School Makes Me Boring

April 4, 2003 - 2:21pm

When I was accepted into the MBA program, my friend, who had just finished his first semester in the program told me that I wouldn't be updating my site as much as I had in the past. I totally respect this guy, but I thought, "Nah, he doesn't know what he's talking about. I know I'll be busy, but writing is such a priority to me. I'll always write."

Now here I am with only 3 weeks left of the semester looking back to see that he was right. No matter how important writing is to me, it's taken a backseat to other things in my life. I've found that I simply don't have anything I want to write about. I've become quite boring recently because I'm always thinking about school and work. Shoot, just the other night when I talked to Kevin, I realized I talked about work for probably 15 minutes straight...he couldn't even get a word in edgewise! Just know that it's gotten bad and I imagine it will only get worse over the next 2 years I'm in school.

So I'm going to have to try not to obsess over what a boring person I'm becoming. Instead I'm going to have to make an effort to be well-rounded. I'll watch the news and surf the net to get back into pop culture and current events. I'll call my friends and return email. I'll write in my blog! I'll even get out for a social event or two. I'll get to all of this and much more just as soon as I'm done with final exams in 3 weeks.

Oh contraire, mon fraire. You aren't boring. You are investing in yourself and that takes time and dedication. Don't ever feel you have to apologize for your accomplishments. Shine like a supah star!

Ditto, Tina & christine. I think the word you're looking for is "busy." I don't think the boring claim could be proved in a court of law. Exhibit A: ericalucci.com

the perils of success. slicing up the day gets a lot harder when new priorities like work and school account for such big slices. i think your readers will survive. or you could find a creative solution. like posting just simple random thoughts or observations on days you don't have time to really write.
