Final Blog Post

As I look back on the blogging project, I am very glad that I chose to pick a more serious topic.  I debated back and forth on whether or not to pick something that I thought others would judge me on.  I came to my conclusion because I felt that, since this topic is so intriguing to me, it would be more interesting for me to write about.  Obviously it's kind of a risk that I chose to pick something that's kind of personal to me, but since most people already know about it, I thought I would do my best to clear up what seemed inexplicable. I also was happy to finally do some research on it, as Randolph does not usually like me to have time to do things I would like to do. Learning more about why I space out so much helped me find some ways to not do it as often.  I don't mind it except when it happens at a time when I need to be paying attention to a task at hand.  Keeping busy and finding things to garner my attention will be steps I will take to getting past my problem.  As far as oversleeping, the earlier I try to go to bed, the earlier I will eventually fall asleep.  I really should try and get to bed earlier than I do, although that would really cut into my nightly Xbox time...  I really enjoyed the comments, and it was nice to see what other people thought and that daydreaming wasn't as uncommon as I thought at first.  I was really just glad to see that people understood what I was talking about and wouldn't think I was just depressed or a complete weirdo.  I'm happy that I got to talk about something interesting to me, and it made this assignment a bit less painless than most school assignments.  From this assignment I have learned more about myself as a person and first and foremost learned that there are certain things about myself that I will have to accept.  One of the hardest things in life for me to accept is the fact that I don't have control over everything and some things I will not be able to find answers for.  Sometimes I think that the nihilists may have a point to some extent.  I won't lose so much sleep over things that I wrack my brain over if I can just learn to accept some things as they are.  The Serenity Prayer carries a lot of truth with it and it is something that I think will help me through my life as I continue to try and overthink life's most frustrating questions.  Life will give me many ups and downs and while I will strive to learn from every mistake to be the best person that I can be, I have to learn that some things simply will never be understood and I will have to move on with my life.

"God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
Courage to change the things that I can,
And the wisdom to know the difference."
