I have gotten into the trend of lying down at 10 pm with the full intention of waking up five or ten minutes after a quick little rest; yet, what invariably ends up happening is I finally get out of bed to find it is about 12 or 1 am. If that isn't depressing enough, it's usually to the discovery that I also need to still A)study or, worse, B)write a paper that is due tomorrow. Fortunately, tonight, it's onlya quick study for a psych exam tomorrow. Needless to say, facebook has become a constant and steadfast companion these days. With that also the revelation that most of my friends (well, more friends from long ago than "now" friends) are quite obsessed with having children/raising children.
It is beyond me how so many (I am fairly sure all female) people I know that have lives consumed with the idea of children. More often than not, it seemes like the idea comes about after a failed attempt at college. It's such a mystery to me. Why does this happen? I know that (for the cases I'm referring to) the people in question went to college with seemingly firm intentions of their individual plans but then couldn't quite cut it in some classes. The statuses range from living off-campus to living outside of Murray. After thier first year of college, some tried community college and some "took a break" (you know the story with "breaks"). It isn't as if there's a clear pattern. It just seems that, after some college, they have more time on thier hands and meet people... and then children inevitably become a real focus.
I just don't get it.
Cheers.
