observations from a nobody

I’ve been lacking posts here as of late. Life has been crazy and I have really only written up things on a Tumblr page I have. You can check it out here.

It’s that time of the year. School has returned for a sixth semester. This time it’s mostly book related crap that I’ll forget in probably three weeks. Time a little situation sit down and brief on this semester’s classes.

History – American History to 1877

First off, what is so important about 1877? I guess I’ll find out. Anyway, the class is seated in alphabetical order which is stupid because this is college, not elementary school. The professor has an annoying voice that drones during lectures. Today was the second day of class and we watched some boring late 80’s/early 90’s video about Columbus finding this wonderful land and how he fucked over the Native Americans. After that was notes that I slept through.

Math – Intermediate Algebra

I finally decided to give this class another try after god knows how long. The teacher is decent looking although she told us she can be a bitch. The book situation pisses me off and I had to pay more than $100 for a stupid code to use online to be able to do my homework. Stupid. It’s math, what do you expect it to be?

Psychology – Intro to Psychology

The professor is German which means she has the accent that all stereotypical therapists have. The one day I have had this class so far had me nodding off towards the end (I blame the lame Power Point presentation). This is the only class out of the others that has at least one person I know (not including photography because that is obvious that I know people). Seems like an interesting class though.

Photography – Creative Photography

I start this tomorrow and am excited. Shame it is only one day a week but it will give me time to do my projects during my hectic school/work schedule. WHOO!

That’s about it for now. I will TRY and actually get around to updating this more. Hopefully.

I can’t seem to escape the usual grind of daily life. Work is keeping me on a crazy schedule as usual. I haven’t been sleeping well and it shows. The boss has been not too happy with me, especially after this last weekend. Hopefully I can pull myself together in this next week and a half before school returns. We’ll see how that goes.

It is hard for me to remote believe that 2009 is just about over. Seems to have happened far too fast. As usual (if things go well) I will have my end of the year wrap up for the New Year. Quite a bit to talk about which should make it far better than last year’s lacker. Just need to sit down and type it out. Lately things have been hectic with work and just the holiday rush. I am ready for it to be over.

I do, however, look forward to the weekend.

Last few days have been pretty typical. Classes are starting to wrap up which means all the last minute work needs to get done. My digital photography class starts it’s presentations tomorrow. I have mine ready for display. I am hoping for a somewhat decent grade to top off the class (which should be fairly easy). The professional photography class ends on Saturday (after one last regular class on Thursday). Still working on the final for that class. Going super last minute with it which isn’t too good but there isn’t anything I can do to help that. The project I laid out is much harder than I thought it would be and the current weather is not helping as I try and finish it up. I am crossing my fingers.

English is still a bore. He is still throwing daily quizzes at us and then the final will be next Thursday. Supposedly in class essay on some secret topic. I am really hoping I pass that class, along with political science. As for political science, my group was supposed to present our semester project today but time ran out so we have to present (and shorten) our presentation for Wednesday. Should go smoothly. The final is a multiple choice test next Wednesday. I like those kind.

Not much else to talk about really. The only notable thing is that I have been playing Forza 3 (hence the title). Driving like an asshole pays off like it should. Other than that, nothing else is special in the land of me. All I can say is that I could use my paycheck. Three more days.
