Prescott College and my life in general

Apr 06, 2008 00:26

I haven't posted in a while, and I figured someone might want to know how my life is going in general. I'm also kind of drunk, and everyone knows how much I like to post when I'm in that certain state of mind.

So, Prescott College is awesome. My classes are going really well, and I've never been more motivated to actually accomplish anything in my entire life. My bad habit of procrastination is still there, but not to the point where I'm rushing to get things done. I'm much happier than I was in GE, probably due to the fact that I'm pursuing something that means something to me. I've made some good friends, yet I feel like I should be putting myself out there more often, maybe it's something that will take more than one semester to get. The abode where I reside is really nice, yet it's really far from campus (6 miles) so I'm not really motivated to make it into town 'lest it's for a class. I think next year I'll have to sacrifice living comfort for location so I can just go and hang out with people without making a commitment of staying for an extended period of time. In the field of women and relationships in general, I feel like I could be doing better, yet I think that is something else that comes with time. I'm less angry than I was in GE, I was getting to the point where everything was pissing me off, and that really isn't me. I think it was just the situations of boredom that just drove me to feel something than just existence. I'm drinking a lot less, like a lot less. I think I get wastey faced like once a month, as opposed to every day.

Again, classes are awesome. Two weeks from now I'm going on a white water rafting trip through the Colorado, and parts of the Grand Canyon. I'm learning more than I've ever thought possible, and it doesn't feel like learning. I'm now obsessed with maps and navigation in general, I love to figure out exactly where I am at any given point and time. My interpersonal communication class is hit or miss, it's usually a place for people to vent about their problems, and some of the kids in the class are taking that to a ridiculous extent. If you need to talk to the teacher (in front of the entire class) about something that takes more than 15 minutes to explain, I think you should probably save the money for tuition, and get a therapist.

I've also been planning a trip to New Zealand for my graduation present to me. Its two years ahead of where I am right now, but it feels good to get excited for such an amazing adventure. My plan right now is after graduation, I'm going to take 6 months off, and hike the entirety of New Zealand. Currently the plan is to trek the tip of the north island to the bottom of the south. It's going to be expensive, but when I get home for the summer, I'm going to open a bank account where I put $50 to $100 of every paycheck into it. That will make this trip a reality for me, and up my motivation to graduate that much more.

With all that said, I'm excited to get back home and hang out with the ones I care about. This will probably be my last summer in GE, which is sad, but that much more motivation to make every day count. Meaning: camping trips, hanging out, and just having fun as much as possible.

So, yeah, if you were worried about me, worry no more. I think my life is finally back on track (if it was ever on track).
