As I said before, I'm too lazy to really succeed up here. This is evidenced by the fact that after about 6 weeks into the semester I basically said "fuck it" to all my classes, changed them to pass/not pass, and stopped going. While failing 12 out 13 units in my first semester seems like a bad idea, I have found that it has contributed a great deal to my mental health, as I'm not tearing my hair out like everyone else. I have decided to switch from physics to history, though I will focus on the history of science. This should allow me to learn all the cool science concepts without having to do 10 hour problem sets on how replace charged conducting surfaces with image charges. We will see how long into next semester it is before I quit, drop out, and transfer to CSUSM. I have a job at the library up here, and I have found that I like libraries everywhere, and that being a librarian is quite possibly the coolest job ever, as you do almost no work and get paid a relative shit-ton. So... I might end up going to library school, if I can work my way around to actually, you know, finishing this B.A. first. That's pretty much everything new and (not so) exciting in the world of Blake.
You know... looking back at my older posts, I realize that I totally burned out on life about a year ago, probably around the same time I quit the ASG and started skipping class once a week or more. I was really ambitious, if not unrealistic, and none of that ambition is left. I really just want to spend my days reading, sleeping, and playing video games, and would be content living in a spare room somewhere and working at the library for 20 hours a week. Not that long ago, I wanted to make something out of my life... but I don't really care anymore.
P.S. If you get a chance to, read everything you can find by Terry Pratchett. It's like the Hitchhikers guide, but in a pseudo-fantasy setting, and his works are consistently good, where as only the first three hitchhiker books were good.
