Well, I did it. This morning I canceled MySpace and then Twitter. And approximately 30 seconds ago, I deactivated my Facebook account. We'll see how long this lasts since Facebook makes it so simple to reactivate. I'm going for at least two weeks without it though. I might feel out of the loop, a little lost without unnecessary distractions, and a little sad about not keeping in touch or up-to-date with some people BUT, I figure if we need each other in our lives enough, we'll find another way to communicate. It's actually kind of freeing. I just need to give myself the chance to not be addicted to it anymore and to get out of the habit of posting status updates. In fact, I'm going to try my best to not use status updates when/if I reactivate my account.
On another note, I've been feeling kinda down lately. I'm not exactly why, but I have been. I think a lot of it's stress from all of the work that I need to get done. Other emotions come from not talking to a particular someone. I'm just confused. I thought I was fine, but I miss the friendship we had going...a lot. Hopefully it's not completely dead after just getting short answers and responses I just stopped initiating communication all together. I just gave up on it. Maybe I'll get the guts to pick up the phone and call one of these days but until then, I'll just let my heart continue to ache. Plus, my old roomie and I exchanged pacts the other night, and if I give in now, I'll owe her a spaghetti dinner, lol.
Well, I have thesis stuff to crank out...I really have no desire to work on it. Maybe I'll defer until winter semester....

How has life been without the social networks? I got your letter and it has made my week! I have a combined test in all my classes on Monday and am trying to remain calm while I prepare. I will do my best to write to you soon. Love, Anna
