I have 23 days left of classes (including the weekends). Meaning I'm done with all my classes on April 23 because, for some awesome reason, I have no finals. But I don't graduate until May 8, which means I have 2-3 weeks of whatever-the-heck-I-want-to-do time. I have to say, I'm ready for that.
Actual days until I'm done with schoolwork stuff: 23
Actual days of classes left: 14

So Many E-Options!
Not much time to write, but just a quick note on today's world of communication. I just noticed that I have 4 email addresses that I check regularly. Why in God's name do I need that many? I get that they are used for different purposes, but really. I sometimes wonder how many messages I get each day, too. On my college email, I probably get 50+ emails a day, and that is just things having to do with me! I just can't imagine people 100 years ago dealing with something like that. Then again, I suppose they would have just gotten used to it like us.
Also, there are so many social networks out there, that I just can't think of how many people are involved on the internet, such as what I'm doing right now. Then I just go back to thinking of capitalism all over again, thinking how, if a profit can be made, then hoards of companies will jump in to make as much as they can. Thanks to this simplistic view of economics, we have things like Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, LinkedIn, etc.
Just thought I would blurb a little about that.
By the way, because I'm such a neat freak, I have a running list of all of the websites, companies, etc. (to the best of my knowledge) with which I have some sort of online account. That way, I know what I want to keep/delete when I'm not using a certain online service. I don't want to be on someone's database if I'm not using it anymore. It's crazy to think about the hundreds of databases I am on, just in the electronic world.

Starting Something New
After being a loyal follower of this girl's blog for some time now, I've decided to enter the web 2.0 world myself. While I've always been up-to-date on technology and internet trends, I have never sat down to create my own blog, other than a livejournal way back when. So I'm going to try this out for a change.
I graduate in a little over a month. But I'm done with all of my classes in exactly four weeks, which is crazy to think about. I still don't know what I will be doing after I graduate, which I am okay with. I don't want to rush into some job that I may hate, so I'm taking my time to decide what is right for me. But I also realize I may not be able to be that picky in our current economic situation. Still, I'm not stressing over it, and good things are bound to come my way (with God's help, that is).
More to come in the future, when it's not 3:00am.
