So, technically I should be studying for my upcoming finals, and for the most part I am. Kind of. I don't think I want to fail, in fact I'm quite sure that this is a bad thing.
In big people school I've noticed a few things about myself. Well actually I've begun to notice a lot of things about myself. Like I prefer hot chocolate to coffee, that I'm easily distracted which may be because I've got ADD in some form or another, or that the color red really does look nice on me. You know, the important stuff. Anyway, college is one of those "huge" changes in your life. Anyway, that's what all those people who make you pay hundred of bucks and up, while you sit across from them on a couch, say anyway. College is a growing experience, you try new things and thus experience new things. Sure, sounds good to me.
What have I discovered? Well let me tell you...
1) English is not my calling as I had once thought it was. In fact English is probably the last thing I should ever think of majoring in (and thankfully I'm not, because I originally thought that such a degree would inhibit by chance of having a career outside of education. But hey, I was right , except that I would never have a sound job period, because I suck in English). Could you imagine if I was a teacher?
Child: "Miss, what's a noun?"
Me: "A noun Bobby? Well, you see, I think -and don't quote me on this- a noun is a form of ummmm, you know?"
Child: "I don't understand miss. I don't know what a noun is or I wouldn't have asked."
Me: *darn the inquisitive minds of the young!* "Well Bobby, I think that maybe you should try and 'be a big boy now', and pick up the dictonary. Teacher's won't always be around to pick up after you, so take charge of yourself and be a man! Ok?"
Child (a.k.a bobby): *tearing up* "Miss, I'm only 7! *crying* How did they make you a teacher in the first place?"
Me: "Bobby i'll be honest, they were all high on crack. In fact I don't even have a degree, cause on my journey of discovery in college, i discovered that I'm rather slow. Ok, so that's a rap, you have five minutes to go play and stuff."
If this ever happens I think you (the parents out there) should take this as a sure sign that the world has TRULY come to an end. I will be a sad moment in history. However I'm pretty sure George Bush had a teacher like the one I would be, because, well it's pretty self-explanatory.
Anyway, so basically english is not my calling.
As well, I've noticed that just about everything is not my calling. So what am I even doing in College?
Well Chip, that's a good question. I honestly think I'm only wasting a couple grand a semester because being here makes me feel like I may actually accomplish something and you know, take responsibilty for my life. Take charge so to speak. So that I can prove that I'm not dumb, and that yes, in fact I am the genius I always thought I was.
So I have a little problem with "punctuation" but so what? at least I'm sort of getting the whole math thing, and hey that say's a lot about something. What that something is? Well, I'm not sure, that probably all this time when I thought my talents really derived from my artistc corner of the brain, really, were just a figmant of my imagination (and trust me, i have an imagination like no other) and that I may be a math person! However, that isn't the case either.
So if I don't rock the english world, and I'don't rock the math world, what world do I rock? I rock....your world, you know I do? Joking. Seriously though, I may just have to accept defeat and be an ordinary jewel. Kidding! The difference after all between ordinary and extraordinary is the extra (I can hear all the parent's whooping at this cliche), so I'll search deep inside and I'll try to recover my wonderful intellect.
Or, I could just apply myself a little more, that may work. Like maybe I should stop confusing people with this excuse for an update and instead turn off my computer and take out my math book, and actually study.

I think I've discovered the answer. I think, that this discovery is so profound that one of these days (when I discover my intellect again, that is) I might even get a smart person prize, like the noble peace prize?
What's that?
Oh, this discovery of mine has been in circulation for centuries? Wow, I really am a genius.

I have 3 questions for you:
1) Who the hell is Chip?
2) Do you like your new layout?
3) Why did you buy me such an expensive gift? My jaw dropped to the floor when i saw it. You are too generous. Thank you so much dear Miniji, but you really shouldn't have.
Jazakallah Khair.
I have an idea in my head about a gift i want to make you. Yes, MAKE.
Finally, you'll do well in school if you pull tightly on your trouser's drawstrings and stop talking to Chip.
Love thee :*
P.S. You need to put your counter code in your template, to keep track of your stalkers.
