Gah! I can't believe I forgot about the blog for this long. I feel like I'm a bad student or something.
Anyway.
LittleBigPlanet, anyone?
I've been writing a paper on LittleBigPlanet, which is a PS3 game with a lot of interesting online elements, for a while now. The paper has made me start to hate actually playing the game, which is really unfortunate considering how good of a game it is.
That got me thinking. Why do I hate Facebook so much now? I think its because it has become a part of my job and my classes. I can't help but think that when I log in. I need to check messages and whatnot as well as go to groups for classes. By the time I've done all of that, I don't want to be on Facebook anymore.
In fact, I feel like I don't even remember why I ever used it in the first place, if not for work and class? What is the point? The only thing I really use it for now is to make sure I don't forget a friend's birthday. Does anyone else feel this way?
I really hope that this doesn't last. I like the idea of Facebook, and I know beyond the shadow of a doubt that LittleBigPlanet is a great game. Maybe once this semester is over, I can find the enjoyment that I once had from them.

Don't worry about it, man. Stressing about stuff isn't really going to make it better.
Anyways, I feel you. I've had to do things I otherwise enjoy doing for a class or work project before. Holy #@&% I really started to dislike said activity afterwards.
Once it was all over or I took a break from said activity, the enjoyment/desire came back.
I agree with you. Facebook was a leisurely thing I checked maybe once a week. Now I have to remind myself to constantly do it, like a chore.But then again, before these classes I don't think I ever posted anything worth while on these sites either.
When I first started this class I never had a Facebook account. At first I thought it was really interesting and neat and I enjoyed logging in several times a week. That novelty definitely wore thin for me quickly. Now, once I login to Facebook (which isn't as much as it was before) I feel obligated to check my messages first; by the time I'm done responding to everyone I can't wait to log out - completely forgetting about checking the group feature. That, and blogging, has become more like a chore.
I haven't been too bad (I think)with the Facebook stuff but I cannot remember to blog. I mean it'll occasionally pop into my head to do so but I always go to Facebook first because I enjoy it more. By the time I've blogged and messaged in Facebook, done work on Word for either the group project or unit papers, I either tell myself that tomorrow I'll blog or just plain forget.
Great, now I'm stressed just thinking about it.
I've tried to do my blogging even if it meant catching up. But sometimes I get way behind and it's stressful trying to do all the ones I've missed. The whole blogging thing has been tedious too. But sometimes I like it. If it weren't for responding to other students in this class though, I honestly don't know who I would be blogging to or about on Facebook. I never used it before this class.
