Let me clear my mind

Today I extended a tradition of mine I’ve had pretty much since I have been a freshman in high school. It is kind of an unconscious tradition, but it has really helped me be successful in school and avoid the stress of it at the same time. This time I did it about a month and a half earlier than usual, maybe because this is the last time. I made the list. The list is everything that I need to do for the rest of the semester. I broke it down by category, school, job search, and personal. I try to get as detailed as possible. One trait that I seemed to get from my dad is the joy in cleaning. We show it in our own ways. My dad likes to meticulously clean everything around him all the time, I believe his nickname used to be the white tornado. I, underneath a mess of clothes, papers, and junk will clean my list. Even this journal is on the list. I have 38 items on the list and one by one I will clean the plate. By the end of the semester I will have finished all of my schoolwork, done all of the things I can do to secure a job with Lockheed Martin and with NFL teams, and I will have done a bunch of personal things.
