Sigh.

Lately, I've been rather lazy. It's partially because of my schedule that would make the toughest of HR reps shudder in fear, but at the same time, I'm at fault for neglecting to write.

Obviously, it's been awhile...over two weeks actually. It's really a shame because I love writing this thing, but it's just not on the top of my priority list. And with exactly 8 minutes to spare, I will debrief everyone on the past 15 days of my life.

Yes, it's another list. Get over it.

1)  In my literature class, we've started a study of Shakespeare. Don't get me wrong, the guy is a genius, but his work puts me to sleep. Seriously. It feels like the day after you pull a Mountain Dew propelled all-nighter: falling over while standing up, drooling, having those sudden bursts where you realize you're about to fall asleep so you convulse and make a loud snorting noise. Yeah, that's how I look in class.

2) Two days ago, I had the privilege of changing not one, not two, but THREE digits on our countdown to the Graduation Trip.

Best. Day. Ever. Well, until I mark it down zero, but until then...only 197 left!

3) My best friend turned 18, definitely worth noting.

I've written about her alot, so I'll just say...she rocks. Got it? Good. Cause she does.

4) Our ghetto school had it's first weapons search yesterday. Glad to see the folks downtown are finally catching on. It shouldn't have taken nearly this long.

5) It's Friday, the predecessor to the glorious time known as "weekend." Also worth noting.

Bragging Rights.

This will be a short one, I promise.

I just need to announce...

...I am officially on Google.

Thanks to the combined efforts of BlogExplosion and Pinggoat, "How's the Weather Up There?" has made a permanent impression on the Internet.

(Which just basically means it's been hit enough times to now show up in search engines.)

I realize this really isn't any sort of lavish and extravagant honor, and I'm certain that no one besides me will reach any degree of excitement about it.

But you know what? I'll take it.

Blog.

Keeping up with a blog is actually alot harder than I imagined.

Everyday I have to try and deliver a few paragraphs that are humorous, insightful, or some combination of the two. I'm not burnt out per se; I love writing, but it's just tough maintaining my own little corner of the World Wide Web.

Finding time to write, or better yet, finding time to think, has become a tremendous challenge. Time, as I've quickly learned, is an irreplacable resource of unmatched value, and what you do with that time defines who you are. Writing about my life is not on the top of my list as a defining characteristic.

So, in an attempt to simplify my life, I'm going to limit my posts to two a week. This number could be more or less if I so choose, and it'll depend on my schedule for each particular week. I know this is random, but don't hate. That's how it has to be.

If I manage to keep up with this pace, then I'll stick with it. Otherwise, I may have to make this a weekly blog...

...or yearly. Just exploring my possibilities.
