Classes, Band, Senior Year, Life
CLASSES
There are very few of them, and they all will be good, I think
sustainable energy systems is my "fun" class. 12 person class, really small. 75% of the final grade is a single project. zero exams. woot. also, field trips most wednsedays, odd.
Biosensors wil be sweet. Prof. Baeumner is rerally cool. we get to play charades in class. Day 1 was just straight out of 260, but whateve.
401 will be a lot of work. and its not nearly as interesting as 302. Cellular is much more interesting to me than organs slash tissue systems. Plus, more HW assignments, harder HW assignments, and individual lab reports. but none of the labs conflict with band. yay.
bioseparation processes...only 7 people in the class. the professor is a bit boring, but I get the feeling that it is a REALLY useful class to know. might be boring, but I hope it will be really applicable if I ever get to the real world.
Intro Ice Hockey. Again. yay. Jeff is taking it too, that is amazing. I'm not gonna play sieve, i'm gonna learn to skate and shoot and such.
Research. I spoke to prof butcher today. he is a cool dude. and i'm gonna get credit. and i'm doing decent work. I should do weekend workt hough. ugh.
BAND
ShowComm is hard work. Future Love was like the easiest it is ever going to be. Its really exciting when people appreciate it though. that will never happen again.
band camp made me exhausted. and actually injured. temporomadibular joint, or something like that. look it up on wikipedia. I definitely screwed it up. Its been okish today, but I haven't played in 2 days. if playing tomorrow makes it hurt more...maybe I should go to gannett or something. but "practicing" over the summer has kept my chops decent-ish, and using lots of air support has done a lot to help too. I hope we get the trumpet freshmen to stick around. we need that. Its beginning to be a bit too much. there were days when the hurt jaw made me not looking forward to playing. right now, i'm not looking forward to tomorrow morning; I just want to sleep. stay in bed al day, not leave the room. but that is not an option.
SENIOR YEAR
Walking around campus today, I realized that I have some sort of memory from almost every single spot on campus. Everywhere I walk, it reminds me of something. Or many things. from any one of my years here. And even though my classes are more interesting than they ever have been, and less stress than they ever have been because there are only 12 credits, I still feel kind of done with the hwole concept of classes. though...becoming a real person is terrifying. Basically, I don't want to stay here, but I don't want to leave. Even when all of my classes are really interesting, and small classes, and awesome, I don't really want to be there. good thing i'm signing up for MEng, nothing like more classes. and then I need to find a job, have a real life. I say I want to work at a pharmaceutical...but that's basicallly a shot in the dark. I've never tried it before, I have no idea if I'll like it. If I could even get a job, I don't know how easy or hard that is nowadays. Plus, I don't know that they'd actually have me do what I want to be doing...
LIFE
Not gonna lie. Still upset. Pretty significantly. I was really happy, and walking around I am reminded of this, and of the absence of things that were not absent for a while. I should not care anymore. but clearly I do. clearly i'm alone in that position. and that's the worst part. I kind of wish things were the way they could have been, not the way they are. But I cannot control that. I should just stop whining. If only it were as easily done as said.
In the mean time, my room is a mess. I'm way behind on chores, emails, obligations, sleep. I'm a bit of a mess.
Plus I gotta figure out my future, and then actually make it happen, instead of sitting on my ass moping. Not everyone has their future plans fall into place so easily and with such conviction...that's what I need, conviction.
Hockey is too far away. I've been reading hockey websites all summer. again. There's gotta be something more worthwhile to spend my days excited about.
