Changes

How many of you blogged yesterday? Yesterday was National Aids Day. I haven’t blogged on December 1 since I’ve had a blog. It’s my little way of making a difference in the world. But that doesn’t mean that I can’t fiddle with the settings and the layout here or the site in general! I made some changes around here. Notice anything…new?

I want to get things going here before I start linking all around the web. If I’m going to link at all. I was thinking about not doing that. I feel like I got a lot accomplished yesterday. Themes. Plugins. Gallery. Closed my old blog forever. Huh?

Yes, I closed my old blog. On November 30th it was a year since I was last able to update it. Or that was the last time I ever updated it. Eventually, I’ll go back and get all the entries and images from it, but until then, they’re safe on my server. I really missed toying with a site and getting it to work (right for a change!) and making it look the way I want. It was a lot of work, but I really like how things are turning out. It helps that I had some friends work with the site as well. I couldn’t have done all of this without you!

Life is slowly getting better. I’m trying to improve. It just takes so damned long and so much work to get things in gear. Tomorrow is my White Coat Ceremony at 2pm. Do I feel accomplished? I’d like to think I am. I’m about two years or eight semesters away from a Ph.D, but I know there are other doctors out there who already have a Ph.D and they’re solving the problems of the world. I feel like I have some kind of depression. Just getting motivated to install a gallery and some Themes and Plugins on this site drained me. Most people get that done in a few hours. Not me. I took all day. Why would someone so accomplished take all day to do a few simple tasks? It’s a chore for me to feed the people here. It’s a chore for me to clean up the infection-soaked clothes. It’s a chore for me to do anything these days. The semester went by fast, but it drained me as well. I feel like I haven’t done a thing right these past few months. I don’t think I’m in any danger of flunking out of school, but I don’t feel like I should be allowed to graduate, either. I’m a mess, huh?

The neighbors down the street finally decorated their tree. It just doesn’t seem like Christmas until they decorate and I can see the lights from my bedroom window. I miss the old traditions. Christmas parties, caroling, baking. I guess I can’t do all of that this year. Maybe that’s a sign to start some new traditions? Make some new memories. While there’s still time.
