observations from a nobody

As much as I try to keep everything up to date it becomes harder and harder. Things seem to get in the way. Lately life has been busy (as usual). Work and school tear apart my weeks. Days are mere hours long. I can’t believe it is March already. I hope things begin to mellow out. There are many things I want to go out and do but no time to do them unfortunately.

School is doing okay for the most part. History is still boring as hell. Math is math. Psychology is hit and miss, especially since I am prone to dozing off now and then. The only entertaining class is my creative photography class which always brings something new to the table. It’s my most looked forward to class of the week. Still sad it is only one day a week though.

As for work, well it has been hectic as of late. Had a few weeks of epic shifts and now things are finally starting to calm down but with call-ins and crazy photo sales it still spikes now and then. I just try and stay positive but even that is testing me.

We’ll see if I can update this thing on a timely basis.

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.

The last week and a half have been beating me down. Most of it was due to coming down with the flu. Hit me last Friday and held me in its awful grip for most of the week. I managed to hold the fort and take some photographs at the nearby creek for an assignment. It was risky as I was running a pretty good fever and burning up while trying to stay warm with the chills. Not something I’m likely to do again. Being sick has caused me to miss some class and work but hopefully by this coming weekend everything will be good. At least that is what my oh-so-not-helpful doctor said.

As far as other things are concerned life has been treating me fairly typical aside from a few things. Life loves to throw me curve balls and all I can to is keep taking them to the face, leaving me dazed and confused as to where to go. Kind of a depressing thought. It also doesn’t help when after hearing news of something not too great that sad music comes on next during a shuffle of your music library. Thanks Zune, that really was oh-so-helpful.

I figured this time would come. Both of my photography classes are having me do holiday assignments for Thanksgiving and Christmas. Obviously the calendar has become stale and we moved the holidays to October. Oh well, now I get to figure out how to incorporate these holidays in to my photos without houses dressed up for them. Yeah. One of the assignments is a Christmas type postcard. I have a few ideas but I doubt anyone will want to go through with it for me (well maybe). Not to worry though as I have a backup idea or two. Then I get to think of my final projects and another assignment that deals with skyscrapers, something I have to drive 30-50 minutes each way to see. Stupid small cities.

It seems as if the year is flying by even faster. Is it really halfway through October? This is a problem for school considering projects will be due soon and I haven’t even put one bit of thought into them. I also get to deal with various other types of crazy shit. Work is gearing up for the holidays and soon the rush of parents buying presents will degrade my morals and cause me to hate customers even more. Happens every year. Hopefully I can maintain my cool (or at least fake it). We’ll see.
