Old Habits Die Hard
So, I come to write my first update in ages, and I'm immediately prompted to restore an old, un-posted piece, which is the following:
"It's four o'clock in the morning. Obviously the answer to this issue is to open a bottle of wine.
I've picked up the awful habit of staying up until 5 or 6 in the morning, and sleeping until noon or 1 in the afternoon. Three problems with this: 1) Growed up people with lives don't do this, indicating I'm either not growed up, or don't have a life ;), 2) I am doing nothing.productive. with this time; I sit and play sims, bake holiday treats, or eat the treats I baked. I think I've packed on 5 pounds from macaroons alone. Mmmm... 3) I'm sleeping LESS on break than I did when I was in class (for the most part)! Isn't a deliciously long break supposed to be full of sleep and doing nothing? I feel like I spend my whole life in front of this blasted computer. I wish I had the courage to just detach myself from it."
Apparently 6 months has done nothing to minimize my bad habits--I'm still staying up ridiculously late, doing nothing productive whilst shoveling anything and everything into my mouth, and sleeping an insufficient number of hours a night. The end of my first year of grad school has galvanized my courage and I've "detached" myself from Netflix and Facebook (meaning I made Crystal change the password and promise not to tell me unless I've completed an adequate amount of studying). Thus, here I am, attempting to quench my overwhelming need to CONNECT with other people via technology.
