So, due to a situation beyond my control, I am awake at 5 am. I don't really know how much longer I will be awake but I expect that it will be awhile and I'm okay with that. I've got nothing to do but sleep tomorrow, anyway. My life may not really need a LiveJournal entry right now, but I guess I always feel like that. And can it really hurt? I mean, what else is 5 am for?
So, life right now is pretty okay. One might go out on a limb and say that it is "great" and while there are certain aspects of life which may not be so great, that statement would not be untrue. First, I shall speak of school. School is probably the aspect which is definitely not very great. It is no secret that I have never really been much of a fan of school, and this semester really is no different. It's been in session for about two weeks now and things are pretty meh. I have a journalism class this semester, which is the first on the step to the major I'm presently pursuing which seems sort of sad as this is my third year. I pretty much hate the class. I don't really fancy the teacher as he is a bit of a douche and just being inside his classroom terrifies me. It's mostly an anxiety issue but that's that. Also, I don't really like journalism. I love to write. Love it. But I just can't stand the style of writing which is going to be forced upon me if I want to become a journalist. While I know that there is probably some journalism out there that allows you to be creative and write in ways which do not suck, I think the odds are a little unlikely. I don't want to major in journalism but I'm not sure what else I can do. English also appeals to me but what is there to do with an English major that doesn't involve teaching? I'm sure these are answers I could find if I just sought the help of an academic advisor, but alas, that also fills me with a sense of dread. I don't know why.
My other classes are less terrifying but both relatively boring. Health is health. Sometimes I'm interested in it, but any interest I have is basically hindered by the people in the class whose maturity level has not advanced beyond 5th grade. When the teacher has to stop every five minutes to explain the difference between genitals and congenital, things get annoying. And History of the Middle East is just....bizarre. The teacher seems like a really cool guy but I don't think he grasps the whole "teaching" concept. I never have any idea what the fuck he is talking about and things are so random and out of order that it's nearly impossible to take notes or pay attention. Rate My Professors says that this is pretty normal and that the test is basically going to be word for word from a review sheet he gives us but that doesn't make it any easier to sit through. Turner is in the class with me, as well as my sister, and her friend Andrea. Neither of them suck that much.
So, work is better than school, but isn't that always the case? Borders is fun. Everyone I work with seems genuinely cool and it's mostly just a positive work environment. Cashiering is pretty boring, but they're going to start training me to be a book seller on Thursday. I don't know what else I can say about it. It's way better to work there than it was to work at Farmer Jack. Speaking of which, things just got worse after I left. 11 more stores are closing and they have to take another pay cut which they won't get back for more than a year. I feel bad for everyone there, but at least I'm gone. As depressed as it made me to have to leave, things really did just get better.
And other than work and school there is a certain girl I happen to be dating or something that just seems to make everything ever so great. Normally I am opposed to saying nice things about people because who really wants to read nice things? If I were reading someone's journal and they were like "I love my girlfriend. She's rad to the max" I would probably stop reading right then and there. But I guess that doesn't matter because I finally have a girlfriend who makes me want to write things about her being rad to the max. Things have been going so well lately and it's almost hard for me to describe just how great they have been. With work and school, we don't get to see each other nearly as much as we should, but when we do, it's amazing. We've had quite a series of dates in the past few weeks and I honestly think they've been just about as much fun as I've ever had in my life.
Yesterday. Oh my. Yesterday. Looking back it might not even be much to write about. We laid around all day being lazy and cute. I brought her presents which she had no idea she was getting and making other people happy is fun. Eventually it was time for dinner where we munched on yummy food at Mongolian. Then we headed to Royal Oak to see The Baxter which was amazing. It wasn't as ridiculous as Wet Hot American Summer, but definitely had the same kind of humor. Like, if you laugh hysterically at things that are so unfunny that they are funny, you'll like this. Plus, it is super cute and probably a good date movie. Also, I have a crush on Michael Showalter. Also, Banana Factory? Can anything be funnier? Also, a Cedar Point reference in a Michael Showalter film? Can you say "Made for Paul"? Because I can. I really can. And would I be talking about the movie or would I be talking about Jenny? You just wouldn't know, my friends. You just wouldn't know.
Okay, I'll stop making you sick with my cuteness now. But since I am done with that, I've run out of things to speak of. So, now it's off to bed or maybe not bed. But something. I probably won't update for a year so cherish these words.
