  • Woah

    Haven't been here in a long time.

     

    I've been doing english major-y things, like scribbling furiously in notebooks, lately. I still don't know what i want to do with my life or anything, but I'm doing the english major thing for now. I'd like to teach. I want to encourage kids to be good at writing. I think its one of the most important skills in life.

     

    But for now, I try to keep up with homework and listen to ridiculous amounts of Blink 182. I wish I was one of those kids that knew how to get involved. I need to be more proactive. Oh well.

     

     

    Writing song lyrics? Haven't done that in a long time either.

  • Daises and peonies

    I'm frustrated again.

    It seems like every time I try to get any homework done lately, I struggle.

    I've always been a good reader. I've always been a good writer. I've written hundreds of five page essays. This is not a big deal. This is not a 30 page thesis. Yet it's taking me forever.

    It's probably because its a summer class. Who decides to take classes when they are on break from college? Summer is about sleeping late and hanging out with friends. This is dumb.

    It started before the summer though. I've grown so apathetic about school work. I can't concentrate on it. All I can think about is what music I want to be listening to. What web page I want to be surfing. Or what book I want to be reading. As soon as I sit down and pull my computer onto my lap, pull up the word processing document, my mind goes blank. The only think I can think about is what I'm going to wear to my friends wedding. I have to go online and see if ModCloth has a dress I like.

    I guess it would help if this paper wasn't about surveillance and data gathering. Why did I take a criminal justice class again? Oh yeah, because it's a gen ed.

    Blargh. I'm going to go make guacamole.
