The Social Network :: Le Réseau Social

My motivation might've been slowly diminishing since the start of the school year.  I've begun to understand all my classes, but it's still tiring.  I'm pretty sure it's just like being a regular student again, since it's not the language that's making me yawn all the time.

I understand all my classes now, which might be a good reference for future students abroad.  I'm not saying that I get good grades in all of them, but I understood when my history teacher said that "dictators don't like social networks."  A very obvious statement.

Funnily enough, neither does my organization.  Apparently, using Facebook makes exchange students homesick.  I suppose that's another very obvious statement.

Therefore, I feel guilty whenever I use Facebook.  Or, at least I did.  Certainly way more at the beginning of the year, when I was trying to be the ideal exchange student.  Now, three months in, it's a bit like my guilt has been transformed into apathy.

the shadow couldn't bore me less

My dad said it's because the novelty wore off (that's another thing I shouldn't be doing, e-mailing my parents), and maybe.  The solution for that, would be to start new things, to use my time for better purposes.

I'm sure my host family can tell that I'm becoming less motivated.  My host mother insists that I open my window curtains (not that I was shut up in darkness before) to let the sunshine in.

Considering how I'm at school for the duration of sunshine, I'm not sure how much that helps.  Though it is nice on the weekends.  Sunshine is something I need to appreciate more here, since it's night time at five o' clock.  God, I can feel myself becoming more and more moody.

at least I can always see white circles with spikes on the internet

Doing schoolwork is probably a better way to keep myself motivated too.  I'm glad that I decided not to do a credit transfer of my grades in France, since it'd be so much more stressful if I was worrying about homework and tests all the time, but I'm sure I'm more sluggish because of it.

slugs were never very motivated creatures
