Greetings everyone!
It's been awhile since you've seen one of these from me, and honestly, there's probably at least 1000 more productive things I could be doing than this, but alas, writing is my therapy.
I'm not even sure why I'm writing this right now, I just feel like there's so much going on right now I could use a good outlet to vent with and let you all in on my life. So, as you can see by the title of this blog, I officially gave up Facebook. I'm making the deadline Thanksgiving, I figure that's long enough to keep me from being distracted while I have so much work to do, but it's also an attainable goal. I can't say it's been easy. It pretty much consumes my life, but after I did the mathematics, I figured out that I spend over 2 full days a year on Facebook. I'm not getting those two days back, so what am I doing with my life?! Over the summer, the director of my internship kept telling us, "You spend 1/3 of your life sleeping, another 1/3 working: It's up to you what you do with the other 1/3." What fantastic advice! I'll tell you this much, I won't be wasting it on social networking sites!
So, as I alluded to earlier, life has been a little crazy. On top of being a senior and trying to figure out what the heck I'm doing with my life post-Graduation, I'm alsso taking 16 credits- 12 of which are upper-level Poli Sci classes, and the other 4 of which are Bio (a.k.a. The Bane of Kaity's Existence). I'm also leading my campus chapter of International Justice Mission with my friend Laura. I think both of us would say it's something we might wish we hadn't done, as it's comsuming a good chunk of our lives and is just plain a lot more work than we had planned on. I'm also working at a local Tennis Club as a front desk monitor. It's pretty much the most boring job on the planet, but it's a good opportunity to do homework which I can't altogether complain about. I'm also very preoccupied with preparing for the LSAT and GRE. I got my results back on my first LSAT and wasn't exactly thrilled with my results, so I'm taking it yet again in December. I'm also involved in Counseling right now which is just the cherry on top of my crazy schedule. Trying to decipher why I do half the crap I do and reconcile a lot of my past is exhausting in and of itself!
Anyway, sorry I sound like such a whiner. I don't even know why I chose to write all of that for the world to see, but I guess it's just another clever tactic I can distract myself with since I no longer have Facebook to utilize as a procrastinating technique. Haha.
Hope you're all doing splendidly, and do what I've started doing, and take a few minutes each day to say "I'm not gonna sweat the small stuff. I CAN'T handle everything. God can." And another tip: Don't forget to revel in His creation for a few minutes each day, I promise, it's more than worth it.
Love and peace,
Kaity
