So I know you all probably think I am quite the slacker since I haven't posted in almost two weeks. Well, you are right about the slacker part, but not really because of my blog absence. Ever since I got the good report you would think I would be walking on air and resuming normal function. Don't get me wrong, I certainly and thrilled, thankful, and ecstatic that I am alright, but for some reason I just haven't been able to get myself back into the swing of things. I mean, sure, I fulfill the necessary obligations to get me through each day, but I am missing my normal zest for productivity and general over-achieving. Perhaps it is just the winter doldrums... With all of the crazy freezing rain and hail and snow around here it has definitely thrown me off a little bit. It is very hard to get back into a routine when once a week you are waiting to hear if the interstates have been shut down or something.

I have decided that I must force myself to get out of the house each day, regardless of what appointments/meetings, etc. are going on. Between Wellington and television (two of my biggest weaknesses), I have become quite useless at home. However, I am at my office currently and for some reason after an hour of studying I am incredibly bored and looking for other distractions. These facts have led me to the following conclusions:

1. I have very little to no self-discipline.
2. I have the attention span of toy poodle.
3. I am going to fail comps.

However, I will not be going down without a fight. Once I can muster that fight, and all. So wish me luck, and expect to hear from me more frequently now (because of the obvious attention span/lack of discipline thing). And then wish me luck again. Now to on to something scholarly...
