So now that week one of college is dead and gone I guess I should post a small update about how its going and my thoughts on this semester so far. Not so oddly for those who have gotten to know me but I can summarize the semester thus far in 1 word. Suck. There is nothing I dread more than SBU. I cannot wait to be gone from this place forever. Like so many times I was talking to James earlier and school came up. This time he brought it up by telling me he is looking at changing to yet another school. He showed me the online brochure and after I looked over it I asked him to let me know how things look after he gets some more information on the school. Well anyways so thats the spill on that. If its good enough news and depending on cost and all that I could very well finally get the heck out of Dodge.
Well anyways so. Week one is over and it sucks so far. I have two classes I can remotely enjoy and everything else is just annoying me and making me wonder why I haven't just dropped out and said screw it to my parents about this college crap. Like right now instead of writing this blog I should be trying to read 2 chapters from a book for a class I have tomorrow night. I probably won't get that done. I've come to the realization that I am also incapable of caring about the fact that I will ultimately fail the class if I don't do the readings and such.. I guess thats the thing about being unhappy. You give up caring, or perhaps its that you care in a different way. Well anyways since I'm sure your asking yourself what classes do you care about.. the answer is my philosophy class, the problem of evil, and my spiritual form class. Everything else about this semester blows.
So here's where I guess you could say things get interesting. I cannot motivate myself to do something I hate, i.e. reading for some gay class that doesn't matter to my future. Before anyone gives me some crappy speech about oh history will matter in your future, tell me how often does it matter in the real world if you can name the presidents? If someone can come up with a scenario when I will ever need to know that history crap, or how to design a work out plan I won't follow anyways are going to matter to me, the religion major, I will gladly change my perspective. As you can clearly see I have some issue with either authority or at least with the current system set up to deam what is important for college students to know in the "real" world. There is no deeper meaning behind any of this. Honestly I just needed to ramble a little and let some steam off.. and I figured why not use my blog. I hadn't posted in awhile and really I should let everyone know how I feel about school after 1 week.
