The Swirling Vortex of Entropy of My Life
I apologizing for being a rather lame-sauce friend and not really updating much lately. Every day seems to go by rather quickly. Anyway...here's a brief update:
Today I had to drop my sociology class. : ( Which is sad because I really liked that class, but I just have too much on my plate and that class requires busy work (along with 2-3 of my other classes) and I just have a hard time keeping up with weekly assignment. So sad days. It was a rather large step for me because subconsciously, my brain tells me that dropping a class is equivalent to failure and defeat. The schedule I aspired for was too big for me. I couldn't do. But I remembered last fall when I tried a schedule that was too big for me...didn't turn out too well. So I dropped it and felt much less stressed. : D And an even bigger plus: I was taking the class to fulfill a G.E., right? Well, I found out today that when I officially change my majors around and such (make political science my secondary major), my international politics actually covers the requirement I was fulfilling with the Sociology class (primary major courses can't count for GE, but secondary major ones can!). SO, I'm not even behind a bit from dropping the class. I, in essence, just dropped a class I frankly didn't need. Awesome. I still get to maintain my hopeful acadmenic plan.
A final observation: I find it humorous the way everyday objects change meaning depending on circumstances. Yesterday a banana was a delicious fruit and snack to eat when I was hungry. Today the banana transformed into a utensil with which I get to eat Nutella. The flavor and integrity of the banana meant nothing; only its utility in helping my consume my Nutella in a socially acceptable manner mattered.
And now I must go marinade the chicken for dinner tomorrow night with Ellen. =D
