Welp...School and everything has been great so far. Crissy and I have our own place and go to school together. We go to the university at Roswell you know where all the aliens supposedly landed. Then didn't actually crash there but 30 miles away. The main part of town is decorated all with alien related stuff. The town is just trying to make a profit I believe.
I am taking five classes. Those would be philosophy which probably my favorite right now, psychology which it is quite fascinating but hard to really get into it, English which is and always will be a drag, college math which it pretty easy for the most part, and freshman seminar which is my worst class. I hate freshman seminar. It is so dull but you are required to take it. I'm glad I took that class online because I don't really be wanting to spend even a hour in a class like that. I have a portfolio due on Tuesday and I'm suppose to be working on it now but uh...I like to procrastinate. My math is pretty simple. I guess that precal class paid off. I take my math here in Artesia where I live at the high school. I find psychology to be very informative. Did you know the creal Grape Nuts was actually a dog food? Did you know children nowadays are being born without consciences? These kids don't feel any guilt or emotion for that matter. Kind of scary. Did you know 60 % of people will blindly obey some one and hurt another? I really enojy psychology. It mixes science with behavior. My teacher gives great lectures as well. He tends to use examples of every day life to help us understand. Some of these examples are very insightful. Then there is English. My Englsih class is your typical English class. Run on sentences, reading short stories and giving responses etc. I talk to maybe one or two people in that class. That is the only class I really talk to any body in since we do group and stuff. I guess I don't really make an effort but I'm here to learn not make friends. If I do along the way then that is fine. I am usually with Crissy any ways so I really don't find the need to communicate with any one else. There is this one black guy though. It seems to be older. I don't know how old but we converse every so often. We started talking after he saw me kissing Crissy. He calls the smooth romantic.
Any ways then there is philosophy. I really enjoy that class. Crissy and I have that class together. I think I have so far learned the most in that class. Now that I think about it...I can recall the days me and the Croydon crew would discuss such topics as where we came from and those sorts of things. I remember one of those discussion in particular. There we were at 7 11 on the side of the building just standing there talking about what the point in life was and so on. I am pretty sure it was me, Mike, Eric, and Nick. I don't remember the exact details but that event just pops into my head for some reason. When you think of philosophy just remember this,"The unexamined life ain't worth living."
Man...I'm starting to get tired. Fuck it...I haven't wrote in this thing for a while. I will get that project done later. Ha...Halloween is coming up! i can't wait! That is my favorite holiday. Many people say that but I really mean it. I try to go all out most of the time. This year I am going to be the joker and Crissy is going to be Harley (the Joker's woman). We are already getting ready. I also like the history behind halloween. On the Celtic calendar, Halloween was the last day of the month where supposedly all the tormented souls would come out just for that night. I basically know all the stories and histroy about Halloween. I know how Jack got his latern. The devil threw him some hot coals and he put in a turnip. If you hear a banshee scream 3 night in a row, you will be dead the next morning. Of course there is more. For Halloween Crissy and I plan on going to this Halloween dance and this kickass resturant. They really decorate it good. Then we will have a party at our place. I'm excited! I kind of wonder what Halloween will be like this year in Croydon. Kids seem to slim last year. We hardly got any kids knocking at Nick's. Oh well...
In some way, I kind of miss Croydon. It is so much different here. I miss the autumns in Croydon and the grass. Heh...I miss some of my friends that I knew all through grade school and high school. It is all good though. I'm meeting some new people here and hanging out with them. Not to seem conceded but I do have to say I'm quite proud of myself. I have the girl of my dreams, my own apartment not some small dorm, transportation, getting a college education, and living it up with the freedom I have. We have our own phone and internet. We both have our own car. We manage to pay the bills on time. I think that is pretty good for two 18 year olds. I knew people who were in there twenties and still lived at home.
Now I would like to try an experiment so just go with me. If any one still reads my journal please answer these questions if you don't mind.
Who are you?
Who am I?
Are you an honest person?
Do you think it is ok to lie?
What does the word love mean to you?
How do you feel about the major things happening in your life?
give a brief description of yourself
give a brief description of how you portray yourself
and finally.....What really is your favorite color?
Welp it is about 10:15 here. I think I should start my project soon. Welp it is how the ummm Druids of East Turkey use to say...I'll eat your face if you don't bust a move. Happy trails to all and to all a hope you die in your sleep. Amen!
