I scheduled my classes today for St. Joes. I have five classes...short story, freshman sem, art of thinking, american gov & pol, and speech communication. I'm not too excited...at all. When it comes down to it...I really don't want to go to college. I've had enough of listening to teachers talk about useless information that will never truly have an impact on me. Don't get me wrong, there may have been three classes throughout high school that I really got something meaningful out of...but otherwise..it's all the same. The same tedious jargon repeated over and over again. The same students that do none of the work, yet somehow manage the same or even a better grade. I know that college is a must if you want to become something successful in this world, but at times I really don't understand how it evens out in the end. I truly don't. Maybe I'm judging college a little too early, maybe it'll be different...maybe it wont. Time will tell.
On another note...A Brave New World is the last main focus for College English until graduation. Unlike 85% of the class, I'm actually reading it. It was pretty dull at first, but with time I realized it wasn't that horrid...it does make you think though. A world- a "perfect" world...where everyone is the same, making the same impact, living the same way. As much as people see it to be so contrasting to this existing world, I find it disturbingly similar. For the most part...everyone is brought up in a similar fashion...childhood, elementary school, middle school, high school, (maybe some sports, dance, or other activities on the side), part-time job, hit up college, find a career, get married, pop a few kids out, grow old, and die. I hate when I think like this, but I can't control my thoughts. It's a horrible outlook on life...trust me, I know that much. But I can't help thinking that there's more to life, somewhere. There has to be...
