Well, I have just discovered blogs. What a great idea! I love it. This is a great way to keep in touch with people without "maintenance" calls. Also, a great way to relieve stress. Since the beginning of undergrad I have attempted to keep some kind of journal as a tool for reflection. It is nice to look back and see how far you have come, what God has brought you through, and where you never want to be again. I mostly use them as a memory tool though. My close friends are laughing as they read this because they know the truth of this statement. I have possibly one of the worst memories of anyone I've ever known. It is random though. I will remember the strangest and smallest things forever but forget who was with me for certain important events. Obviously, this can be insulting, sorry to all who have experienced it. ;o) I am extremely bad with idle conversation. I have been known to have the same conversation with someone twice in a ten-minute span. Crazy right? I know! Ah, but I will chalk it up to the infamous "to know me is to love me" phrase and pretend its the only option. Seriously though, without our idiosyncrasies what makes us "us." They are what we really remember and miss about people. I have never said, "Oh, I really miss the way he/she looked or hung out." It is always the specific and strange things, " I really miss the way he snorted when he laughed or always tried to open doors the wrong way." Anyway, I guess I should stop procrastinating and start doing my homework. It is so strange to be back in school. One thing I learned from a year off was that school is not the most important thing. Where does that leave me? Unfortunately, right here, a big slacker. LOL I keep telling myself that I have to spend time on "life" and not stress about school. Funny how we rationalize our behavior.
Next time...
