"Do it for the kittens"
Harvard Business Review
These are just SOME interesting links about the (necessary) hoopla... Now... Go do something about it...
P.S. I am in no way affiliated with these websites/articles/authors other than that I am interested in what THEY have to say. Just sayin.

Day 3 of gym times goin down in an hour an a half
The title has nothing to do with how I feel... but oh, well. The gym thing is making me feel a little better, I guess. Can't hurt, right?
Another friendship gone. Being 25 really blows.

estranged
I think I'm going through a quarter-life crisis. I'm pretty much annoyed/frustrated/angry with friends that will soon no longer be friends--we will only see one another's status updates and such, and that will become the extent of the friendship. It's sad; however, I'm used to it. I do not know if having a long-term friendship is possible anymore.
In light of all this, I am highly considering discontinuing my "social network" profile and such...(this will not happen until the summer, perhaps); I am also considering moving from this state (maybe even move to England). There seems to be very little reason for me to stick around here.
This all seems emo, but typing it out is just a way to help me realize that all of these estranged friendships are real; it helps me realize that, most of the time, there is no point in holding onto friendships that are just bound to end. I need to see that trying to hold on to certain friendships is futile and it just ends up hurting and there is no one to blame and nothing to do about it--friendships just end. That's the way it is.

J----
I was remembering the other day how you and I and K---- had to be involved in that silly conference and I (think I) drove us there and we stayed at my parents' lakehouse and almost got lost trying to get to the conference/rehearsal in L-something Georgia. I haven't written to you but once because I do not know what to say. I'd probably bore you. I'm a coward and I'm sorry.

The test that my graduation depended on
Just making a note to remind myself to write something about this stupid ordeal. Yes, I passed, however, this does not make me feel any better about this test existing.

There's not really anything new to complain about...
I still hate this town.
I am not doing well in school. Tomorrow, I will beg for a professor's mercy.
Today, I seriously considered transferring grad schools (which can be a huge pain) or just simply dropping out. I feel like I was shoved into this decision... it doesn't feel right but, then again, it never really did feel right. Should I have taken a couple of years off from school to work? If so, where the hell would I have worked? Meh, it doesn't matter... Going to grad school or no, it seems like finding a job will be an uphill battle (if what I hear from the battlefront is correct).
I keep missing deadlines.
I do have a back-up plan (I think) if this round of grad school doesn't work out. In undergrad school, I was only one class away from getting a B. A. in Creative Writing. Maybe if this does not work out, I could go back to Georgia ______, take that crazy Sociolinguistics class, and then re-apply to graduate school--only this time, it would be for an M. F. A. Who knows how that'd go... I'd have to deal with a thousand members of the oh-so knowledgable staff at Whatev University: "Hm, no I do not know the answer to your question. Your situation is a little different from the standard. Let me transfer you to Mrs. Hellifeyeno." "No, you need to talk to the Department of We'll Get Back to You Maybe, One Day... let me just transfer you..." "Hm, it seems like you might have to walk around campus until you reach a total of walking ten miles around this campus. After that, you will probably have to send twenty e-mails, of which a few will be answered. After that you will probably be advised to smash your head against a wall." Ok, so maybe I exaggerate. If I don't ever ask or see about it then I won't ever know, blah blah blah. I know.
On a lighter side, I have rediscovered my love of cartoons--sounds silly and maybe dumb but there is so much one can do with a cartoon. Joe Murray is now a hero of mine, haha. (Joe Murray created Rocko's Modern Life as well as Camp Lazlo, however, I am not very familiar with Camp Lazlo as I have not watched it more than a couple of times.) I cannot draw but I think my humor and cynicism would fit in quite well with cartoons. Any sort of satire... I'd be interested in.
I was also thinking of creating a website. It wouldn't be for making money, obviously, as I do not have the mind to do that sort of thing (maybe one day). The website would have random things on it for random people like me... I have more in-depth ideas, of course, but if I typed those out on here then someone would obviously steal them. Why--because I'm awesome. I know I'm awesome... just not totally awesome at this point in my life. One day, I will be totally awesome again... I will be more totally awesome because this time in Milledgeville will be in my past.
