The here-and-now

This is Kenai illegally on my bed.  I found him this way when I came back from washing my face this morning. 

My test this morning was cake (or so I thought).  I could be proved wrong when I get it back.  I'm currently sitting in my last "real" GIS lecture.  We don't have a final - just the final paper.  I'm not paying much attention due to this fact.  My paper for this class is the same as for my thesis.  I hope to have this finished by tomorrow night AT THE LATEST.  At which point I will celebrate.  Ow oww!  So, wish me luck.

Wednesday I present it at a symposium - and get a chance to win $100.  Then I'm headed home until Sunday afternoon.  I haven't decided yet if I will opt out of all phone/text/facebook activity for this break - next week when I head off for a break before my final (on May 5th) I definitely am though.  Super looking forward to getting away from it all and going on a little sabbatical.  I think I need to work on getting away from constant communication a little more.  I hate feeling like I "depend" on it.  This whole blogging bit isn't so bad, I don't feel a NEED to do it.  I can easily set it aside.  I wish I could do that with texting and Facebook - I just seem to end up doing it without even realizing.  I get lost in a world apart from everything that is actually going on.  That's not good.  I want to try to become more focused on the here-and-now.  I hope I can do that this summer (and future).

And on that note, I guess I'll get back to the here-and-now and face the music (or lecture) going on.  =)
