Today, I cut the cord. I canceled my MySpace account. It wasn’t a very strong cord - I’ve rarely logged on lately - but given how I like to feel connected and in touch, and how I jump on any internet bandwagon as soon as it comes into view, this was a pretty big move for me. But I hated MySpace, really. Bad design, clunky interface, the site was often down, spam, hijacked accounts…need I go on? After yet another comment spam from a friend’s hijacked account, I got fed up. Besides, Facebook is so much better, in my opinion, and has taken the place of MySpace over the last few months in terms of my usage. Most people that were on MySpace are also on Facebook, and there are many others that are on Facebook that aren’t on MySpace. It’s a lot easier to find and add friends on Facebook and there are many options to communicate and keep up with them, directly and indirectly. There is a lot to do on Facebook…not so much on MySpace. Need I go on?

So, if you wanna look me up on a social networking site, you won’t find me on MySpace anymore. Good riddance!

On a separate note…my brain hurts. My second grad school class - Management Behaviors and Skills - started this week. Three and a half hours on a Monday. Yuck. Stats class for two and a half hours on another night. I’m finding it’s really hard to do stay motivated to do homework and focus in class. So far, I’m doing fine as far as my grades, but I know I need to buckle down and and keep on top of things or it’s going to be that much worse when the holidays roll around. It seemed like a no-brainer to pursue an MBA several months ago, but now that I’m in school, I’m realizing how much time it’s taking out of my life. I like the idea of being in school and pursuing my MBA, but the time commitment is really hard to swallow right now. When I’m not at work, in class or doing homework, I just feel so tired and overwhelmed with everything. It’s especially a burden now that I’m getting more involved in church and that I’m really hoping to get involved in a creative ministries team soon. To what extent do I give up things that I really want to do in order to pursue my MBA? Maybe I need to cut other things out of my life, or manage my time better. Just something I’m thinking about…

“Happy Little Brains” gets debuted tomorrow. I’ve barely worked on it since I decided that was going to be my costume, so I’m going to spend a chunk of the day tomorrow working on it…I hope it turns out like I envision it…
