Yes, well good things that have happened lately;
-I did well on my Spanish midterm (I was worrying about this)
-I did well on my fossil quiz today
-My schedule for next semester is set
-I got to see Papa ^_^
-I am done with physical therapy ^_^
There are two weeks left before Thanksgiving Break and an entire blessed week off. I don't have a ton of work to do before then and now, enough to keep me busy. I keep forgetting to take a step back and regain perspective on things.
Perspective that is very much needed. How is it that I keep forgetting about the good friends I have and instead focus on the ones who aren't so great? Why does there seem to be this mindset that in college everyone has to be miserable and focused on schoolwork?
It's very frustrating when you can look at someone and know almost exactly what they are going to say about any given question you ask.
How are you? Okay, tired/busy.
Oh, what have you been doing? Homework.
What's going on? Nothing much, too much work, see you later got to run over to the library and get some work done.
What are you doing this weekend? I don't know. I have a big exam/paper/assignment to do (that I've been putting off for weeks) it sucks. The class is awful don't ever take it.
How was class? Okay/Awful, she's such a bitch/so boring. She doesn't even know how to teach/she's senile/I don't feel like I'm learning anything.
How'd you do on the test/exam/assignment? Okay/Bad/I don't know. It was too hard/I didn't study enough/I don't care.
Argh. Why do people feel the need to be so unrelentingly negative?
Why can't schoolwork be a necessary and good part of life? Why can't being busy or tired be a good thing? It can be a good thing to truly throw yourself into something, sacrifice a few hours of sleep, forget to eat a meal or two, truly give your all for something that interests you. Believe me as a student of two geology classes, even the things you don't care about at all can become interesting given enough motivation.
