Sheesh! It's already Friday? Was I just talking about how quickly the week/month was passing? Probably, but it's the troof.
Anywho, I'm writing from a new location with obnoxious commercials trying to sell me drugs that could literally kill me (but I'll lose belly fat, yay!!). Yep, I'm home! Every time I come home, my appreciation for not having cable/satellite TV at college grows. As an experiment, I've been sitting on the couch for like 15 minutes trying to write this, and between the Today show and the commercials I already mentioned, my attention has rarely remained on my blog. It's wild how difficult it is to buffer yourself against the pull of TV/media/etc. Fortunately, the solution to this problem is fairly obvious (turn it off!!) but I think we often just automatically turn on the TV and think we can multi-task with whatever else we want to do (spoiler: basically all of us actually suck at multi-tasking).
Now that my preaching is over, let me express some gratitude for this opportunity to escape College Park and put a dent in my workload. Just today I've already worked on one of my final papers for ~1.5 hours, so once I escape the Old Navy ads I'm optimistic that the rest of the day will be similarly successful. The decision to come home for the weekend was not without risk -- I often end up putzing around and being quite unproductive -- but as I said, I'm optimistic this visit will be different. I'm feeling inspired, committed, and excited to chow down on my assignments, and with my boy Rudy to keep me company and make me smile, senioritis doesn't stand a chance!
Tune in tomorrow to see if I end up making the progress I'm hoping for :)
