The Internet and the Library

I have a love-hate relationship to the internet. In many cases, it brings much joy to my life. I can email friends from across the world, listen to an assortment of music on Pandora, do my homework, research, keep up on the news, etc.

However, the internet is il diavolo as well. It's so distracting! Like at this very moment...I should be reading about business ethics followed by my own written code of ethics. Instead, I have used the internet to fiddle around minor special interest pieces and end here--describing my frustration to focus on blogspot.com.

As busy as I will be when I start work next week, I will be grateful because the pressure of deadlines will scare me (or motivate me, whichever way you would like to look at it) into finishing my homework in a timely manner. This sometimes requires the occasional visit to the library! *gasp*

That brings me to another point! Why does school have to buzz-kill my admiration toward libraries? Growing up, libraries used to be magical places for me. It was an event when my mom and I would stride through those double doors, and then she'd tell me to pick out as many books as I wanted to read that week. The library held positive feelings of adventure, love, and knew facts to learn. It was fun! Now when I think of a library, my mind impulses to feelings of worry, stress, technical readings, midterms, late nights, and finals.
News flash: Those things kinda ruin my previous feelings for a library.

But I must press on. Homework calls my name! And so does my warm cup of hot chocolate to accompany me through the journey of writing my code of ethics.

Thank you, blogspot, for a space to release my frustrating feelings of the evening.

Peace. <3. :D
