I picked the right time to start a blog because now I can begin by bragging on my Texas Longhorns. Unfortunately, I don't go to the University of Texas, but as a native Texan I am very glad to see the national trophy come back home to Texas. Nobody believed me when I said that Vince Young was the Heisman winner. Did ya'll see that game? Matt who? Reggie who? Vince Young is the shit!!!! After a terrific win like that I'ma step out on the ledge now and say that Vince Young now becomes the number one draft pick. That win was better than a blow out. Honestly, that may be the best football game I have ever seen. Enough Texas bragging for now, but there will be more to come rest assured.

Allow me to introduce myself. My name is Jen and I am a senior in college due to graduate in May. I was a former honors student and I always made really good grades. Recently, I have become a slacker. For the last two years I have become an extreme slacker. The near 4.0 GPA is now barely clinging to 3.0. I barely go to class. I miss tests. The worst thing about it is that I could careless.

Everyone thinks that I'm doing so well in school. The truth is that I am not. I tell them that I am so involved, when in actuality all I do is sleep and hang out and then make an occassional appearance in class.

What happened? I know ya'll are asking yourselves. Well after my sophmore year I wanted to transfer to a college closer to home to be closer to my family and friends. I am unhappy at the school I am at. It is tremendously boring and the college itself lacks the diversity that one would need to enjoy their college experience. And there is no mall here, but of course there is Wal-Mart. I DO NOT LIKE WAL-MART!
Anyways my mom flipped out about changing colleges. She seemed to recruit every member of my large family to pressure my into staying here. So I did, but not because I wanted to but in order to please everyone else as I usually do.

I returned here with a defeatest attitude. I am here but I wish I were somewhere else. This state(LA), city, and town have made me lose my mojo. I'm just not the same person any more. I've become a floater. I float through things. For instance, my poor attendance in class caused me to miss an exam that I can not make up. It really doesn't bother me. So what if I fail.

This attitude used to just present itself in school, but now it is following me in other parts of my life. I have lost sight of my career plans. I have started to blow off friends and am now becoming something of a loner. My relationships have failed. Not to mention that I could stand to lose some extra weight. My self confidence has completely nose dived. My world is beginning to get very gray and dysfunctional. I AM GETTING VERY SCARED. I DON'T KNOW HOW TO GET OUT OF THIS FUNK!!!!

Things would get better if I could only talk to someone. My parents wouldn't understand. My sister would be hypocritical. My brother is probably in the same boat as me. My grandparents think that I will do "great things" and have me on this elevated level of success that I don't have. My friends would judge me. I was the one pushing everyone to succeed in highschool and now most of them are on the Dean's List . If I go to the school counselor I'll feel like a complete nutcase.

Until I figure out a plan I just continue to float. Watch too much TV, watch too much basketball, read too many gossip magazines, read too many books, sleep too much, shop too much, eat too much, and definately lie to much.

It's funny when I talk to my mom and dad, they just say that I have lazy bones ( hence the title), but honestly mom and dad I'm just screwed up. Yes, one of your precious babies is a little screwed up right now. Sorry to disgrace the family.

If I were a braver person I would drop out of school, max out my credit card to go on a shopping spree and travel the world. Sadly enough, those may be the only two things I care about with the exception of sports and finding a new boyfriend. I am a total sports junkie! I love the fellas too! My boyfriends never seem to like sports as much as me.

Well anyways I'll end this blog by saying Congrats to the Texas Longhorns!! Way to knock those pretty boys on their asses. When nobody gives ya respect sometimes ya just gotta snatch it away from them. V.Y. you are a stud. Can't wait to see the headlines tomorrow.

Everyone in Austin be safe. Don't party too hard!!

RIP to those miners who passed away.

If you've seen my mojo let me know!! I need it back in a hurry.

One more thing, please forgive my spelling errors. Its late. I'll try to better next time.

Goodnight!!!
