As if I need another distraction...

I guess I do, I'm here aren't I? I've never blogged before, and somehow I feel like anything I have to see isn't of much importance, and most likely won't be read. I'm interested in just how many "bloggers" there are on the internet, and how many of them feel the same way. Writing is my passion, and because of school being over, I now have little reason to sit at a computer and write...so I will do it here. I will write. Write about what? No idea. Well none quite yet.

Are these things supposed to make sense? Am I supposed to continue on the same train of thought or am I allowed a tangent every now and again? Blogging...what an interesting concept.

It's 6:58pm. I have an exam tomorrow morning at 9am. Marketing geography. GGR252. Who knows what possessed me to take a marketing class. I'm a Shakespeare, Napoleon, Virginia Woolf, Franz Ferdinand type of girl, and somehow, my brain decided marketing would serve as the best way to get the social science course credit I need. Thanks brain, thanks a lot.

I could stay here and continue writing away, as well as continue asking myself just why I'm doing so, but I really should get back to my census tracts and Huff models.

My last post sounds oddly like this one. Amazing how I only end up on this blogsite when I'm procrastinating...amazing.

Focus.

Isn't it strange that when you know you have tons to do, your mind wanders and chooses to think about anything and everything except what it is you have to do? Being a first year university student isn't exactly easy. The transition from high school to uni is a terrifying thing--but probably the most exciting transition that's ever happened to me. The whole experience is a juggling act.
Prepare to be amazed!
Haha, as if.
On one hand we juggle our social life, on the other our academic career. On our left foot we juggle our part time jobs and on our right our family. Bouncing back and forth is exhausting, and as we find ourselves leaning towards the left or right we end up here, on blogger.com, venting about all the things we should be doing, but choose not to.
Right now I should be reading about Mussolini and his italian fascist party--digging through my books trying to find out exactly what it is he did that made his fascist party so successful.
I should also be reading books about Iraq to prove that the protoliterate period (jemdet-nasr) was the first true civilization.

Oh the places my mind goes...

This is a lame first post, I know. But Mussolini is now on his knees begging me to read about his tactics and "fame". Yeah, yeah Mussolini I hear you; I'm coming. No need to yell.
