And So The Vacation Sunsets
Depressing isn't it? It's kinda how I'm feeling right now...with a dash of anxiety. Granted a lot of this could be because it's yet another first day back at school, because everyone gets nervous (I think). However, I get the feeling it's because I'm having to finally face my math classes. It's gonna be a different teacher, but I can't help the feeling that it's still gonna be lots of frustrating work. Next up is Western Civilization...fucking yawn. You can probably guess by now that I'm thinking deeper about my classes and that said classes were pretty much chosen by elimination-oriented force. Translation: I got all the good/fun classes out of the way first like a dipshit. I'm supposed to also be taking Chemistry, but CNM has once more attempted to fuck me out of a smooth transition back into school (as smooth as one can be had). Turns out the only way I can get the class is if I take the co-requisite of the lab, which would be fine except for the fact that the only lab I can take is closed. You'd think it was the fuckin' summer semester with how few sections there are for classes. This place, man...I fuckin' swear is gonna kill me if I don't get out soon. I'm pretty sure it goes without saying that I'm already looking forward to my next semester break. I just hope (against my common will) that this Chemistry bullshit gets figured out. I'm not trying to be at this for any longer than I have to be.
Switching the focus a little bit, I'm still kinda musing over my vacation, having been back for pretty much an entire week now. I've been getting plenty of "long time, no see" lines from people at work, as well as a few from karate. It's nice to see other familiar faces again, although I still do miss my friends. There's still a fairly real chance we could be moving back sometime in the future, but who's to really say when that would be. There are a lot of things up in the air really, so right now I'm just going to struggle to be grateful I'm employed and getting what I hope is a useful education. I still feel like General Studies really needs a purpose behind it to feel useful, but that's another "in the cards" thing. 2 more years of school - at a university no less - requires a hell of a lot of money, time, patience, and maybe even a change of address. Like I've said before though, at least we all know now I won't be a doctor or a lawyer.
Speaking of gainful employment, my job is still without much of a stable staff. We've got a store manager from a different store, which is alright. We've got a supervisor and an assistant store manager, but beyond that we've only got a few stable employees. Not like it's any big surprise WHY people leave retail. Ironic that I hate school and yet it's a necessity towards getting me a job I can tolerate and be dignified in doing. Actually, ya know what? That's not necessarily true. While I won't drop out because of this revelation, but it seems pretty much everyone I know who's gone to college has found something they remotely enjoy OUTSIDE of their degree (the only exception being Steve's girlfriend, who's a school teacher). It's an epiphany that both scares and intrigues me. I'd like to think that my education isn't becoming a waste. Chances are, this is more inner head rambling going on, so let's digress shall we?
So I found out the karate banquet (16th) is scheduled now, which equals utter fucking win. Really, this is the most awesome in one night to be had until probably Thanksgiving rolls around. I'll save the revelations on this because as the weeks draw us nearer to it, I'll likely talk more about it. I'll suffice to say that it's going to be mini cheesesteaks for my entree. Now I wonder if I can get anyone I know around here who doesn't often talk to me to wanna come. If not, I told Mikey he can go if he wants. Fun and awesome for all!
I think that's really it from me though. There isn't much else I can say about the passing week, except that it was the close to a vacation well earned...as will the next one be when I suffer through the next sixteen weeks. Don't worry though, I'll be sure to keep you all updated. On that note, I'm off until next week. Wish me luck with this one, people; I'm almost at the end. For all of you going through a similar situation, I feel your pain and reciprocate luck. For those finally out of college, run free!
