New Omar is new. (Ish.)
(Again, this is one of those entries I’ve been thinking about writing for a few days but only in a general sense. I’ve given no real thought to what I’ll actually say.)
I’m now measuring how long I’ve been off Facebook in months. It’s a little over 2 now, or 9 weeks today if you prefer. Aside from a couple of moments, it’s moved off my radar now (pretty girls aside). I don’t miss it and certainly don’t feel like I’m missing out because I’m not using it. It would be nice to be able to use it contact certain people *cough* that I have no other way of contacting (but in any case that contact would be a little worthless anyway) and since people put all their photos on there I am not seeing those. Those, however are prices I am more then willing to pay.
This last week, I’ve tried (and succeeded generally) at being a lot more proactive at work and more generally too. Things I’ve done:
- Go to bed before 1030
- Finishing my shower with as long as I can take under the coldest setting
- Dropping Twitter - 1 clown-picture-tweet aside. Again, it’s like Facebook. To me it just doesn’t work, it’s not that I don’t like it, it’s just that I feel better for not using it.
- Eating a better lunch – still working on this but have been eating more fruit and not eating crisps anymore.
- Spending less time online doing nothing. Stepping away from the laptop.
- Spending more time doing school work and feeling better for it.
- Actually sorting my classroom out – though this is mostly down to my new TA, who is frankly awesome and the kick up the arse that I really needed.
- I finally got rid of my ageing HTC Hero this week too and have downgraded to a ‘dumbphone’ that cost less then I was paying each month for my previous contract.
