What am I doing?

So, the question of the moment is, what am I doing? I ask myself this because I have been laying in my friend's bed for a few hours, with my lovely computer. I have been thoroughly enjoying myself as I have been stumbling through stumbleupon.com. I was thinking, this is normal. This is typical of a college student. Procrastination.

But, as I sat here, I watched my friend (who's bed I am laying in) go to the gym, without me, and leave me here, still laying in her bed when she got back... How lazy can I be? Then a friend of mine texted me and we started talking about how we haven't worked out in a while. Like, for instance (so you can get a feel for how bad this is), I am fasting, and have somehow managed to gain 5 pounds. HOW IS THAT POSSIBLE?! It's interesting to say the least, and it's made me think. What am I doing?

Where is my life going? What is in store for me this summer? Next year? The next 4 years? AGH. I think before I tackle these bigger questions, I need to tackle one of the ones at hand- like where am I going to live next year?

I feel like time just passes by so quickly. The sun comes up and then goes down, and we just go through the motions. It makes you think, what are you going to make of your life? What are you going to do to impact others, to love everyone, to make a difference, and to do all these things for our God above?

What could I have accomplished in all the time I just wasted looking at pictures of animals stuck on rooftops and paintings that look so realistic you wouldn't believe- like all of these that I MUST show you:











This may be a lot of pictures, but YES, they are all PAINTINGS.  Hard to believe, right? Well you better believe it! It's insane. I can say I've probably spent most of my time marveling at how real these look. But this one really kills me...

HOW IN THE WORLD DID SHE DO THIS?!


Anyways, now that I have marveled over these paintings, I will move on. To life. My life specifically. At the moment there is so much going on:
            1. writing an English rhetorical analysis on a Got Milk? ad... fun...
            2. wasting time on stumbleupon.com
            3. searching desperately for a place to live next year that isn't two miles from campus.
            4. trying to decide what to do with my life- psychology or studio art? Any ideas- holler at me.
            5. Planning my summer- Uganda here we come!

Well, I guess now that I have it into words, it doesn't look so bad after all.  Decisions, decisions.  At least I can look forward to tomorrow, and the fact that I have tennis class where I will get an ounce of exercise to feel better about myself. I feel like I have to say "woah" every time I look at myself in the mirror and ask myself, "can any human being be for pale?" This is what I need:


The beach. The beach will cure everything. 

So, now that I have covered every random tangent my mind will lead me to tonight, I leave now with the question- what am I doing?
