Back to my lazy Sundays :)

I'm having the hardest time re-adjusting my schedule to Bangor time. My sleeping is off--I'm ridiculously tired. And meals are the worst. I'm used to having lunch around 2/3 and dinner around 9/10. That's NOT going to work now that I'm back in Bangor. I'm going to have to starve myself or something, until I'm actually hungry at meal times.

I woke up around 10:30, had some mini chocolate chip muffins for breakfast :) Then I worked on typing up my blog again. I'm all caught up, which is very exciting! It was a lot of work, so I hope my faithful few readers enjoy it ;)

After finally posting all my blog, I started on the Facebook photo albums. That was not fun. I had to try to pick the "best" pictures, and label all of them. But I didn't know what everything was when I was there! So between my maps that I've collected, and google, I figured some of it out :)

Melisa and I made alfredo for dinner. I could barely eat it, I so wasn't hungry at 6:30. This needs to change. I'm getting up in the morning to work out, and then I'll be starting to work on my two last papers. I'm not excited. The possible topics for my sociology paper are very...opinion-based and theoretical. But I need resources. Those two things don't actually fit together very well. It's kind of frustrating.

On a more positive note, I filled out a scholarship application today. I had to write a page autobiography, about community service and my goals. It was really refreshing to sit and think about how things I've done have had an impact on my life. I've done Big Brothers Big Sisters for three years now, and it was during this that I realized what I want to do with my life. And that never would have happened without Big Brothers Big Sisters, despite the frustrations and challenges I've had with it, and my "little." Working with a boy with ADHD hasn't been easy, but it's been one of the most worthwhile things I've done while at Ripon. And the BBBS coordinator emailed me--she met with my "little" this semester, and he really misses me :) Things like that are nice to hear, and it reminds me that what I'm doing is worthwhile..I have a goal, and a plan.
