Oddly enough, I’m not scratching for Twitter and Facebook as much as I thought I would. I find that I can just as easily be distracted by the internet without the help of people giving me things to be distracted with. I do miss getting into conversations with people I only communicate on social networks. I also miss just being able to express my thoughts to the world whenever I like since I always get interesting feed back. But, since I have been so busy with school work, I really cannot get into socializing as much right now. One thing I do notice is that I feel less compelled to be on the internet without being on social networks. I’m ok just checking my mail every so often on my phone and otherwise I can pretty much do most of my work anywhere. I guess when I go onto social networks, I can immediately get draw to a whole lot of things I had no intention of getting involved with and it becomes a little voyeuristic and distracting from any real purpose. Maybe I will have to do some reorganizing when I get back.

Thanks for the prayers. I hope you are all doing well and that you have missed my presence too much.
God Bless
