As I get closer and closer to being finished with school, I am getting so overwhelmed. This semester is basically my last one as I am taking the remaining classes that I have left required for both my major and minor. That being said, right now I'm taking:
-Criminology - Development of Sociological Theory - Criminal Justice Systems -
-Sociology of Criminal Law - Criminal Procedure and Evidence -
The theory class is the one thats really fucking me. The good aspect is that at least they are all classes that I'm interested in and that I'm actually going to learn from. They also overlap so it helps.
I don't internet very much now of days, it's not as interesting as it used to be and I guess that's because I never hang out anymore really, so I don't know as many people as I used to. It's going to be worth it in the long run though, I'll actually be able to make something of myself after I'm done (well hopefully). It has been such a long journey to get to the place that I am at now. I never anticipated being in the place that i am now. Don't get me wrong I still love to have fun and "party", but it's something that is secondary, unlike when I was younger and just wanted to constantly be out of it. I guess I'm grown up or something in the like. Even though I am finally so close to being done with school, I'm looking into studying abroad for an entire semester in Prague, I have the grades and qualify, but can you fucking believe that it costs 22,000 and I will have to go back to Flagler in the fall and graduate then. I would cost me more than my entire college career has cost me to date or at least the loans I owe back. I might look into working abroad after I graduate or applying for a federal agent position. I feel like it is a good direction to take so that I can build my resume, because I did not join any clubs since I ended up working more than I would have liked.
The only dilemma that I have is Johnny, i had this path that i planned on following when I started Flagler, but happily enough I met johnny and things changed. I became a lot more happy and found someone that made me feel pride in myself. So now that I am at the end it's not just a decision for myself, it's one that we both have to make. I'm not sure if I could handle being without him for a prolonged amount of time not months especially. Whatever I do now though is going to help us and make our lives better, not just my own. He has not tried to hold me back at all in any of my goals, if anything he has urged me to be better and he wants to travel too. Basically we're married. I have never been as content as I am with him.
My family is like no other still and are constantly struggling in some form or another. I appreciate them a lot more now of days compared to when I was around the age of 16. My mom has matured a lot and has stepped up in her role as a mom to Logan and i really appreciate that. I may not have gotten the treatment that a child deserves, but the situations that I went through I would like to think has helped make me the man I have become. it's surreal to think that i am about to graduate from college with a GPA over 3.0 and at a private college. The first in my family. They are all proud of me and understand that I worked so hard to get here. It feels so good to be where I'm at. It's just scary because now that I'm here where do I go.
I want to be over the top wherever I end up and would like to live well without problems and with some fucking money. I don't ever want to live like I had to as a kid. I don't hang out with many people now of days and hardly have that many friends, but it's because of how serious I've gotten. It's not like I'm the way I am on purpose, I've grown into this person. I love the people in my life, but I expect a lot from the people I surround myself with. Sometimes I am too abrasive and outright, but that's just who I am and I want to be as truthful as possible so as not to come across the wrong way and because I just want to be "raw" with people.
I really like to use this and look at old friends and acquaintances because it makes me feel good to see where you all are at. It's nice too look back and see how the people who had an impact on my life are because I never want to loose all contact with the people that were practically my family.
It's been a while and it will probably be a while again, but It's nice to update in here so that I myself can look back and see in text the way that I felt at times throughout my life.
Although I'm not really sure about how many of you actually read mine, but it really don't matta'.
I just wish more of you would update especially pictures, because thats quicker and generally way more funny. Some of you are crazy.
