Work and School.
So school stars Monday. I'm taking six classes this semester. I think it's still going to be fairly easy; a lot of my classes are bullshit classes anyways.
1. US History 1887-Present
2.Spanish 1
3.Comm 2 (Literature)
4. Film Appreciation 1
5. Photography
6. Intermediate Algebra
So yeah; everything will be fine.
I'm fucking flying through BCC. As of this moment I have 22 credits, and I've only been there for Summer Term B of last year and this just past fall term. After this semester I'm going to have 41 credits which means that I'll only have 19 credits left until I have my AA. I plan on getting those last 19 credits in between Summer Term A and B. This means that I'll be out of this fucking town by this fall term! I'm starting to get excited; I really need out of this place. I have to start applying to colleges very soon. As of right now my three options are UF, UCF, and USF. I'm guaranteed entry to UCF so I'm not really worried too much. I'm positive that I'll be admitted into both USF and UF as well. I'm just unsure of what to do because I haven't visited any of the campuses. I think that I've decided to pursue my bachelor's degree in history; philosophy is a real passion of mine but I'm unsure if I can pursue it in a formal academic setting. It's something that I like doing at my own pace and will. After I get my bachelor's degree I plan on going to law school. UF seems to be the most probably candidate at the moment. However, if I manage to keep my grades up enough, and I can acquire enough financial aid, I would really like to get into UPENN or Columbia to pursue a joint J.D. and Ph.D in American Legal History. Let's take one step at a time though.
I'm been working a lot lately since I've have nothing better to do. It's fine. I don't dig my weekend shifts too much though. 10am-4pm is a bitch; I have six hour shifts. It's money though, and I need to save as much as I can before I leave here.
So, it's going on seven months and I'm still marijuana free. It's amazing. I love it. I never thought that I'd stop smoking. I literally built my schedule around it. I'm glad that I grew out of it; it was just something of my youth. It's time to move on though. Responsibility is here, and with great sacrifices come great rewards. I'm willing to sacrifice everything right now-- including my friends and social life-- to pursue an education.
This journal is becoming a bit of a useful tool for me; it's crazy to look at my past entries, to sift through the atrocious grammar and lack of regard for spelling of prose; to walk through that quagmire of unintelligible and incoherent stream of conscience; to be the spector of that drug-induced, alcohol-indulging, mind-numbing lack of thought. I have changed for the better. My mind was always there, but I have learned to sharpen my intellect. What was once a filthy piece of blackened coal is now a shining diamond, proudly radiating its knowledge and perspective. My discontent with peoples' behavior is the impetus; the classics of literature are my catalyst. My arduous toils are not in vain.
Books are cold but sure friends.
