Internet Addicted

I wanna sit at my computer less...and work out more.

I wanna watch TV less...and read more.

I wanna chat to friends with electronics and say we'll hang out soon less...and actually see each other face to face more.

Being a kid of the "technology" phase, I've struggled with this ever since we got the Internet when I was in sixth grade. We had the old AOL dial-up and I wasn't allowed on after school while my parents weren't home, just in case there was a phone emergency. Of course, being a middle school kid, I went online anyways and always got in trouble when my mom tried to call. One of my best friends would make fun of me sitting on the computer online or playing Sims (yeah, remember that game?!) while she was outside. It would make me feel bad, but I didn't stop using the computer after school.

These days with online classes, being a web intern, being a blogger, and simply being addicted to Facebook, I am online a majority of the day. Don't get me wrong. I like online classes a lot and I love my internship. I also love blogging and think Facebook and email are awesome ways to stay in touch. But I also feel like I spend wayyyy too much online.

So my goals for this upcoming fall semester are to start working out at school after my class and to swap a ton of TV and Internet time for reading. Any more tips or suggestions? I need your help! :)

Book Review Part 2

Just wanted to share something. Remember my book review from a few weeks back? Now it is up on her website and in her February Newsletter (that I helped work on as well). I intern for Sandra and I think you should check out her revamped website and see my review there. :)

And don't forget to ask me a question. Once there are a few I will answer them in a post. Thanks everyone - have fun with it!
