Facebook and I are in a relationship

So after spending hours yesterday on the U.S. embassy website looking at all the horrible crimes committed against American citizens in Guatemala in the past year I was slightly stressed and miserable. Then I remembered that I was on this kick to be positive so I re-signed up for my Facebook account so I could stalk all my old friends and live vicariously through their wonderfully entertaining lives. It did the trick. I spent probably an hour or so playing word twist, looking at pictures, leaving comments, and all in all enjoying myself.

Considering that I should probably be doing more productive things with my life (aka studying for the LSAT...Law School, what?), I told Facebook that we could only hang out a couple of times a week. He wasn't extremely happy about it, but I promised that in a couple of weeks I would really be able to dedicate more time to him and we could look at getting a little more serious. I'm looking forward to the time we will be spending together.

Life is awesome

Just thought you should know. Instead of being the usual negative nancy that I have become rather comfortable with, I decided I am going to be all-positive, all the time. Here goes:

So I took a quiz today while I was at work that decided which Jane Austen character I was and I turned out to be Elizabeth Bennett. For those of you who are unfamiliar with Miss Austen, Elizabeth Bennett is a feisty, judgmental, opinionated young woman who ends up marrying an amazingly good-looking, caring, rich guy. Sure at first he appears to be heinous and cruel, but underneath his rough exterior is an intelligent, wonderful human being. Looks like I have something to look forward to. 

I was also notified today that I am going unaccompanied to the rich highlands of Guatemala. Yep. I am going all by myself to a highly dangerous, foreign country where I barely speak the language and will stick out like a sore thumb. Wish me luck...oh yeah and don't tell Betty. 

Man I'm really good at this whole positive thing.

I did it!

I am a grown-up. My first step as a grown-up has been to delete my facebook account and get a blog. I am proud to join the ranks.
