Classes officially start tomorrow. It's going to be a loonnnnggg day... I have a paper to write. It's not due until Friday, but "it would be preferred" to get it in tomorrow, because we have another writing assignment that will be due on Friday as well. Anyway, I've been putting it off all night, and now I've finally sat down and opened Word, and I have nowhere to begin. So I figured I'd update this, and, you know, it might get the writing juices flowing or whatever. We went on a canoe trip yesterday, and I almost drowned. We got rear-ended by another canoe into a log and tipped. I fell ass first into the water, and when I tried to come back up, I kept hitting my head on canoes. You see, there were a bunch of us packed into a little area that was kind of tough to get through. Anyway, I made it out okay, obviously. We got back here and had COR class again. Nothing important, just a waste of time. Then I bought my books... 6 classes this semester, 12 books, $568. I am not shitting you. FIVE HUNDRED SIXTY-EIGHT FUCKING DOLLARS! For books that I'll use for a few months. Then I'll sell them back for practically nothing. I guess that's college. I think I am going to be able to go home this weekend. I can't wait. I mean, I've been down here since Friday, but it seems like at least a month. Maybe when classes start tomorrow things will settle down. But if I'm having trouble motivating myself to write this one paper, I can't imagine what I'm going to do when I have homework in six different classes... I guess I'll have to figure something out, just rear down and work my ass off for a couple of months. My first break is Thanksgiving, but it's only for a few days. Christmas is two or three weeks, and Spring Break is only a week. Only a week for a college spring break... they must know what students like to do on spring break... ;) I've been trying to get AOL IM to work for the past week, and I thought the service was just down, but I saw someone else using it today. So I re-installed it and it works. That's all it took. I'm an idiot, I swear. I'm still pissed off that I lost my last entry. It was five times this long and I hit one wrong button, and BAM! It's gone... Oh, well, what the fuck can you do. Here's what I have to write about:
What life lessons do you think this experience (New Student Orientation) might help you or someone else learn? What connections (real or potential) do you see between this river trip and your personal growth? How has God spoken to you through someone this weekend? How do you think God might have spoken through you to someone else this weekend? Do you see a connection between this activity and the subject of this class (Christianity and Activism)? Please explain.
Well, let's see... When I first saw this I thought it would be easy. 400 words; no introduction or conclusion in the first draft. Okay, well... Life lessons? I don't know. Personal growth? I don't know. How has God spoken through me? To me? I DON'T KNOW! Connection? What connection? No. I don't see a connection, thank you very much. And I don't feel like explaining. THIS SUCKS.
Now I need to go waste away more time trying to figure out something to write before it gets too late.
Peace out my brothers (and sisters)!
