Updates

I took the plunge last night and got rid of Facebook. It felt great and now I'm even considering giving Myspace the cyber-boot...although I don't want to regress into the Stone Age. The main problem with Facebook was that it was getting too crowded, especially with some of the more maddening members of my hyper-religious extended family. I didn't see a real benefit to having it in my life other than getting annoyed, so I canned it.

Especially in the age of the Internet, it's easy to become overextended and overwhelmed with meaninglessness. By eliminating some of it, I'm opening up enormous amounts of time to do more important things.

In other news, I started the volunteer program in the ER and got my internship at the hospital in town. I've been slacking on studying for the MCAT and am making a conscious effort to step it up this week. I'm going shopping with mom in Seattle this Friday, Dog-Friendly wine tasting with Coltrane and Travis this Saturday, and Crimestopper's canyon bicycle ride next Saturday. A fun two weeks are in store!
