So as you have probably already noticed, I stopped posting as frequently once I moved to Buenos Aires. This is not a coincidence. When I lived in Maryland, I had plenty of free time and wanted to write. Now, I have less free time and want to explore the city. I do not think this is a bad thing, just something I need to think about so I can reset my goals for this blog.
Based on my first 3 weeks here, I do not think that it is realistic to expect myself to blog every single day. So, after looking at my final schedule (yes, it took 2 weeks to set my schedule of classes), I have decided that my goals will be to post at least 2-3 times a week. I will post something new on Tuesdays, Fridays, and possibly again during the weekends. It is very likely that the weekend posts will just be a series of pictures during the week I took with descriptive captions.
I spend the majority of my time in my room on the computer using Facebook and email to keep in touch with people and make plans. Yet, I don't really think about creating posts. I spend a lot of time out of time out of the apartment, without my laptop. There is no need to take it to class and I do not want to carry and extra 5 lbs. during my 20 minute walk to school. So when I finally get back to my room, I just want to relax.
Also, I have been internalizing a lot of my thoughts lately. Either I talk about them with my parents or friends, or I try to think them out. And so, they become resolved before I open blogger.

Why has blogging been such a trial lately?

Resolutions?
Like everything else in life, I believe need to make time to blog regularly, and plan my posts beforehand. Sticking to the posting schedule I made will be the most important thing for me to do.
