Stream of Consciousness Blog: 2

April has come to an end and I'd figure that I should get one more post off before it officially turns into May (Pacific Time).  As of right now, I have been accepted into three colleges: Washington State University, University of Maryland, and Seattle University.  May 1st is the deadline for most of the colleges to confirm enrollment--however, University of Maryland and Seattle University is 30 days after receiving admissions.  This gives me some extra time on those two.  I just sent in my confirmation deposit to WSU as a safety since I'm still waiting to hear back from Georgia Tech, University of Washington, University of Michigan, Case Western, and University of Texas - Austin.  Either way, I just need to finish out this year and it doesn't really matter where I go next year.

I can't believe that it's already five weeks into the quarter.  This quarter has definitely gone by quickly.  The weekly schedule really does make the week go by much faster since my week gets easier as the day goes by and makes it much more bearable.  Hopefully I can finish out strong.

I have been contemplating getting a photography minor if possible when I transfer.  Civil Engineering just seems to be too much science for me.  I think I've burned out with science overload without ever advancing anywhere.  The science that I took in college so far has not been any different from the science that I took in high school.  It is kind of annoying.  I will just have to wait and find out how much I like pursuing science.  

This was the primary reason why I wanted to do architecture.  However, I guess it just wasn't meant to be for me.  I should have seen this coming a long time ago when nobody in my family was too enthused about me wanting to pursue architecture.  They didn't say it was bad or anything and would support my decision, but it was pretty obvious nobody really wanted me to do it.  They will deny it of course, but I can read people pretty well.  Now it just seems to be economically unsound to pursue architecture--doesn't seem worth it to spend another four years in school paying a lot of money and going into a field that has been completely decimated by the crumbled economy.

Maybe not being able to enjoy college will benefit me later on in life.

Stream of Consciousness Blog: 1

My friend, Mandy, gave me this idea to write a stream of consciousness blog because I couldn't really think of anything with enough substance to write about.  So I figured it would be an interesting approach for a blog entry by writing about things that have almost no substance whatsoever.  I will simply just write about what's going through my head even though some of it won't make any sense for 10 minutes straight.  I will probably be doing more of these in the future because I will have plenty more moments where I feel like blogging but can't really think of what to blog about.

My neck really hurts.  I'm afraid that it's probably more serious than I am leading myself to believe.  Maybe it'll go away and return back to normal.  I should probably get it checked out whenever I have an opportunity to do so.

The past few years have really sucked for me.  I often find myself to be unhappy deep down inside.  Disappointed and frustrated to the point of apathy.  Unfortunately, I am able to reason myself to not do anything stupid.  Sooner or later there will be a rebound.  Hopefully.  I can't wait for this year to be over.

Folding a thousand origami paper takes a lot of dedication.  I already lost count as to where I am, but I'm pretty sure that I'm not even over 300 cranes.  Already, I am way behind schedule that I have set up for myself, oh well.  I'll just have to fold cranes whenever I remember to do so and hope for the best.

I should probably shower after this.  I now remember why I stopped using gel for almost 5 years.  Nasty.

I'm happy that the Blazers finally made it back into the playoffs while having a very likable team.

Has the past few years of suckage helped me in any way?  Sure there are plenty of things that I have benefited from being where I am now--but I just can't see how it will make me a better person.  Bleh.

I am going to have a very hard time sleeping tonight with this stupid strained neck/upper back.  This giant canker sore on my gum isn't helping either.
