Facebook and Ice Cream

Hello everyone.
It has been a while,
Partly because my computer had a virus, and also for the lack of things to say.

Lent starts tomorrow.
I am excited to go to the Ash Wednesday service at the Lutheran Center with my friend Allison.
I also have a few other acquaintances there that I am looking forward to seeing.

For me, Lent is about giving up something that you enjoy and also adding something that will be beneficial to you.
This year, I am giving up two things.
The first is ice cream.
I love ice cream.
I could live off of ice cream.
Ice cream is my #1 comfort food, so let's hope nothing goes wrong before Easter.

The second one is going to be a bit rougher at first.
Facebook.
I did it last year and it was hard for a few days, but after I got used to it, it was so nice not having to waste my time.

It is such a distraction for me when I am supposed to be using my computer for school related things, and even during class I find myself checking for updates on my phone just because I am bored out of my mind with the lectures.

I am giving up facebook and adding free time.
Last year, I had so much time to read and I always got my homework done at a decent hour because I didn't have facebook to distract me.
I had my roommate change my password last year so I couldn't get on even if I wanted to,
but this year I am going to leave my password unchanged.
The temptation will be good for me.
Every time I am tempted to log in, I will remember the reason I am doing this in the first place.

But for tonight, I am treating myself to a rather large bowl of java chip frappuccino ice cream and stalking innocent lives on facebook.

Anyone else giving up anything for Lent?
