All Day Everyday, Veterans Day

To be honest, I just felt like adding a "veterans day" image, and so i googled for one and this is what showed up. For the past 6 weeks I have been spending 11 hour days of non-stop work 8 days of the week. I have never been so busy in my life, still considering I am only 18 going 19. And although it seems like I have bitten off more than i can chew for fall quarter, I have been sucking up to it and getting through everyday even though it seems as if I die a bit inside everyday. I have gotten use to things being so hectic; school, studying, work, rugby, fall pledging, and spending time with my family on the weekends. Keeping these things under your thumb is a bit of a heavy task, but I am sure it will be rewarding in the end, and that I will look back at this and know that I can get through life being bombarded by commitments and activities. Theres little room to breathe during the week. When I wake up everything is automatic, going to school, work, practice, meetings, and it seems like i actually come back to life when it is all done, but by then I am ready for bed.
But getting through these weeks aren't done by only myself. I have several heroes to thank for showing that life isn't all that bad. First my roommates, John and Sam, I am pretty glad that we have a get a long very well, and enjoy each others presence. Its great to come back to such lively roommates, especially that it seems like other rooms are filled with such dull people, due to the fact I have never seen their door open. Then theres the beautiful television in our room, twas week 5 that the television came into place. Instead of the incredibly loud silence, the three of us can settle watching Seinfeld, or Friends. The television lifted stress from all of us and falling asleep with it on has been a huge help. Also, the motherfucking badass pvk friends of mine. Its great that we have been hanging out mostly everyweekend. Those people are my foundation and I know I can always fall back on them, and that I am always there for them. I would not care if it was just playing Wii at Jeromes, as long as Im spending time with them, its a good time. I never want to lose these guys as friends ever because I owe them a lot from keeping me alive and well. Lastly is my ridiculous family, crazy as they are it feels good every weekend to see them. My crazy brother who is constantly buying new stuff to amuse himself, My little sister who is finally realizing the joys of alcohol, and my big sister who is often just a fake straight up bitch most times, but someone has to.
It is great to have this day off from school, because now there is actual time to breathe and just sleep in and marinate in freedom. No worries. No stress. No shit. What a good day

Oh Midterms, Please Have Mercy on Us

So for the past few weeks have been midterms for everyone at school. And for all first years, including myself, this is our first time ever taking midterms. I would like to think of it as a pre-final, keeping the mind working throughout the quarter. After learning how much one should study for an exam, after completely failing my chemistry quiz, I put a lot of work into my math and jazz midterms and it absolutely paid off since i walked out confidently of both classes. Tomorrow is my "shitty" chemistry midterm, and i have been studying for it, but i have discovered the lack of interest i have for chemistry altogether. No doubt that my chemistry class is the hardest class i am in enrolled in, but it is also the most boring class too. The structure and form of the class itself is also pretty bothersome. During lectures, I can understand the material, but when it comes to homework problems, the lecture is no help at all. And the tests and exams are so general, theres not much focus on what you really need emphasis on, except that "tests will be on ch.1 to ch. 3." Yeah, sounds pretty broad to me.
My disinterest in chemistry has lead me to seek out new majors that could be interesting to me. I have gone through the list of majors, and looked at a few of them and their perquisites. Came upon Business Economy, International Development Studies, Sociology, Communication Studies, and Psychology. After much thinking i have narrowed it down to Psychology. I have come to a point where maybe Physiological Science isn't the major for me. And honestly i couldn't even explain to you what that major is about in detail. I still have aspirations to become a sports trainer, dietitian, or nutritional counselor. And fuck it yeah even to be a professional athlete. But who knows, I am still a first year trying to get use of this college atmosphere and this leisure-free schedule i have. I honestly have no clue what i really want to do and learn at school, but i am opening myself up try different classes. Even though i have been constantly told that trying a new major is "giving up" in the degree of a science major, I would still want to try to see if theres more than just "doing what everyone else wants to do" (and here everyone wants to be a fucking doctor). What i know now is that i dont want to be taking classes (piece of shit chemistry) for 2 years and all of a sudden have a change of heart, and do not want to be that major and be aggravated about how i took 2 years of a class that i dont need anymore. My goal is to try this psychology class out and see what i get out of it. I have talked to many intended psychology majors, and heard a lot of good things. And if it doesnt, well oh well, at least i didnt waste 2 years of classes to figure it out.
