Winding Down
I've been staring at my computer screen for a total of 3 hours now. I'm still in the vacation mood and today was the first day of class. It didn't go as well as I had hoped since I wasn't able to add an art class that I wanted. Oh well, just wasn't meant to be I guess.
I attended this drafting class I had enrolled in thinking it was gonna be an intro class that's a piece of cake. Pssh. It turned out to be more like a huge 3 tier cake and a lot of work. I have a project due next week where I have to map out a section of a staircase and everything around it to scale and I don't have any of my drafting supplies. I felt kinda dumb for not bringing any drafting supplies with me when I knew I had them back home sitting and gathering dust/skin cells in my drawers.
I didn't pay much attention in my drafting class today since I had this plan of dropping it. I told my mom that I might be taking only 8 unit this quarter due to the fact that I didn't get a class that I had hoped for and I may have to drop another class due to time conflicts. She then gave me this huge lecture about how the economy sucks and how I should take this drafting class to improve my chances of being hired. I then told my mom that I don't have an architecture degree and one class really isn't going to boost my chances of being hired at an architecture firm. She then told me I had to keep the class. Damn. Well if worse comes to worse, I can always p/np it. Thanks, Rose, for the reminder. lol
During the beginning of each quarter I always become a bit sad and depressed due to the fact that school's starting and I really don't think I have much to look forward to. It's been particular bad this year since it's my senior year and I get scared about the future and look back at all of the things that I should have done, but didn't. I wasn't planning on going to grad school after getting my undergraduate degree but seeing as how Bush totally fucked up our economy, I think grad school, or some sort of professional school where can learn and develop more marketable skills (like for IT or something) would be the best route. Maybe I'll do some low paying/low end job just to get my foot through the door and work my way up. Man, I'd be lucky to earn 20 bucks an hour right out of college.
I guess the only thing to do right now is to keep myself busy. I should hang out more with friends to take my mind off of school, just for now since it's the first couple weeks and all. I really want to go back home, and a car would be nice so that I can travel back home whenever I want and not have to rely on people. I told my mom that I wanted a car for graduation. I personally don't think it's gonna happen, but I just thought I'd put it out there. heh.
