I used to have my homepage set to Google, but I have the handy little Google search bar that comes in Safari, so I decided that it would be OK if I changed it. Sometimes little changes like that bug me. I don't mind the big things like moving or trying new experiences, but the small day-to-day things can really be tough to change. For instance, when I pick a seat in a class, that is my seat. My seat. My seat. I'll whine and complain about how badly Mr. McBroadback sitting in front of me smells (like a hot McDonald's ball pit), but I won't move. Because that's my seat. Anyway, the homepage change was one of those big deals.

But it was worth it! I changed it to stickyscreen.org where you can type a couple of lines on an electronic Post-It. So far, I've been choosing motivational-y quotes to keep my desire and my motivation for studying at premium levels. Yesterday: "Persistence of action comes from persistence of vision." Today: "When you live for a strong purpose, hard work isn't optional, it's necessary."
