Okay, we're moving right along here. Every day I remind myself during Shacharis of what I'm going for. I want to be able to look at myself in the mirror and say, "There's a straight shooting, honest man who doesn't lie to himself or others. There's a guy who has no skeletons in his closet."

I want to be great in learning and be able to tap into kedusha and one cannot do that if he is involved in tumah. Tumah and tahara do not get along at all. I live my life one day at a time and don't look into the future at the struggle, but I do look into the future at the man I want to be five years from now.

I want to be a lamdan, someone who makes minyanim three times a day, who is koveah ittim and who does chesed. I want to be an emesdig yid. That's only possible if you give up lust to Hashem.

Anyway, on to today's report.

Today was AMAZING. I rocked it up today, no joke. I did a really tough thing in learning today [edited due to ID issues].
So that was a big self esteem booster.

I proceeded to rock it up the rest of the day by destroying my final. I actually didn't quite destroy it, as I think I got one question wrong, but I surely have an A average in the course and that's what counts. And yeah, so the day was wonderful.

The yetzer hara saw that Hashem was on my side today, and didn't even bother to wake up today it seems. No attacks, challenges, or other.

Bring on the bourbon, Bardichev, and thanks for the continued support, IT!

Day 11: Great great day! No challenges. A++!

Ouch! Triggered!

I have to be much more makpid on surfing the internet. I can't just mindlessly and aimlessly go on the internet with no plan in mind. I just got triggered by clicking on an ad on [edit].com that led to a page where you could order deep discount magazines from amazon.

How stupid I was! Of course I wanted to see if there was pritzus there! Of course that's what was behind my motivation! Okay, so I saw a cover of something I shouldn't have and I x'ed it out, but that was such a stupid mistake to make.

Okay, deep breaths. Let go of the lust to G-d, and hopefully I'll regain control of the vehicle. Help Rabosai!

Okay, back in the driver's seat. Man, I'm such an addict I can't believe it. I mamash WANT it. What a fascinating phenomenon. I know something is so negative and bad for me and my future, yet my brain and eyes absolutely crave it. Difficult to understand sometimes, but I'll be okay with Hashem's help.

Today's report (Day 12): We started off pretty well, and had a good day, but we had a slip involving being on a website aimlessly and seeing an ad for a pritzus magazine. I should not have been on this website because I had no business being there. I did manage to stop it at that, but I looked at it for around four or five seconds (it wasn't nude, but it was bad) before regaining my senses. So I'm giving myself a B+ for today because I shouldn't have been in that situation. No reason I should have been. Better luck tomorrow, and don't let this landslide no matter what!

As long as your seat belt is fastened, you are in no danger. P.S. Please feel free to call me if you want to shmooze. It helps a LOT when you are feeling weak. I'll send you my phone number in a PM.

Thanks everyone for all the support. I appreciate it, silentbattle and sci and IT. So far, today is also going well. I mamash don't have time for the yetzer hara during finals week; I like that a lot. I find that I like being busy for a period of time, and that I can get "in the zone" for that period of time. Baruch Hashem, He has allowed me to get in the zone.

I did very well on my history final today, and my teacher from investment principles told me that I got an A in his course. I got one question wrong on his final, but I had a buffer of two questions, so I got the A. Great! I had an enormous buffer for the history final today. Basically I cheshbened out that I could get a 63 on the final and still get an A. So BH I think I probably got in the low 90's, so no worries about that.

Let's see. I still have to prepare for my literature final on Thursday and I have to prepare for my calculus final and probability theory final. Those last two will be tomorrow, back to back. It's going to be rough. I have a buffer of 22 points on the calc final, but only 9 points on the probability final. I hope I do well!

So far, this day, Day 12, is going well. No attacks so far, and no real challenges. But I'm not getting overconfident about it. I take things one day at a time, and I ask Hashem to help me get through this day every Shacharis. That's my recipe. Okay, everyone. I'll report again tomorrow night and let you know how my math finals went!

NOYA i dont get ??? I thought your in school ??? whats all his buffer bussiness about ??? Are you a shoeshiner?? You work in grand central or penn??
