I'm Not Dead ... Yet

All evidence to the contrary, I am still alive. Just barely. I managed to get through senior year and the thesis despite being riddled by senioritis and a general readiness to never have to read or write a paper about Marx or Freud ever again.

That's right. Sofia—the eternal procrastinator, the queen of putting things off, the "I work best under pressure girl"— actually managed 2 bachelor degrees in just 3.5 years. I sure fooled someone, or many someones. I suppose I shouldn't celebrate just yet, since I haven't actually received my degree in the mail yet and it is entirely possible that a letter telling me what an idiot I am will arrive instead. Fingers crossed (for the degree, not the idiot letter).

I also survived the circus that was having my family here for graduation. As much as I love them, they only get crazier and crazier the older they get. So now I find myself freshly graduated and with no steady job and all the time to do the things I haven't been doing (or only did to procrastinate) for the last 3.5 years.

Where to begin?

First things first, I figured I'd start by getting back to the blog(s) (which I have to say made for some really good procrastination fodder while studying for finals—old posts proved that I am the most fascinating person in the world ... to myself). I'm hoping to manage daily posts, but no promises.

Second things second, to aide me with doing all the things I'd like to do this summer, I joined 43 Things and started a life list. I know that sounds like some weird, new-agey bullshit, but its basically an online community where people post lists of their goals and people can give each other kudos (or "cheers" in 43 Things-speak) and advice. I mostly did it for myself and don't expect too much attention from other people. It also allowed me to combine my love of list making with my efforts to not suck at life.

I think this is the third time I've restarted the blog after a hiatus, so hopefully third time is indeed a charm.
