Usually I feel guilty for not blogging. On the contrary, I actually feel guilty for blogging right now.
With the piles of work I have on my desk towering over me, time spent typing these words is time spent not researching for a paper, revising other papers, preparing a power point, working on a take home final, or studying German. Mrs. Gallivan is upset with my lack of blogging though, and I must disappoint her no longer!
So it seems like I’m in another stage—as all who attend Wabash can understand—where all I want to do is complain. It’s not that I don’t have good things I could talk about, it’s just that the stressful, hectic, and negative outweigh the happy and care-free right now and we all need to whine every once in a while.
Maybe if I focus on the positive though, I’ll get in a better mood and be more efficient at doing work.
-Not a pledge any more. (Pretty awesome.)
-Winter break coming up. (Definitely encouraging.)
-I’m a white male in America. (Unfair opportunity.)
-Had a good time with friends last night.
-(Sub-point: good friends.)
-Lots of cute kitten videos on YouTube. (Adorableness on-demand.)
-I’ve made it 19 years without dying or being killed yet. (Let’s keep this streak going.)
Maybe I don’t have as much to complain about as I thought I did.
Me and my pledge brothers, getting pumped to study. ADRENALINE!!
Now that I’m in a little bit of a better mood, it’s time to do some work!! GET PUMPED! GET PUMPED!!
