I.Am.Bored

And that never happens to me! I mean, never. Everything is boring to me today. My job, my desk, my car, even my blog. I'm bored. And I don't know why. I had my advising appointment today. I am ready to go, and will actually be starting in summer with an on-line course instead of waiting until fall. YIKES. I now only have a month to prepare myself to become a student again instead of 4 months. Maybe that's why I feel bored today. I have the excitement of going to back to school in my blood and I just want to start right away. I'm nervous, but at the same time, I want to get going right away. Enough waiting already. Let's get it started! (OK, now I have that Black Eyed Peas song running through my head and probably will all day...)

So, anyway, in honor of my boredom, I think I'm going to copy Morning Glory and do a "50 things about me" list today. That will definitely help my boredom to try and come up with fifty things about myself. I'm not sure I even know fifty things about myself. Sooo, here we go.
