spend less time on the internet

Who’d have thought this would happen! I’ve been spending a fair amount of time online, but I’ve been using it productively (researching law schools, planning my life) and then making myself get out there and get things done! I’m excited about it all. I’ve got lots of lists. And excitement.

So.

:) Yay.

I’ve been doing a good job on this one but not by choice! I moved into a new apartment and we don’t have a router yet… so I am borrowing my neighbors’, which I only get in the living room, which is a little tiny.

Soooo yes.

Yay for doing things with my life that aren’t technological.

Well, I deleted my facebook, so that’s one distraction gone… but I also started dating a boy who lives far away, and iChat makes talking to him way too much way too easy.

I was thinking about giving up the internet in its entirety (is that the right spelling..?) after finals. No reason for me to check my e-mails, really, since no professors will really have anything to tell me. Plus it’d give me more time to enjoy my freedom that comes with the summer (minus the Maymester I’m taking at home…).

:)

I’ve started working towards this goal but not always staying “signed on” to my instant messenger client. It’s amazing how fast I realize that I’m just wasting time on the internet when I take away the potential to talk to people… because really, a lot of the time I sign on and wait for people to talk to me, and nothing actually happens, and time gets wasted.

I think if I could master this goal around finals… that would probably help me out a ton. :)

all I did today was sit on the internet. I slept in, watched a lot of TV, and just.. did nothing. I don’t do this very often, but when I do, it always gets me a little bit scared. I get flashbacks to being in middle school and depressed and doing that all the time. And that is not what I want to happen at all. I wish I could find a nonscary balance, between lazy and overworked.

In other news, I am not going to meet my awesome new group of friends and boys online. So I should get off my facebook and into the real world. It’s just hard.
