Tales of the Restless

I just started working again, which is cool, but I still feel bored, like I need some goal or something. As Ghia suggested, I might try fishing or weight lifting or something. Fishing would be easy enough (I live 5 minutes from the beach!), and could walk home with something different for dinner, and weightlifting would also be good for my health. I'd love to do something artistic or musical, I mean it would make me feel great being able to express myself like that, but I don't have any of the equipment, nor the manual dexterity, especially with art, I can't even draw a stick figure. Oh, and Wendy's fries rock, apparently.

God, this whole education thing has been battering me left and right. I"m not getting anything in calculus, which is a shame cuase I like this teacher better than last year, I can't seem to set myself aside anytime for Japanese, two tests of which recently I've gotten like a 50 on, and I have bad feeling about Wednesday's Chem midterm. Math aside, my biggest problem is taht I get too easily distracted. Last ngiht, I was planning on doing homeowrk early, finishing by ten, so i'd have time to study a bit of Japanese. I didn't even start Japanese, let alone study it, until 5:45 am, as I spent most of the night reading wikipedia. It's not just sad, it's scary.

I mean, I want to learn, I just can't focus on it enough to actually get crap done till i feel the weight of the last minute, which, in this stage of the game, is much too late.
It's not helping that I"ve been doubtful about my future either. thinking about all of the courses I am interested in, and could major in, like history, international studies maybe even journalism, I feel that I wouldn't be able to get a job I'd enjoy; I mean, what does a historian do, lecture all the time? Creative writing stuff, while fun, is hardly something to bank on, and writing anything is hard to get a profit from. Maybe something like ineternational relations, I could be some type of translator, negotiator, or something, but those jobds aren't just handed out, if you knmow what I mean.

Science is great for me cause things depend on facts, not anylzing tons obscure texts and trying to make creative opinions. That's what gets me about this: I always loved science, and got good grades, and now all this stuff is kicking my ass. It's horribly demoralizing, it seems almost inevitable that my life's just going to be blah, and its worse knowing that I can see it from here, and that I'll probably do nothing about it.

Appears that after all these years, I've finally made it to college. My room has a wonderful view, especially since it directly faces the sunrise, my roommate's pretty cool, and we've had great weather recently, so I'm in a pretty good mood, I guess. Although it was a hassle hooking up my computer to the SB network, as I first had to buy a special RJ11-RJ45 cable, which apparently everyone else did, as there was a fifteen minute line, and it took me half an hour to register my computer on their internet, which was a problem, seeing has all of their instructions were only for Windows with Internet Explorer, and I'm the oddball running Linux with Opera.

The rest of my summer was rather enjoyable, the highlight of which the weekend trip to Boston Ghia and I went on. We got to hang out with Jen and Jill, whom I haven't seen in years, and go to a drag racing show thingy. It was also fun getting to play DDR, something I've been unable to, simply because the machines at Sports Plus have fallen into disrepair. The next day, Ghia and I took a train into Boston in order to find something to do. Trying to find quincy market, we took the subway to the wrong place, and wondered around for a bit. Of course, we missed the rain back to Jen's house by five minutes, so we got to hang out in the city for another three hours, until the next train back arrived. After walking around a bit on foot, we found the place we were looking for all along, about five minutes away, on foot, from the train station. We did a bit of shopping, watched some street performers, including this awesome group of hip-hop dancers. Because of our missing the train, we couldn't take the ferry back, and had to instead make a 5 hour drive home in the middle of the night. Somehow, this was surprisingly easy and enjoyable. I was full of energy, and I never got bored, but I'm sure that's simply because I had Ghia next to me the whole time.

I haven't actually started any classes yet, we still have two more days of introductory event things, which I conclude are simply events to make us happy before we have to actually start doing work. They had a couple of BBQ things, but the lines were horrendously long.Yesterday night they had a cool dance party, but I'm not much of a dancer, so I stuck to the game room, where they had plenty of board games out.

Well , I'm going out right now to get some breakfast. see ya later.
