Kindle? Nook? Keeping a diary on a website?
These ideas were a horror to me. I had been steadfastly stubborn to distant myself from technological substitutes for my beloved books, pens, and paper. After all, I am the girl who enjoys walking into an office supply store or a bookstore to take in the enticing aromas of ink and fresh paper.
But I have come to terms with my stubborn ways, and have decided that keeping a blog is not necessarily a substitute for keeping a diary (a habit I was never able to keep, sadly). After all, in the past two days I have blissfully purchased SEVEN books (with my Amazon gift card!) that I cannot wait to read. No technological substitutes where it counts for me!
I now believe this blog is a method of catharsis for me as I trek through the 1.5 years of law school that are left. God knows I need some method of venting. I am beginning to wear Zeke out - poor guy.
I had planned on making an appointment with a school counselor, but I remain indecisive. It is difficult to find an effective counselor or therapist when one has no health insurance coverage for the treatment. Until then, I will keep this blog and see if it will provide me some relief.
And boy do I need relief. In just about an hour, I have a meeting with a professor to see if I could become her paid research assistant next year; on Friday I have a job interview with my old boss in the COA; I have yet to receive my mid-term grade; my Comment submission deadline is next Friday; my seminar paper's first draft is due in a couple of weeks.
I try not to settle on the negative. However, I think I concentrate on the negative side of all of these things because I have no way of venting my feelings about them. Perhaps this blog will help me do that, and I can then gratefully focus on the positive. We shall see what happens!
