A Return to Greatness

Well, I sort of fell off the wagon for a couple days there, but I think I am back with a vengeance now and I'm going to try and catch up on everything I missed. I love how after spring break everything intensifies, whether it be the temperature, the workload, or raging adolescent hormones. All are sure signs of spring. Personally I've wanted to spend less time in the same room as my computer. Last night I actually LOGGED OFF AIM and turned off my cell phone! (it sounds impossible, I know, but it happened) and in those . . . 5 minutes . . . I realized something! Holy cow what if someone needs me! I mean, they would have NO WAY of contacting me. I liked this idea. I felt so powerful. I even fantasized about someone actually showing up at my room to talk to me face to face, however; I knew this would not happen. This lack of connectedness was literally causing me physical pain. I started pacing around the room thinking "be strong Liz, be strong! you don't need AIM, you don't need your phone on. You need to sit down and do work!" But alas, after the four minute mark my phone was back on. I managed to hold off on aim until I finished a one page homework assignment, but I could not bare to think all I had missed in that time. I am a poor, poor slave to technology. I wonder if there are counselors for this sort of thing?
