disconnecting

after receiving a truly awful grade on my anatomy exam, i am taking it upon myself to be removed from temptation such as facebook. i spend hours on this pointless website harvesting crops on farmville, stalking friends' photos, reading wall to walls and writing on other people's walls. i love the site, i love the communication, but with my passion for nursing, i need to get good grades in anatomy along with my other classes, and wasting time on facebook is just not the way to do it.

i am frequently writing about how to become self motivated-- well i think i've finally figured it out. if you get a bad grade in something you care about, it will do one of two things to you: either make you so upset and angry that you quit and give up OR motivate you to try harder for next time and combat it. luckily, my bad grade has done the second of each to me, and i take it upon myself to change the situation. if i get 100% on both of the other tests, i will end up with a decent grade in the class... and in order to get that grade, i need to study like my life depended on it- and in a sense, it does.

so anyway, i'm disconnected. i was in the midst of some conversations and wall writings when i could no longer participate. i had realized my friend had gone onto my account and changed my password. i am no longer who i say i am. i'm disconnected- out.

cheers y'all. i'll be back with a slight increase in grades and a shit ton of motivation.
