On the subject of school...
Things are still going well. Like, suspiciously so. I understand everything so far (except long division -- fuck long division) and I've got one more homework assignment this weekend before the first test on Tuesday. I don't think I mentioned this before, but the teacher grades us on our tests and nothing else, so I want to be as prepared as possible on the material. The quarter ends in December, which gives me no room to slack off if I wanna pass and take on more classes in the future.
That reminds me, though. Waiting outside of class yesterday, one girl approached another and inquired about her wedding ring. I overheard one of them say that they were turning 23 in January and it floored me. I just. Cannot wrap my head around why anyone would want to be settled in their early 20s. It's a waste of your youth and rarely works out in the long-term. I guess there are special circumstances, like if your spouse was in the military, but I had civilian friends who got hitched before they were old enough to drink.
It really boggles me. You have so much life to live, plus you're old enough to live it without your parents interfering. Why in the world would you foil all those millions of possibilities by starting a family?
I know not everyone has the same priorities as me. For the record, I'm happy to be unattached and free to do my own thing. Although I wouldn't mind dating. ;|
On the subject of work...
Today was hellish arwharharwhar Just a lot of work shoved into 5 hours. I felt half-dead by the time I clocked out.
Oh, and! Remember the smelly new guy I talked about a few entries ago? I've started playing this game in my head where I try and think of as many disgusting things to compare his smell to, like a dirty ashtray somebody farted on or a shit cupcake. Even thinking about it makes me want to wretch.
This weekend's gonna be busy. I need to go shopping for my Halloween costume, and I'm thinking about creating a couple of NaNoWriMo resource posts for whoever is participating this year (comment if you are!).
Hrnnghh, so much to do and no idea where to start!
