Whatever

This is just a quick post to prove that I'm still alive and to illuminate and acknowledge that I'm losing motivation for certain things. Like blogging. I've had several ideas, trips or other goings ons that would make for wonderfully poetic blog posts sure to captivate and titillate but I haven't felt the desire to sit before this internet machine and type it up (which is kinda weird because once I begin typing I find it hard to stop). I'm also losing motivation for my Spanish class. I still enjoy it and still want to learn it as much as ever, but with the semester winding down and a poor grade on the last test (which, along with excuses, will be posted as soon as I get it returned to me by my instructor) I find it hard to take seriously anymore. I am ready to move on to Costa Rica and actually apply what I learned in a more practical and sink-or-swim format (also, today I had another test which I am expecting to do somewhat poorly, if not completely poorly on). It's not a lack of motivation for the Spanish, it's a lack of motivation to study for it. I sit down and try to study but always find a way to distract myself.

- On my way home today I stopped by my normal gas station and filled my tank up. I got a twenty-cent discount which dropped the price to $1.79/gallon. Paying thirty-eight bucks for a full tank versus the seventy-five it used to be is a welcome silver lining to a toilet bowl economy. Who says a recession and deflation are all bad?!?

- I feel as though I'm in a transitional phase of some sort. I just don't know what that entails or where I might come out after it's over. There's only one way to find out: keep a keen eye focused on my blog. Yep, that's how. I'm sure I'll post more about it...eventually.

Stay tuned.
