m.i.a.

have midterms and dissertation stuffs coming up within the next month, so i'm planning on being a hermit until the holidays. the only non-academic and non-work things i'm allowing myself for the next month are:

- my perspectives class, which is semi-academic, but it's been so great that the readings, homework, and lectures feel like a break to me. dude, if any of you get a chance, i highly, highly, highly recommend taking a perspectives course...i could go off, but i won't right now. maybe later.

- the occasional open-gym volleyball. haven't been able to go in the past few weeks, so all i've been doing is sitting on my butt studying, working, eating...definitely been feeling gross lately. but i've even said no to playing in susan's church tournament this weekend. :( that's when you know i'm really trying to focus...

- a few outings with friends that i've already committed to...other than that, the appointment book's closed! just kidding...like i'm all that popular...

- next week's u2 concert!! right smack in the middle of my school craziness, but who cares? it's u2!!

- the occasional blog...it's like, i kinda wanna blog, at least just to procrastinate, but since i'm not doing anything but studying, there's really nothing to update...

and of course, small group and church. i've also placed myself on a tv fast...only one hour per week for gilmore girls. i'm trying to be productive and focused, but i can't miss my gilmore girls! and i can't avoid the occasional zoning out and procrastination that comes along with my adult a.d.d. and i will lose sleep to talk to you guys, so hopefully i won't be too mia.
