| I made a total of 14 posts on Xanga last year. So much has happened in my life since my last post here. Pretty weird to come back.

| School is kicking my butt right now. Seriously -- The only way I'm going to get all of the work done I have to do for next week is to just completely cut myself off from the world for about 5 days. Something that, for me, nearly impossible to do.
Here's a rundown of what I have to do this week:
- Write a 15 page paper for Geography (WTF!) by Wednesday
- Complete a study guide before class on monday.
- Finish doing a ton of online spanish homework by tomorrow at midnight.
- Video Editing assignment due Wednesday.
- Spanish Test on Tuesday
- Geography map test on Thursday
- Geology Test covering 4 chapters on Friday
I've got all of that on top of a ton of extra curricular stuff that I have going on like the new Sports Lounge TV show that is having meetings this week and whatnot, not to mention some assignments in TV production that are due throughout the week.
I'll take my Thanksgiving break now, thank you....

| I wasn't lying in the previous post or just quoting a song lyric from a very large and vocally gifted black man.
I really seriously am losing my mind!
Today has been awesome/wierd/crappy all rolled up into one. Definetly one of my stranger days.

Gnarls Barkley is a genius. That's all I have to say about that.
Fall break was this past weekend, and I'd be lying if I said I didn't enjoy the downtime. Monday and Tuesday were wide open. I'll tell you, after nearly two solid weeks of quizzes and tests it was a welcome reprieve. That left us with a three day week - and I completely misjudged it: two quizzes and two tests packed into three days. Welcome to my life this semester. I'm more than steamed at this point. I should've paid a little more attention to the type of classes I was signing up for this semester. You see, I'm an artful person. Art makes sense to me. Science is not my forte' I've just never liked the vibe I get while in a science class: The classroom full of empty glasses waiting to be filled with the instructor's infinite knowledge of the world... yeah right. It's about the same feeling I get while sitting in a pew on Sunday. I've decided I'm going to give myself a break after this semester and take 12 hours of some classes that I know I will enjoy.
I remember when.
I remember. I remember when I lost my mind.

| Learning about what composes rocks and what it takes to break them down is less interesting than watching grass grow.
Note to new college students: If your advisor gives you the line: "I've signed you up for 'Intro to Earth Sciences' (Geology) because it's "rocks for jocks" and "it's an easy A," don't listen to them. It may have been an easy class when he/she took it; but ever since the class gained the negative connotation on its educational value, the professors who teach it have done everything in their power to make the class more difficult (or 'educationally significant' as the prof's put it). They've even changed the name, what used to be "Geology" is now a very vague "Intro to Earth Sciences."
Looks like I've been fooled for this semester, but I'll research a little more for next semester as far was what my advisor "reccomends." If I wanted to take a glorified chemistry-slash-eighth-grade-science-class, I would have done so in high school while I wasn't paying $4k a semester to deal with this crap.
Geology/Geologists, you are officially on notice.
