Ashley Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 (edited) Life can blow but its always nice to have something to look forward to! Can help you get through the monotony of the daily grind. So, what are you looking forward to? Let's spread the joy! Personally: July 15/16th off to London to see people/general fun time which will be a nice break from work. July 19th is alllll about Toy Story 3 of course [hopefully something in between but yet to be seen] September 27th - Start postgraduate course (and more to London a few days/week before obviously) So please, give me something to sing about!

Razz Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Tomorrow - Seeing an old friend. We parted on bad terms, and I've felt bad about it ever since. Should be good as I've missed her a great deal. Saturday - Get to spend the day with other half. The 16th - Meeting friends in Londres, and seeing Inception hopefully! The 18th - Tori Amos playing solo in concert. 'Nuff said. October - New uni, hopefully! Near Future - Finishing medication and being a normal, non-nervous wreck again. Wooo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daft Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 I try to avoid looking forward to things too much. I prefer appreciating the now. When I was in a bad place I always used to just look forward to things and it's just incredibly depressing - you begin to thrive on expectation. However, when I'm not trying to be Zen, I become excited about parkour on Wednesday and my iPhone 4 coming some time this week (hopefully).

Dannyboy-the-Dane Posted June 28, 2010 Share Posted June 28, 2010 Saturday I have my graduation party for my friends and family. Then there are a few get-togethers with friends the following week, one of them being my late birthday party. Then I have a number of undated gaming and video nights with friends that I need to figure out dates for, and at some point this summer I'm also going on vacation for a week with my family to the Danish island Bornholm, on which we have some friends. At some point there's also a small vacation with my nearest friends planned, possibly a small cruise to England and back with half the day being spent in England and sleeping on the ferry both out and back. After the summer I start my job as a substitute teacher, and I'm also planning on getting my driver's license at some point. Oh, and learning to cook.

Ashley Posted June 28, 2010 Author Share Posted June 28, 2010 I try to avoid looking forward to things too much. I prefer appreciating the now. When I was in a bad place I always used to just look forward to things and it's just incredibly depressing - you begin to thrive on expectation. My now consists of McDonalds and feeling like Frasier circa Cheers. I look forward to (hopefully) feeling more like Frasier circa Frasier. I understand what you're saying and agree to an extent but when the here and now is so meh and dour it helps to have something to strive for.

Nolan Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 July 4th, celebrating not being English (to put it rudely). July 6th, turn 21, and get drunk legally, also will be house-sitting, ergo parties.

jayseven Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 I've always believed that you have to have a short-, mid- and long-term thing to look forward to in order to feel less depressed about how little your present matters. Short-term for me is hanging out with Brighton friends, seeing a lot of people I've not seen for nearly a year. Mid-term I have my juggling festival, the n-e meet and... That's it. Long-term I now have the whole getting back to sheffield thing. That's my new adventure! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 (edited) Potential payday and the weekend. And yeah, I once survived by looking forward to all the little things. I did it obsessively for a while though when I was a little younger but nowadays attempt to maintain general happiness and enthusiasm simply looking forward to the excitement and uncertainty of every day. I also just looked at my bed as I got out of it and smiled, telling it I would be back. Can't believe I used to dislike sleep. Sleep equals the greatest.

ReZourceman Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Wait.....Jay, are you in Brighton? What do you mean, back to Sheffield? Which Argos do you work in. Which reminds me I need to book NE Hotel. And pay for car tax. Tomorrow - Last day at work. July - NE Meat October - Florida Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jayseven Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 Scoop; sleep is win. I can't get enough of it. ReZ; leaving for brighton in less than 24 hours, getting a transfer down to a store there. Since I've made the plans to move down south I've realised that I want to live in sheffield at least for a bit more, as I've made a home here -- but I didn't sort out a way of staying here now so... I need to do that. If any of that makes sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Posted June 29, 2010 Share Posted June 29, 2010 At the moment, not too much. Gonna book a holiday for next year, this year; if that makes any sense. Can't decide between Chicago or Canada or even both but I want to combine seeing the sights with as much Hockey possible and any other US sport I can find.
