I feel inauthentic being here. It’s been well over a month since I’ve said anything on here. Shared anything of my life. I feel fake trying to come back to it all now. Truthfully I am only here in protest to a paper I have to finish by tomorrow morning. Who knows how long I would have been gone otherwise?
I have had so much to share with you. Our first weekend trip together. Another anniversary. I am officially graduating this year. I bought a new camera. Spring is playing hard to get up here. There has been a lot and yet I haven’t come here to write about it.
The reason that keeps going on and on in my head is that I have been to busy. That’s partly true, but mostly it’s because while I am getting better at time management, it’s still not my thing. It also explains why I have an essay to finish by tomorrow that is only half done at the moment. I clearly win all the prizes.
Every time I sit down to write something here I end up writing elsewhere for someone else. This term is hectic. I seem to have saved the best for last (almost last as it were). The amount of reading is intense, the writing more so. The exams are livable, but the group projects! Oh they are a burden to the soul.
My life is school and work and not spending all of my money. I have a bad habit of impulsive shopping as a recent spat has pointed out. It’s something I need to work as I often wonder why I am so broke after buying new shoes.
All this ramble to say hello again. All these words an attempt to make it natural. Blogging is like riding a bike, you never really forget how, but you sure are rusty at the start of it.
Sometimes words can say so much, but mostly they just say nothing at all. Words are alluringly malleable and can be shaped into wondrously beautiful beings.
Hi!
I agree with your statements. I am also rusty now. I am not in school but let other things take my time over writing at my blog most days.
Sometimes I wonder how much of a life those “famous” bloggers have, with being able to blog all the time.
But then I just think they are more organized than I am
If it makes you feel better, I think blogging in general is rusty right now. Life is meant to be lived – not spent behind a monitor. Concentrate on school and update when you want. I’ll always stop by to read and say hi and cheer you on!
Thank you Sybil! I used to able to carve more time out to update, but life just moves so fast now a days. I can’t even imagine how fast it will keep speeding up!
I second Sybil. I used to blog every single little thing, and then somewhere between switching domains started making an attempt to live rather than document. I still love blogging and I still enjoy reading everyone’s blogs, but I’m more of a doer now than I used to be. Besides, you’re in your final semester of college; of course you don’t have time to blog!
I do know that fake feeling, though. I’ve been trying not to blog the negative, but every so often I really want to. I just find it hard to now, since so many people I see on a daily or at least monthly basis read along. I feel like I always have to watch what I’m saying so I don’t unintentionally hurt anyone’s feelings.
Oh, how I miss those carefree word vomit blogging days sometimes…

I know how you feel! My parents read my blog, so I really feel that if I blog about something negative I am going to get a phone call about it! Haha.
But in a way it’s nicer..it helps me focus on what is really good right now rather than what is bad.
(I have one more quarter after spring…taking the summer off. But I super close!)
You think you’re rusty at blogging? I’m the one who forgot his server password. Talk about amateur hour!

You are such an amateur!
I feel rusty too. Authenticity isn’t determined by volume but content, so I think you’re fine. Nice to see you around!

Thank you! I think it’s something we all deal with, it’s an ebb and flow type of thing. I just don’t know if this is the ebb or the flow.
Blogging… None of us can hold a candle to Dave2 who blogs every day, even when he’s on a cruise ship. But regardless of that, I have my own bouts of sporadic posts even though I have a ton of stuff I want to blog about in my head. Most of the reason I go MIA some days and weeks is due to time management and letting other things in life suck most of my time away.
Living life and enjoying the time you spend outside the online world should be done. But know there are some of us that love to read the details about it, too.
No pressure, Sarah… no pressure.

Haha! I am going to try and develop a schedule to sit down and right, either blogging or whatever. (Hoping I can get Vahid on it too…at least for writing stories!) I like to write, just never seem to have enough hours in the day to do it all!
