Dear friends,
I'm cutting myself off from reading blogs for a week. Actually, I'm cutting out all unnecessary reading (and definitely the tv!). I'll miss reading all of your blogs...but oy--I find that I waste incredible amounts of time on the internet. (side note: I do not consider reading blogs a waste of time because I read some really incredible and inspiring blogs--but I am easily distracted and would rather read about all of you than do my own work. If there is one thing I want out of life right now it is to GRADUATE. Sometimes I am afraid to admit to myself just how much work that will involve. I hide behind a lot of things. I am hoping that cutting out a few distractions will help me to face myself and the things I need to accomplish. To be honest, I am scared shitless that I don't have it in me, but maybe that's another story.)
While I was in India I did a 10 day Vipassana (silent meditation). We were not allowed to listen to music, to speak, to read, or to write. It was wonderful--but difficult. Asking a writer not to write?! Oh boy. So this is my self-imposed/created Vipassana since I don't have time for the real thing. I need this. No more white-noise--at least for a while.
I'll be back next week!
love,
jessie

Uff....I need to do the same thing. Badly.
I wish you lots of happiness, peace, and renewed motivation during this coming week. I can certainly relate...as even at this exact moment, I am procrastinating doing my schoolwork by reading blogs. Though you may have your own doubts, I have not a single doubt that you will indeed graduate and succeed with all your dreams. Just remember throughout this week that you're in my thoughts.
Lots of love and hugs!!!
Hell, I did that all last semester
