...40 days...
I dont think I was clear enough yesterday when I rambled on about hating this place.
I hate this place.
It's not the people, or the lack of girls, or the scenery, or the classes, or the daily bullshit. It's ALL of that put together mixed in with a little generalized disgust for all things around me.
Man, that sounded harsh. Did I make my point yet?
I went to only one of my four classes today. But then again, I can only ever go to three of my four MWF classes because two of them are at the same time. People stare at me in disbelief when I tell them I'm taking "Electro-Optical Engineering" and "Engineering Electricity & Magnetism" during the same time slot. They ask me, "How is it possible? How did you get away with that?" They say it with admiration and awe, like I'm pioneering something incredible. In reality, it sucks something incredible.
The dilemma comes to me every MWF: "Which class do I go to today?"
A) Optics: The girl I like is in that class. I hate this class, but I need to learn the material.
B) E&M: I like this class. I learn in this class. I don't want to go to class at all
Decisions...
But there is good (or perhaps, "not pessimistic") news to report today. I went to the gym and had a really good workout. I feel absolutely exhausted right now. I'm not sure if it's because of the workout or because I haven't really eaten much in the past couple days. I really need to go grocery shopping.
Oh yeah, I might be getting a job working at NASA. Apparently they're hiring "50-70 new NASA positions" for "the new Moon-Mars initiative." Get this, Kennedy Space Center officials plan on visiting a few engineering schools (like MIT and GA Tech) to recruit. Someone on our side stood up and insisted they include Embry Riddle. SHOULDN'T THIS FUCKING SCHOOL HAVE BEEN THEIR FIRST CHOICE?!?! Jesus, it's WHAT WE DO. You see where my loathing comes from? All of the lies and false promises.
Anyway, now NASA is sending folks from KSC to ERAU. So perhaps I will be selected out of the thousands to work at NASA and become a professional rocket scientist. I daren't dream of it. I might get excited if I did. ::longing sigh::
I hope you enjoyed my anecdotes and complaints.
