’ve been getting visions of it. little glimpses or feelings like something miraculous is in the works. it’s just me… building brick by brick.. . day in, day out.
I’m calling it summer school.
and July was really good.
I crushed the goals I set for myself and ended the month with the sweetest vacation with my boyfriend’s family.
all it took was a daily schedule I actually stuck to. It did get boring at times, but at this point in my life I am so averse to backtracking or falling back into bad habits that I’d rather feel bored and carry on than quit and start over.
in August, I’m adding in:
studying for my Pilates certification
posting again on YouTube and my wellness IG
and a little side quest in beauty — getting my hair professionally done for the rest of the year.
every time I go to the salon, I learn something new about taking care of my hair.
I want to be a leave-out sew-in girly sooo bad,
but I don’t have the patience for the maintenance.
plus, Florida humidity?
puffs me up every time.
I just learned it’s because my hair isn’t “heat trained”
(which makes sense, I wear it natural 90% of the year). So for now I’ve settled on lace closures. My hair is protected, and if the lace lifts, I can glue it down (i know that much, at least).
june and july were focused on financials and prayer.
lots of solo time. lots of quiet.
I took a break from socials so I could pay attention to the other places God was trying to meet me.
and as a result I feel refreshed and ready to take on the rest of 2025.
I’ll be 27 in a couple months (the horror), and I usually get into a “sprint towards the finish line” mindset around this time of year. I love entering a new year of life prepared and with direction.
