I promise I haven't forgotten about you blog. I will write again, but tonight's not the night. I have two things on my mind. . .taking a shit and falling asleep. Sometime this week though, perhaps.
G'night.

Getting My Feet Wet
Carsten has inspired me to start a blog of my own. I'm not completely sold on the idea for three reasons. First of all, I'm not big on writing and this will most likely turn into a place where I come to bitch about my problems that are most likely my own fault (just like half the people who blog, so I'd fit in at least). Secondly, this may or may not just create another distraction for me while my time should be spent doing much more productive things - more on that later. Lastly, this is eerily reminiscent of the time I use to spend on Xanga. Those days eventually turned into me blabbing about insignificant things, like the weather, how I spent my Friday night, and other things no one really cares about. I'm going to give this blog a shot while desperately trying not to turn it into a clone of my late Xanga.
It just hit me today that I only have three weeks left in Council Bluffs before I go back to Iowa. Where the hell did the summer go? It seemed like last week I was still up at school cramming for finals, getting no sleep and planning my summer events with Carsten. Now it's almost over and I've done absolutely nothing...again. I was really looking forward to spending the summer with all my friends in Council Bluffs, but in truth so far it's been somewhat of a let down. Compared to last summer, we hardly ever hang out. It seems like everyone is always busy doing something (playing Cock of Duty), they have to work early in the morning or they're just not up for hanging out. Last summer everyone was always together almost everyday, and it was a blast. I guess that's just part of growing up though.
School has been on my mind lately - a lot. As anxious as I am to go back, I'm nowhere close to being ready. It seems that my study habits are playing a part in my everyday life as well. I haven't filled out the request for financial aid yet. It's a task that's weighing heavily on my shoulders. I know I need to do it now (believe me, my mom reminds me everyday), but for some reason I haven't taken the time to sit down and do it yet. I suppose that will be what I do tomorrow before work. Besides the financial aid papers, I have other things to do also. Packing, buying stuff I'll need, getting all the details for the move ironed out, etc. It doesn't sound like much, but when you procrastinate like I do it's a heavy load.
I'm fifty-fifty on whether I want to pick up one more class or not. I'm already signed up for 15 semester hours, but it's only four classes. I'm trying to get caught up to where I should be so I can graduate on time (2010). It might be a lot for me to handle if I take 18 hours in one semester, especially since I'm thinking about getting a job as well, but I'm really thinking about doing it. Comments concerning this matter would be much appreciated, although I'm sure no one will read this.
I've been writing now for over a half hour. Pretty good for someone who doesn't like to write, eh? That's my cue that it's time for bed.
Until next time...
