I spent an hour writing my today’s journal: November 2, 2024. I had a lot to say and sadly didn’t finish. I will come back to it once I finish my Ralston Application Essay. Other than that I spent about 35 minutes reading . Also, talked to my friend Christopher Pinho for about four hours on the phone. It was one of the best conversations I have had in a long time. It was so good to connect with him again. He is one of the people I respect most in this life. He has done the hard work to develop a character truly worthy of respect.
I made great progress on my Ralston Application Essay today, working for approximately 170 minutes. I finished my outline and then broke down the outline into its six parts. After, I tried to tackle writing each part, one at a time. Breaking the project down like this really helped me begin. It no longer seemed so overwhelming. I have learned this many times, but still always forget to break a project down when I feel like avoiding it.
Today, I finally built my Digests page on my website. It is a simple solution, but I think an elegant one. Sometimes I find using “all the bells and whistles” in Notion can lead to a worse result. We’ll see how easy it is to maintain and whether or not I want to improve it in time.
I also worked a bit on Ralston Application Essay. I didn’t finish and I should have worked more on it, but something is better than nothing.
I woke up late after three days of waking up at 5 I wanted to sleep in. I indulged to much though and it made it difficult for me to fall asleep at a reasonable time. I did a lot of house work that had been neglected for a long time, namely laundry and dishes. While doing that I listened to and watched Joe Rogan Experience #2221 - JD Vance. It is really good. He seems intelligent, humble, and well-spoken.

Today was kind of hard emotionally. I was alone most of the day and my dreams the night before were really sad and all about Alyssa. I missed her a lot to day and felt a lot of remorse for how I acted and treated her. I had two good phone conversations. One with Trevor and the other with my Dad. My dad seems really to be changing and growing for the better. I hope the change is genuine and that he and my mother’s marriage can be restored. I hope you give him a new heart of flesh Lord.
