A small defeat, but for the greater good!

As I wrote in the beginning of this adventure I made a promise of experiencing new things every weekend. But during my first 3 months I've come to realize that there are to many factors that needs to work out before I can be able to do it. The availability of different people will not always be at hand, enough possibilities for each weekend might not be possible. But my biggest argument is my own availability. Recently I had the chance to go to Johannesburg for a weekend with a friend. But then I had to choose between work and pleasure, and my main goal down here is to be there 100% for my work. I was able to do something new that weekend, but sometimes work just have to come before my "crazy" goals. And to be honest I feel much better doing a good job, that is my purpose, then running around doing other things for my own pleasure.
Another factor is also important to think about. After it becomes dark it is dangerous to be outside, and even though I've been outside late, it isn't always a possibility. Like last weekend. I wanted to go out on saturday, but didn't have anyone to go with. So I had to stay inside. In a "desperate" attempt to have something to do I tried to put some norwegian mentality (at least a mentality that I know of) into the building. I where able to by some snacks just around the corner and gathered some guys to play some cards. My first intention was to learn them something new, but they quickly showed more interest in the one game they already knew; casino. We tried to play it, but they had to many distractions and didn't show the interest that was needed so I gave up. But no hard feelings. I was able to go to bed a bit earlier, and it was good. It is just one of the many adaptions that needs to be done.
I'm all well and no hard feelings neither towards them or missing out on one of my part-time goals. Hope my readers are okay with it as well!
However I will continue to do new things as much as possible, so who knows how many new things I will end up doing? Maybe in total it will actually be the same amount!
I feel happy about my conclusion and hoping you guys can too!
Take care of your possibilities untill next time!
