Please do not leave advice. Thank you. Prayers welcome.
Okay, so just as an update, I have been on the dating site, but I want to spend finals week doing finals, and other stuff, so I am committing to not logging in to check my mail or browse people's profiles until 5/23/2011. I am keeping my account deactivating during this time, in order to hinder curiosity, and stop myself from worrying about what's written there. There's no reason why knowing how people feel is more important than what I'm doing now. I need A's on my finals in order to continue in school, and I'm going to do that. I am also going to be avoiding facebook during this time. I deactivated my account for the umpteenth time today. I am good at staying away, so long as I delete my account, I'll see how it goes, with leaving up an ad. I also went to YouTube and removed my email subscription to things, so that I only log in on the weekends. But yeah, I'm really good at not doing things for periods of time, let's see if I can DO things. I mean, this is a program of topline behavior.
Frustrated
Did pretty well yesterday. Made decent progress and stopped work at 8:15 PM. Hung around and worked on some personal things until 9:30 or so. Wasn't able to get myself to bed promptly, though. Stayed up until 2 AM watching a movie.
Feeling down and kind of frustrated today because I am back at work on a very nice warm afternoon. Most of the day is gone, and along with it my unrealistic plans for a super-productive weekend. I am dragging, and don't feel great. I definitely need to find a more balanced and restorative pattern. Goals for what remains of the weekend.
Goal 1: 3 hours of work, 15 minutes per case, with no internet "breaks"
Goal 2: Leave by 9:30 PM.
Goal 3: Will try not to get distracted at home and get to bed by 11 PM.
Back to report.

OK, I'm resisting getting starting today. Surfing, disorganization and poor sleep habits have b3een an increasingly big problem in the last few days.
That said, I've gotten two big things done over the weekend: sending off r.r. and also finding a roommate for the fall.
For today, I seriously need to catch up on MK project (I have sample collection, and expts to check on, and PAS staining/photo, and records...)
I also need to write B. email (something I've been promising my adviser for a while) and do some cleaning and place orders.
