Calvary Baptist Church
755 8th St. NW
Washington, DC
The church is right by the Gallery Place/Chinatown metro station on the Red and Green lines. There is also a parking garage right next to the church, but the garage is NOT free. Street parking in the area is limited.

DIRECTIONS TO THE CHAPEL:

The church consists of two buildings; a big red building on the corner of H and 8th, and a white building next to that on 8th street. Next to that white building, also on 8th street, is the aforementioned parking garage. The quickest way to the chapel is to take the garage's elevator to floor G2. As you leave the elevator, the chapel will be on your left, but to enter the chapel, you'll have to walk down the hall, make a left at the fork, and then go into the left door.

Something I thought about today

6/13/2011

I was thinking today about where my time goes, and how that's changed over the years...

Grade school: 
Getting better at everything: 50%
Having fun: 50%

High School:
Getting better at everything: 50%
Figuring out what I enjoy: 20%
Figuring out what I'm good at: 15%
Having fun: 15%

College:
Getting better at everything: 10% (liberal arts school)
Figuring out what I enjoy: 10%
Figuring out what I'm good at: 30%
Getting better at what I enjoy: 20%
Getting better at what I'm good at: 20%
Having fun: 10%

Grad School:
Getting better at what I enjoy: 10%
Getting better at what I'm good at: 70%
Working on places I need improvement: 10%
Having fun: 10%

The real world:
Making money: 50%
Trying to make money out of what I enjoy and what I'm good at: 40%
Having fun: 10%

My soul-searching, self-finding, and self-improvement pretty much stopped after I got out of school. Right now I feel like I'm mostly coasting on everything I've learned up to this point, and spending most of my time just trying to get by. I feel like I haven't grown nearly as fast these past two years as I did any year before. I need to find a way to fit some self-growth in my life.
