Why, hello there, non-followers,
I owe you an apology. I have avoided blogging for nine days. I knew that I would forget about writing as soon as I got to school again. I knew that I'd put it off because "nobody is going to read it anyway," but then I knew I would pick it up again at an extremely inconvenient time. For instance, it is 8:41 PM and I have to leave for a meeting with my residence hall's committee in ten minutes. However, I am writing, so that's good. [I am also avoiding homework, but let's not speak of that.]
It's funny how one's motivation to do something will start out at 37 billion, and then drop to 0 over the course of two weeks. My own motivation has very similar qualities to that of an emergency flare: All of the sudden I have a sudden and insatiable need to do something [in this case, blogging], so my balled up undirected motivation shoots up into the sky screaming and blazing red. [It's kind of obnoxious actually.] But then fizzles out in a few short moments.
Perhaps it's the ADD that causes this, but I'm pretty sure that this happens to everyone. Whenever it's work to stick with something, we need more passion to stay motivated. When the passion doesn't match up, we end up fizzling. Kind of a bummer really. I guess when I find my true passion, fizzling won't be a problem and motivation will be an easily-accessible resource. But until them, be patient with my sparse blogging, I'm going to do my best.
Well, I have put off homework too long. It is time for me to bid you adieu. Here's to flare gun motivation, untreated, undiagnosed ADD, and patience with fizzling. Good night.

Late Night Ponderings
Bonjour non-followers,
It is 2:03 AM, I'm watching late night TeenNick shows that no one has ever heard of, and listening to my dad snore on the couch next to me. A typical Friday night at home. I had intended to get a lot of work done making ornaments for friends and family, but was sucked into the bowels of the couch and haven't been able to pull myself out yet.
I must be the queen of procrastination. Honestly, no one can put off work like I can. Thus why most of my posts have been made past midnight. But I suppose all of my work gets done eventually. All of the important work anyway. I'm being uninteresting and completely not clever. Not worth your time reading.
Goodnight, my dears, I will continue to watch pointless TV for a few hours and then inevitably fall asleep on the couch. Here's to early morning infomercials, beer-snoring, and a relaxing night at home.

New at Life
Greetings nonexistent readers!
Today marks the grand opening of my "New at Life" blog. I guess I never really thought of myself as a blogger, but here we are. It's kind of a sad thought, that I am sitting in the lobby of my dorm room at 2:30 in the morning before an 8:00 test and found it necessary to create a blog. Someday, I will be officially diagnosed with ADD and my misguided, unfocused world will make sense, but until then I will remain a college student with an unhealthy addiction to procrastination.
My blog is titled "New at Life" because I like to think that I have my whole life in front of me, that I know absolutely nothing about the way things are. [P.S. Miscellaneous movie moments will be inserted throughout the blog. They will always be italicized. I will be extremely impressed if you can recognize them, I tend to remember random fragments and voices from movies that people never seem to remember. This one happens to be from Babe.] Sorry, it's the undiagnosed ADD.
But about "New at Life." I am extremely excited to start college fresh as a new person. I have escaped many of my high school peers and am learning to be myself around everyone, rather than just my closest friends. So far, everybody seems to like me that way, and I like me that way, as silly as that sounds. So today, November 23, 2010, [my sister's 13th birthday] is the beginning of a new awareness. A new awareness of self, of life, and, hopefully, of the dangers of procrastination on your sleeping schedule and your test scores.
Off to bed with me, imaginary readers. Here's to months of posting on a blog that nobody will read, four hours of sleep before a journalism test, and a new start.
